OKC fan checking in to say I was nearly as shocked as Cavs fans and maybe the Cavs organization by how OKC executed. They were sharp! Respect to the Cavs. Haven’t listened to the pod yet. They may take heat for this loss. For their sake, hopefully they get better from it.
Let’s go OKC! Shai is MVP!
Sga is nice but he gets away with the push off near the free throw line refs don’t ever call it it’s offensive foul
Giving Draymond credit for not being as chaotic as usual is crazyy😂😂😂
SGA is inhanced Manu Ginobili with a sprinkle of Kobe Bryant
Fun fact
Of the 91 NBA players to ever score 30ppg in a season, SGA is 77th in free throws per game
It's embarassing that he has to hire these media lackeys to run PR for him when we all know who he is and what he does.
Nothing's changed with Draymond, he's still doing the same things on the court he'd been doing his whole career. It will never change.
Poor Draymond reporting. How do you not ask him about the dirty plays on Steven Adams by doing groin shots.
Can't wait until the warriors go back to being a mid to lower team. Way TOO much attention on that squad
Donkeys don’t change their stripes
I just want to see Chet and iHart together. Also when Ajay heals up it should help the ball handling for the 2nd unit at least until Nikola Topic joins the team
He needs suspended for life. He’s a dirty player.
Its time for us to stop doing this whole "OKC is a team defense" when Lu Dort just shuts down an opposing player on his own. At some point people need to give Dort his flowers. He is the best perimeter defender in the entire league and its not even close. Outside of Wemby, Dort is the DPOY
Good for Draymond. There’s more to life than being a gifted basketball player, although he certainly is that. He’s a flawed human being but he’s willing to grow, unlike the keyboard warriors in here.
Ohm is the definition of a ball hog, always positive cozying up to whoever he is covering
Nobody cares about repairing and restoring Drainage Green’s reputation. F him
Great OKC convo. Did we need a Draymond puff piece?
It’s crazy to think that the eventual champions are guaranteed to add 1 lottery pick next year in Topic… the Philly pick is high chance and could be #7 at best in a stacked class… and 2 other picks in that draft too.
And our best players are under 26. What the heck
14:16 Aye YOOOOOO…..PAUSE
Therapy works ❤
yo Brian the way you diminished the okc win by saying "they hit a lot of threes" is condescending to the fact that's THE ONLY REASON WHY THE CAVS ARE WHERE THEY ARE. OKC whooped them its ok you dont need to diminish that Mr. The Land gtfoh
Rockets kings game review would have been a better topic 😢
Warriors media delusion
SGA is a lot like Luka in they play at their speed. It's next to impossible to speed them up. That's a good thing. It means they are always in control. Most player you can speed up and it lowers their effectiveness. Not SGA. He plays at his speed not yours.
You guys gotta get wob on the pod. Would be legendary
Cavs beat okc the cavs are the best team in the league the Okc thunder beat the cavs the Cavs had a bad night make it make sense
draymond "hasn't completely crossed the line". Yeah, ok, but grabbing Edey's foot was like walking up the the edge of a massive cliff and leaning way the hell over. No history with the rookie. No reason to grab him like that. Literally nobody in the league acts like that…. and his comments after the game on his own podcast was basically "what are you talking about, nothing happened". If he was "better" he'd acknowledge "yeah man, I acted out there, and caught myself…." That would have shown me growth. First own up to your mistakes – otherwise you'll never truly get better
Lu dort ist bot one of the best 3D Player, He ist the best!
Thunder Up! ⛈
A Windy Sleep Update is way overdue!!!
A Windy Sleep Update is way overdue!!!
Not interested in Draymond content.
bontemps was talking how we all feel about draymond green
i dont excuse draymond for anything. and all this therapy talk is a facade that hides his true self. he is quite literally a sociopath who knows that an article like this will give him grace to lash out aggressively again with out being at fault because he "healed his mind through therapy"
ESPN trying so hard to have Draymond rehabilitated because he is and will be one of their talking heads. It's pitiful.
Quite amazes me how much recognition and validation gets Draymond G. for NOT being violent and how the players who suffered the agression get no attention at all. Jordan Poole has a masive interview, specially considering how his career has been decimated after Draymond's agression.
Though I firmly appreciate the courage and generosity for opening up about therapy by Green, all looks like as an apology of the bully to me.
The reporting is great. At the same time, adding other point of views to complete the story would by appropriate in my opion.
Thanks for the content in any case. Cheers
