I wonder if folks will finally start talking about what I’ve been referencing for two weeks:
Are we days away from Draymond’s final game as a Warrior?
He has a player option that he’ll likely decline, looking for a big deal. I would be shocked if GSW gives it to him. – 8:48 AM

Wow! Draymond Green came down and kicked Domantas Sabonis on his chest while Sabonis was on the ground
Madness in Sacramento right now – 12:21 AM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Draymond Green just stomped on Domantas Sabonis. Has to be a Flagrant 2. Ejection imminent. Warriors down 91-87 with 7:03 left. – 12:21 AM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Yeah, Draymond is gone after that one. He knows it. He’s now yelling at his teammates, imploring to finish – 12:21 AM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Draymond Green just stomped on Domantas Sabonis. Get his ass out of the game. That’s gotta be a suspension too. Ridiculous. – 12:21 AM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Tech on Draymond Green after he steps on Domantas Sabonis’s chest/stomach area after Sabonis fell to the ground. Sabonis still on the ground. – 12:21 AM

Draymond had some words for Monk 😳 pic.twitter.com/zBW1ARfwaI – 12:16 AM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors scored, but what defense by Monk on Wiggins just to make them spend 10 seconds getting the ball in to Draymond in the post. – 12:15 AM

Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Challenge from Steve Kerr successful. Draymond Green’s 5th foul is wiped away. – 12:14 AM

The ref just guessed draymond fouled him off reputation 😂😂😂 – 12:13 AM

Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Kings fans chanting “Draymond Sucks” after he gives official Courtney Kirkland an ear full, protesting a foul call, which Steve Kerr will challenge. Kings up 83-77 10:44 4th. It – 12:13 AM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
I think Draymond intentionally hip checked Sabonis but he may have done it well enough to get reversed on the challenge. – 12:12 AM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
“Draymond sucks” chants at Golden 1 Center. – 12:12 AM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Draymond Green just got called for his fifth foul. GPII doing everything he could to cool Green down afterward. Kerr challenging the play while “Draymond sucks” chant rain down in Golden1. – 12:12 AM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Wow, that’s a hell of a call 40 feet behind the play. Sac crowd with a “Draymond sucks” chant. – 12:12 AM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
GP2 was doing everything he could to hold Draymond back there. Steve Kerr is challenging the foul
Kings fans chanting “Draymond sucks! Draymond sucks!” – 12:11 AM

Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Malik Monk and Draymond Green exchanged words at the end of the third quarter before heading to their benches. – 12:05 AM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Warriors down 83-75 going into the fourth quarter
Is this going to be the first time ever that Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will be down 2-0 in a playoff series? – 12:05 AM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Five fouls on Kevon Looney, four on Draymond Green, still 6:51 left in the third. Would think this would be a time for some extended Jonathan Kuminga. Ended the regular season strong, but has been minimized in this series. Only four first half minutes. – 11:44 PM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Four fouls on Kevon Looney with 7:22 left in the third. Draymond Green is already on the bench with four. – 11:42 PM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Draymond Green and Kevon Looney now both have 4 fouls – 11:42 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Looney joins Draymond in the four-fouls club – 11:42 PM

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Draymond picks up his fourth foul, and Moses Moody checks in. This foul problem is forcing Kerr to get creative with the rotation. – 11:37 PM

Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
gotta be one of the worst fouls of draymond’s season. what was that – 11:36 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Steve Kerr searching to open this second half. Two quick fouls on Draymond Green gives him four early in the third quarter and Kerr turns to Moses Moody to replace him. Moody’s first minutes of the series. – 11:36 PM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Four fouls on Draymond Green with 10:56 left in the third quarter. Picked up his latest personal contesting a Harrison Barnes 3-pointer. – 11:36 PM

Sam Amick @sam_amick
Well that seems significant: Draymond gets two fouls in the first 64 seconds of the third quarter, and now has four. Looney with three too. – 11:35 PM

Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA
Wonder how much we’ll see the Warriors eschew ball screens with their bigs and/or target Monk in the second half. That’d be one adjustment to watch. I also wonder if they limit Looney’s minutes and/or split him off from Draymond. Seems like they need Payton more in this series – 11:23 PM

Jimmy Spencer @JimmySpencer
Best lineup Warriors have right now:
Curry
Payton
Klay
Wiggins
Draymond – 11:19 PM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Kings lead the Warriors 58-52 at halftime. Golden State trailed by 10 points early in the second quarter.
Thirteen total turnovers for Golden State in the first half. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green combined for seven.
Kings won the second quarter 41-29. – 11:17 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Kings guards doing a nice job with early passes to Sabonis to beat Draymond’s rotation. – 11:08 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
With Looney in foul trouble and Kerr not comfortable playing Draymond big mins, it’s JaMychal Green time. Danger time for GSW, I don’t see how they stop the Kings with this group. – 11:04 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Draymond’s anticipating passes aren’t working against a defense that’s overplaying – 10:57 PM

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Draymond Green four turnovers – 10:56 PM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors had nine turnovers in the first quarter but enter the second with a 23-17 lead over Sacramento. Kings have nine turnovers too and they’re shooting just 8/21 from the field (1-13 from deep). Draymond Green has a team-high seven points for Golden State. – 10:41 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
did i just witness Draymond get whistled for setting an illegal screen? that’s allowed? – 10:40 PM

Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
If Draymond Green is considered a forward on the All-Defense team as he has been in the past, O.G. Anunoby’s chances to make an All-Defense team this season aren’t looking good – 7:39 PM

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
O.G Anunoby finished tied for 7th in Defensive Player of the Year voting, behind Jaren Jackson Jr. (the winner), Brook Lopez, Evan Mobley, Draymond Green, Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. He received 1 2nd-place vote and 5 3rd-place votes. – 7:15 PM

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have never been in a 2-0 playoff hole. No team has been better than the Warriors following a playoff loss since that trio began their first postseason run nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 4:15 PM

Fun two-game slate!
Talking Kerr’s rotation, Steph-Dray PNR, Fox and Monk drives, Embiid doubles, Philly’s outrageous spot-up shooting, Philly ball pressure late, Claxton touches, and a lot more in today’s NBA Matchups.
