    Between Tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton, they are battling for the new best #0 in the league.

    Three guys got ejected when the score was 0-0. I wonder if that is a record at beginning of a game.

    Yep. Dame isn’t on this level anymore. It’s the changing of the guard.

    A chokehold is just beyond reproach. If he were a Blazer I would be sickened. How can GSW fans and organization continue to enable this shit? You and I both know he will continue this after his slap on the wrist 3 game suspension.

    It is bad for the league. I also didn’t like how he spoke to Ant Edwards. I know that kind of talk goes down but I just don’t like it. You know what I am referring to I am sure.

    Coming from behind and putting someone in the sleeper, that's assault at a minimum.

    The Golden State TV announcers were actually saying that Gobert first had Klay in a chokehold, which of course is completely wrong. Gobert had his arms draped over Klay holding his body. That is nothing like putting someone in a chokehold.
    The referees seemed to agree, because Gobert wasn't ejected and instead shot free throws.
    Klay, Jaden McDaniels, and Draymond were ejected.

    they also said Klay was just boxing out, but he clearly grabbed ahold of McDaniels Jersey as he was "boxing out."

    "Every team has an enforcer. The Warriors have Draymond."
    "The reason that Draymond went so demonstrably at Gobert, is that Gobert had Klay in a headlock."

    I dislike much of what Draymond does, but you guys are nuts calling that a sleeper hold and what not. Watch it closer, it's a loose grip. It's closer to dragging Gobert away from the action than it is choking him. It was just a bad choice of how to latch on.

    If a Blazer did that, most people here would be celebrating him for standing up for a teammate.

    You think the Warriors fans are celebrating?

    Another dismal shooting night for Victor Wembanyama, 4-15 vs OKC. What kinds of shots is he taking? He's 7'4".

    Look at Victor's total for free throws in the last two games: Zero.

    This is the result of years of enabling Draymond Green by the NBA and the Golden State Warriors.
    Who is the other player in the NBA that has sucker-punched his own teammate in like forever?
    He didn't even get a suspension for that.

    Still shots don't show the movement of the loose hold...

    Gobert is raising his arms like "WTF?", not struggling to get out of a choke hold.

    If any of us went to work and did that we'd be fired and jailed. Draymond gets to act this way freely because the NBA and Warriors have enabled and allowed it.

    There needs to be a big suspension here. This shouldn't be tolerated. As it is it will just be a 1 maybe 2 game suspension probably.
