    I don't think this reads like Dray is a victim. More like Dunleavy is saying that Draymond is agreeing with the league and the Warriors that he's a fucking asshole on the court and that needs to change but obviously nothing they have done has worked, so they have to try something new.

    I think that's the right approach I just have my doubts if Dray is being sincere or just saying what he needs to in order to get back on the court as soon as possible so he can cheap shot some more opponents.

    Green is a 33 year old grown man. He's played for 11 seasons. How many issues has he had over the years? This isn't someone who is going through problems. This is who he is. My experience on stuff like this is when someone tells you and shows you who they are believe them.

    Deandre returned last night after missing a few games recovering from knee soreness. He looked ok, but had a minor limp walking back to bench in 2nd quarter. He toughed it out and played the rest of his shifts.

    Current score: Hornets 39, Pels 50
    If Hornets win, we have a 2 game lead on them for the 4th best odds. If Pels win, they have a 4 game lead on the Dubs.

    Also tonight: Suns, Knicks
    If Suns win, they have a 3.5 game lead on the Dubs and will be sitting in 10th, or 9th (if Suns win, Pels lose).

    I feel like the place where Deandre was pressing on when he was on the bench either meant he had some kind of cramping in his quad but more likely some tendonitis in his quadriceps tendon. That'll cause some knee soreness but tendonitis is something a ton of athletes have to play through.

    Lakers trying to take control right now. The Wizards look like they're going to beat the Haliburtonless Pacers.

    Shit! I looked at the box score and thought I saw something, I obviously wasn't reading that correctly. Wow!

    It's pretty funny that those two teams got their fourth wins tonight against the two teams that played in the inaugural NBA Cup Championship.
