    How about just THE? Like Slash or Sting? Or maybe instead of The Situation we call you The Indigestion?

    I agree. I loved watching the young guys and will hope to see some growth over this season. Make no mistake we NEED to lose this year.

    People that were hoping for some Cinderella run will just need to adjust their expectations.

    You can lose and still show some fight and pride. It’s hard to lose and look really ugly doing it.

    Not when the end goal is losing.

    In all seriousness, them playing that lethargic on opening night tells me more about Chauncey than anyone else.

    Has he lost them?

    I think the more important question is if he ever had them.

    A snarky yet actual legit question. That’s impressive. This moves you into THE HCP and I territory …..take that as you will. THE HCP took it with extra butter. Chauncey hadn’t given anyone on the team a reason to buy in when hired…other than playing career.

    Someone earlier mentioned Clingans stats for the game, go check out stats for the top three picks.

    did you happen to notice Podzeimski's line? In 25 minutes, 0-5 from the field & zero points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 TOs & a +/- of +35!

    I saw Deni go down and grab his junk in pain. But when I immediately reviewed the incident expecting to see Green hit him there, I saw nothing of the sort. Maybe it was akin to the phantom mystery punch that Ali knocked Liston out with, but again I didn't see anything resembling a punch and the camera angle was pretty clear. If Draymond punched a someone it would have blown up immediately on social media, but that didn't happen...

    Replay cut short of showing it fully, but it looked to be a kick not a punch. Straight leg extension, partially blocked from view by another player.

    Yep. Straight leg kick to the nuts. For sure deliberate, IMO.

    Okay, kick not punch. My point remains: Green didn't like his technical foul, and waited a couple of playing minutes to retaliate. If he'd done so immediately, the refs would have connected the 2 events. But because he waited to act out his anger, they missed it and called Avijda for the foul. Green does this all the time because he gets away with it. Remember Nurkic lying on the floor in pain last season? Later Green and Curry interviewed about it and smirked at Nurkic.

    Dirty player, dirty team, fuck the Warriors. Plus...their broadcasting team is so conceited. They think the team is still the champion or something.
