GS Warriors vs. Timberwolves

Too bad I missed this. Are we sure that Draymond and Klay didn't want to load manage and this was their way of doing it?

Wow. It looks like Draymond had wanted to do that forever and saw his chance. What, was he pissed about Gobert winning some DPOY awards he thought he should have won?

Gobert was trying to calmly break up the fight.

I have a sense Draymond will be getting a multiple game suspension.   What a putz

Most likely. Klay got really screwed in all this.

Draymond gets 5 games. Everyone else gets fined. I guess it cost Gobert 25K to hug Klay Thompson. Klay and McDaniels get ejected and fined for something that would have been a double technical and forgotten about 5 minutes later had Draymond not decided to go after Gobert.

Draymond is talked about like he is a sure HOFer, but the nickname he supposedly punched Poole about is perfect. He gets called "the backpack" by a group of guys because they way he's been carried his whole career by Steph Curry. If he doesn't play with Curry and Klay, he's some role player type that only avid NBA fans remember. Is there a huge difference between Draymond and Dillon Brooks?

Maybe being the 4th or 5th best player on teams that won 4 NBA titles is enough to get you in, but if Draymond is a HOFer, why isn't Al Horford? He's the same type of defensive player and an exponentially better shooter. Are Marcus Smart and Jrue Holiday Hall of Famers? Bam Adebayo?

There are plenty of Wolves fans that would love to choke out Gobert.  The fact Minnesota passed on Steph Curry doesn’t help matters.  

I’m actually surprised Green only got 5 games.  I mean, what’s next?  Him tazing some guy on the court?

It's not just that they passed on him, but they passed on him twice and picked a point guard both times. At least you could understand picking Rubio. Flynn not os much.

1. LAC - Blake Griffin

2. MEM- Hasheem Thabeet

3. OKC- James Harden

4. SAC- Tyreke Evans

5. MIN- Ricky Rubio

6. MIN- Jonny Flynn

7. GSW- Steph Curry

DeRozan went 9th, Brandon "Bucks in 6" Jennings was 10th, Jrue Holiday was 17th.

The fact they have let him berate officials for minutes at a time for years without T'ing him up but hand out the types of technicals to Giannis (and others) for mean mugging makes the NBA complicit in all this.

As a guy that was a casual Wolves fan the 4 year David Kahn run at GM might be the worst in professional sports history.  

Everyone knows the Steph Curry debacle (twice lol), but DeRozan would have been a nice consolation prize.

The following year they took Wesley Johnson instead of DeMarcus Cousins- taken one pick later.  Heck, PG13 and Gordon Hayward were also sitting there.  

Trading for and extending Darko Milicic was pretty hilarious.

Drafting Derrick Williams 2nd overall was a mess. In that draft, they could have gotten Kemba Walker, Kahwi Leonhard, or Klay Thompson instead.  Marcus Morris at 2 would have been better.

I’m not sure just guessing or flipping a coin wouldn’t have gotten much better results.
