    Wow. Every issue we’ve had getting people to take concussions seriously in one clip.

    Countless sports plays that didn’t “look bad” have injured players. We literally watched an extreme example of that play out with Damar Hamlin.

    the attacks on AD were annoying but they are now just over the top and gross. Like enough. For real.

    What a bunch of bleeps in the media. NBA superstars have gotten concussions. Kobe got one in the all star game. Magic got kicked in the back of the head by Horace Grant. Pau missed an entire week with concussion protocol. What a bunch of ignorant blowhards.

    The refs letting everything go led to the Looney elbow (wasn't dirty but the players know when the refs are letting thing go)
    Meanwhile it was NOT even, Wiggins puts his body into the post defender whistle - just ridiculous. They got Dennis for one of these and that was the key to the game. Lakers played even with the Warriors except in the Vando minutes and after Dennis got his 3rd. W or w/o AD that was the game

    Need to start Lonnie for Vando and a lot more Dennis plus Austin for Game 6

    does anyone enjoy stephen a smith? i never have. and the clown act is just so tiresome. i never liked d*** vitale for the same reason, but at least vitale wasn't an a****** on top of it.

    let's see how smith takes an elbow from a 6'9" 250lb human. no really, i'd pay to see it.

    It amazes me what Dray's mouth gets away with. Ref straight up gave him a warning to stop talking or he was going to get a T. Dray told him no and HE DIDN'T GET A T. Then when in a game he does get one, it's free reign to go on as many rants as he wants the rest of the game because they don't want the storyline of being the ref who tossed him.

    If anyone else did that s***, they're hit with two Ts and are gone. But cause it's just Dray being Dray, it's not. Why wasn't Sheed given that latitude in his battles with the refs? If reputation gets you out of trouble, then let's have one of our guy's reputation be for the player who punches other team's best player in the mouth every game. Sure, they'll get ejected the first few. But after that, it's just Pip Jr being Pip Jr (or whoever) and they'll get away with it. Right? That's how this works.

    draymond got to foul everyone last game, too. i hope we sent film to the league office of all his junk. if he can't foul, he's dead against us. he can't handle AD or lebron.

    If you have to SCREAM to get your point across, then either you have none or everyone already knows what you have to say. I usually avoid pre and post game shows. The only way I see commentary is here when someone posts a clip or mentions it.

    The moving screens, blatant hooks and pushing in the back... but no worries, it will all be over tomorrow.

    looney was shoving all over, too. really hope we come out and beat the daylights out of them. you want to play physical? that's fine. wonder how the refs will react if we set picks with head-high elbows for curry all game. he'll just have to toughen up, right, SAS?

    We can more that match that if necessary, and the refs are not going to swallow their whistles in the Crypt to force G7. You can be sure of that. They managed to extend the series, but that's about it.

    What's funny is that youtubers do a better job breaking down the games then these so called professionals that get 7 figure salaries.

    How much technicals fouls does Draymond Green have in the playoffs? He was apparently daring the refs to give him one last night. He might be getting close to a suspension so he knows they don't want to T him up.

    I enjoy his scoops from players, because they like and talk to him for some reason. But I don't think the younger kids talk to him, it's whoever is left from the mid 30s NBA crowd. After those guys are out, his value greatly diminishes.

    Show that f***ing Looney non-call to the NBA now! That directly led to the elbow that took AD.

    Elbow into the neck - come on

    watching how they (and memphis, really) played AD, the nba needs to think about whether they want to protect their stars a bit more. again, if i'm the next round opponent of either team, my plan is to just foul curry or foul AD and lebron. hard. every play.

    Maybe "enjoy" isn't the right word, but it gets ratings. And he's not even the worst.

    Skip Bayless is still on television.
