Consider the source. Those are two of the dumbest men to ever disgrace a broadcast booth.

2023 NBA Playoffs

Randle is a good regular season player when he plays w high energy as he isn’t naturally athletic. In the playoffs that energy is matched so it’s not a good match for him.
I disagree. With Randle pulling his disappearing act, they needed someone to pick up the scoring load, and he was that guy all game long.
He's been fantastic on defense too.
And Josh Hart won the last few minutes of this game.
You didn't appreciate earlier in the game when on one possession they stated that the Cavs need to close airspace on Brunson and make him drive to the hoop, then within two possessions were chastising the Cavs for not staying in front of him?
The moment is looking just a bit too big for Cleveland, other than maybe Garland. Mitchell has had a truly miserable game, 5-18 with 6 turnovers.
Randle gets a bit of a pass, because a)he's coming back from injury, b)they were up 2-1 coming into today, and c)they won. Mitchell just killed Cleveland today.
He's got competition, but Jordan Poole just may be the worst defender in the NBA. Especially considering the qualify of some of his teammates (Looney, Green, Wiggins), he's just awful.
Interesting to see how Brown uses Len today w Draymond coming off the bench. The coaching chess match has begun.
The announcers made the comment that the non-Steph minutes have been a disaster for the Warriors, and they weren't kidding. SSS so it's not worth much, but the Warriors are outscoring SAC by 13 per 100 possessions when Steph plays, and are being outscored by 49 points per 100 possessions when he sits. It's just 29 total minutes, but I don't believe I've ever seen a net rating of 62 before, not over multiple games.
I’m not so surprised Randle is struggling this series, Mobley is a tough matchup for him and he still seems rusty, but I’m amazed NY is up 3-1 with both he and Quickley being duds offensively, plus Grimes out today.
Mitchell Robinson is playing maybe the best he ever has, Josh Hart is a whirlwind, and Brunson of course is remarkable. One more!!!

Making a leap during the regular season is one thing but when you are a STAR and make the leap in the postseason…..now that’s special. De’Aaron Fox, we are all witnesses.
Ton of hard contests by the Kings perimeter defenders but when Steph, Klay and Jordan are in rhythm it simply does not matter.
Yeah thats another weak broadcasting take. They are piling up these days.
I wrote prior to G3 that this was how the Kings need to play to beat the Warriors….fast, crazy and helter skelter. Golden State is gassed with hands on shorts during nearly every stoppage. Not gonna lie, I did not think they were capable of doing it THIS well throughout their lineup on the road like this….especially with an early start. So impressive.

The Kings are shooting the ball really well in this game. They are shooting 30/58, including 9/20 on 3s, despite taking only 10 shots in the restricted area. Fox and Murray in particular have 36 points with just two layups/dunks combined and no free throws. A lot of those are good looks because the Warriors are going under screens and daring them to shoot, but I don't know if they can keep that up all game.
Sac, in terms of composure, is just better than Cleve and Memphis. I have to wonder if Mike Brown is a key factor?
Kings came out without the urgency to push pace which got them open look after open look and now the Warriors have taken over. It was nearly an impossible task to run a track meet for 48 min on the road during the day but that was their only path here.
I despise them but of course not as much as LA. Which of these teams has the better shot at stopping this LA crap? I fear answer is GS.
He didn't learn anything.. immediately comes back after the suspension and swipes Murray in the face. Fuck these fucking enablers.
That would be fantastic but there is no way Sacto gets the benefit of any whistles against the mighty LeCon.
Listen, I hate the Lakers….but I hate this iteration of Golden State more.
I am 34 and I can’t think of another player in the last 20 years that is as despicable of a player as Draymond Green
Eh I’m a bit older so there is a long roster of Pistons that I can add to that list.
He also screamed in Fox’s face after an And 1…..a clear and obvious taunt. But draymond is such scum that it doesn’t even register
Turning point of that 3Q was when Kerr moved Draymond onto Fox. He’s not the most likeable guy for those who care about that stuff but this guy is so critical to what these Warriors do. Kudos to Kerr too as much as that pains me to say.
Golden State looks very tired. The Kings ran them out of their comfort zone in the 1H and are now getting physical with them in the 2H. Warriors gas tank seems close to E. This is going to be a great finish.
That's one way of putting it.
Another way of putting it is to say he's a cheap shot artist who tries to hurt other players or his teammates and constantly lashes out physically at other people.
He still celebrates every three like he's never hit one before.. he's more or less like Klay wands Poole with more talent.
Edit: and as the leader of the team he does nothing ever to try and calm Green down
They're all jackasses
edit: Poole has all the entitlement of the other two with less talent and only one ring.
The shot-making in this game is SOOO much higher than the earlier game or the Philly game.
Of course, the defense is also that much worse
