GP2 out for weeks with a dislocated elbow. That was an ugly play by Brooks. The smack across the head alone would’ve got him a flagrant 2, but the fact he did it while GP2 was in the air makes it reckless and dirty IMO. Brooks head is down and he doesn’t even jump to properly try and block the ball is pretty damning on any defence of his actions.
I’m a big fan of Brooks and have been since I saw him as a freshman for the Ducks. He’s always played with the fire in the belly and hard nosed, but man this was too far.
GP2 is a key player for the Warriors. He’s obviously a locked down defender, but his athleticism and work around the basket on the boards and in the offence has been vital.
Yup it was a dirty and reckless play. In these situations perhaps the player should be suspended until the victim can play again? It's Payton's job to mark Ja so Memphis benefits

Completely agree with this. Very reckless and the chance of GP2 NOT getting injured was next-to-zero.
@mariner4life Brooks got 1 game. I reckon it should have been 5. No genuine attempt to play the ball, incredibly dangerous.

How lucky was Max Kleiber? Slight little push from JaVale and that’s what can happen with these big dudes.
And you all know I’m still dirty on Danny Green hitting Klay Thompson in the head which resulted in an ACL…

Mavs get their first win at home. Despite the Suns shooting better and rebounded better, the turnovers killed them. Very uncharacteristic for them. CP3 was on this ridiculous run of low turnovers but was Harden-esque today.

If Warriors cut down the turnovers, they’d be up by 30 or 40

I didn't watch the game but read about Ja getting hurt. So did Poole show intent?
It seemed pretty innocuous because there was tight D and a double team and Ja was struggling to maintain possession. But no doubt it will be put in slow motion and replayed over and over to appear differently.
“Broke the code” - Ja’s tweet

It's nothing like the GP2 hit

Big Stevie Adams making a huge impact with his defence and offensive rebounding.
Warriors haven’t played that bad in the first half, but the Grizzlies have been lights out.
-
Ja Morant is really really fucking good at basketball
but
given the evidence this year, are the Grizz a better team with him out?
-
Grizzlies are on a tear. Warriors turning it over like nobody’s business.
Grizzlies getting plenty of scoring opportunities
-
Doubled the rebound count, doubled the assists and will probably double the Warriors score.
-
And what a finish in Boston! TGF and Holiday are just relentless. Boston blew that one big time.

Jrues D late was nuts. Cool to see a game won with 2 x massive defensive plays.
Apparently his opponents are shooting 33% during the playoffs. Pretty obscene.

James Harden that’s weak bro. You’re on $40m+ a season and in a do or die playoff game you only put up 9 shots. Yeah you had assists, but your team is struggling to score and you go gun shy. Not even a FT attempt in 43 minutes of ball!
