Well, Clippers/Warriors ended up being quite something.
Draymond Green set the table early, just owning Paul Pierce for not getting the love during his retirement tour:
“You ain’t Kobe!” is such a great burn.
Then, Draymond Green did even more Draymond Green things, kicking at Blake Griffin during a loose ball scramble:
Man alive, Draymond. Keep your feet down. Did being suspended for an NBA Finals game not teach you enough of a lesson? He and Grayson Allen need to brought to some sort of therapy.
From there, Green’s night somehow got even more Draymond. In the third quarter, he and Blake Griffin got tangled up.

Side note: there’s no better end of the bench babysitter for Draymond than David West.
And then, after a lackluster first half, the Warriors roared to life. Draymond had been doing Draymond things, and it was Steph’s turn to do Steph things.
Such as this:
And then this. Come on:
That closed out a damn fifty-point third quarter, which is absolutely ridiculous.
This is the third 50-point quarter by any team in the last 20 seasons (last time was the Lakers vs Knicks 3/25/14).

If the Warriors find their top gear, they’re easily the best team in the NBA. The question, obviously, is whether they’ll be able to get to it in the playoffs.
Can those just start now, please?
