Imagine him trying to get physical with guys like Charles Oakley or Alonzo Mourning lol.
He would have got his ass kicked.
Put a fork in the warriors "dynasty" its done.
Andrew Wiggins is no Kevin Durant.
Time to rebuild.

Agreed -- Adam Silver is the consummate "Players' Commissioner." Much like a parent who says yes to their child at all times in order to be their best friend.
I wasn’t able to watch last night. I’m really surprised by Keegan’s stats. Are they just not playing him much because the bench is getting more production? That Monk guy is going off
Missed the first quarter, but Keegan got pretty sparse minutes during the balance of the game,... didn't appear to be looking for his shot..
I have noticed many coaches have quick hooks in playoffs.
All about matchups and productivity.
Keegan is just not winning his matchup early and brown ain't messing around.
Not worried...the intensity and physicality of playoffs take some time for a rookie to process.
Long series looms.
Great games. Foxy Huerter sabonas and monk held the fort last nite.
Expect hell at Chase on Thurs.
Hope Sabonas X-rays of his ribs and lungs are clear after draymonds stomp. Street fight out there. Does not fit Keegans Iowa nice nature.

I actually watched the entire game last night and agree with ^^^. I don't watch NBA ball, but Keegan looked pretty passive to me- he wasn't moving at all. Had a couple of rebounds but wasn't really moving with out the ball.
It might just be me, but Sac will be fine with or without Keegan in this series. If they get to the next round maybe he'll have a better matchup.
Monk & Mitchell have been huge off the bench.
Remember when Dramond backed into Sabonis? Was that really an accident?
3 minutes of highlights from last night:

Sacramento is deep, especially at Keegan's position. Brown is going to push the pace, and he's going to bring in bodies to keep doing it and wear down the older Warriors. Keegan got a steal early and then made a terrible pass and a turnover in transition. Kings were down early so he brought in the reinforcements. Monk and Lyles were hot the 1st game. I'll admit I didn't watch the 2nd half as I went to bed. If Keegan is going to be passive he isn't going to play much in this series. Kings are playing fearless, Keegan needs to do the same if he want's to be on that court.
Yep on the bolded. It has probably been mentioned that the playoffs are a different, so maybe KM wasn't/isn't prepared. He'll be fine I'm sure but as you mentioned SAC is deep. KM just needs to up the ante so to speak.
Brown has not been shy about playing at a break neck pace and I'm not sure if Keegs is confident enough to run at that level. Brown wants him to gun and go, but he has not been that assertive just yet. it will come.
A lot of Keegans offense comes in the two man game with Sabonis in the dribble handoff.
The warriors have basically neutralized that play by dropping Sabonis man into the lane and letting the other defender fight over the top of the screen.
The dribble handoff is like an option play in football. If the ball handlers man trys to help over he can just keep the ball and drive with both defenders now behind him. The Warriors are eliminating Sabonis option to drive which is taking away any element of confusion in how to defend it.
You don't really get a full screen with the handoff so its not that hard to get over it.
The Kings went a little more straight screen and roll in game two and thats the counter to Sabonis man dropping in the lane. Without the ball hes able to set a full body screen on the ball defender and theres no help so the ballhandler can get down hill every time.

Green doesn't get the reputation of being probably the dirtiest player in the NBA by "accident." He was the same way in college.
Draymond Green has been suspended for game 3. The suspension was “based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts,” the NBA said in its press release.
There's this, too. The Commissioner had quite a view of Green's choice to escalate with the crowd.
Check this out & watch. They zoom in on the commissioner.

I think they lose one of the next two now.
He got suspended for the stuff with the crowd more so than the stomp.
This. Egging the crowd on is just stupid with a capitol S. People forget years ago in Detroit I believe where players went into the stands attacking fans, who had also crossed the line. Green's actions were the kind of thing to get some drunk fan to come down for some, and then we have a repeat of that mess. The NBA simply can't afford that kind of ugliness on prime time playoff spotlight......
Lots of families attend these games too, and when a youngster sees their favorite player get stomped and lying on the floor, I have to wonder what they are feeling. Then- he (Green) goes full wrestling mode with standing on a chair and taunting the crowd. Glad he was suspended again, but will it make a difference in the next game or beyond? Who knows. Maybe not. I'm not excusing the ankle grab by Domas either, but stomping a chest is pretty severe with possible Sternum and rib breakage.
It wasn't even an ankle grab. Domas was pulling his arms up around his head to protect himself and in the process trapped Green's leg. Once Green tried pulling his leg out Domas opened his arms up enough to let him go. Doesn't get much more clear than the baseline view. His hands didn't wrap around his leg. He's going fetal into a protective position.
He did grab his ankle. Theres other angles that clearly show it.
It's irrelevant because Green absolutely could have stepped over him but choose to step on him.
It was a series winning play by Sabonis. He outsmarted the shit head at his own game.
