I thought the referees were awful in the Warriors-Kings game. I was rooting for the Kings. I thought Curry was constantly getting fouled in the 4th, especially when he drove for layups, and nothing was called. However, the refs couldn't wait to call any foul on the Warriors if they went anywhere near Fox or Monk.

GSW barely drove the lane in the 4th.  They settled for shooting 19 3-pointers in the 4th and 50 overall.  The Kings on the other hand drove the lane a lot in the 4th.  Even so, the Kings only led in FTAs 32 to 27.  GSW didn't lose because of the refs.  They lost because of their shot selection which was their choice because the lane was definitely available.

I get the feeling that this Grizz vs Lakers series is going to be full of errors - bad defense and offensive mistakes / bad shooting.

Bane is awesome.

He is the next best player in this series after the two stars on either team (Bron, AD, Morant, JJJ).

(Still bums me Ainge decided to just trade away the pick so he could dump Enes Freakin' Kanter in a salary move)

I do really like that small ball option with JJJ at center next to 4 smalls. Two wings in Kennard and D Brooks and two guards in Morant and Bane.

The shooting ability in that lineup is lethal and it leaves so many driving lanes open for Morant to exploit. I worry about it on defense though. Too easy for LAL to get switches to matchups they want and harder to get help defense with size (and paint protection) over to help out.

I just hate Lakers. Would so like to see Memphis take this series.

Game a little sloppy since I tuned in.

Doesn't look serious thankfully but it's a shoulder. That could still affect him going forward

He said he couldn’t move his arm. That seems serious.

Could he be exaggerating the injury like he (and Lebron) have in the past? Some on Twitter think it's a stinger. IIRC, Tatum dealt with a shoulder stinger last season's playoffs too
