Kickin’ It With Dray Dray: Watch This Draymond Green Kick Compilation

Kerr led the Warriors to a league-best 16-2 (.889) record during the season’s opening month, including an NBA-best 12-game win streak. Another poor defensive game Friday could doom them against the prolific Houston offense.

The Rockets earned a thrilling, pulse-pounding, you-needed-to-stay-up-late-for-this, 132-127 double overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

However, Green kicked his right leg in the air while being fouled, smacking Harden in the head in the process.

After the play, Harden grabbed his face in pain.

“The thought that would be a flagrant never crossed my mind”, Green said.

Curry will be an unrestricted free agent in July 2017, while Durant will be able to opt out of his two-year deal and sign elsewhere. The Curry-Thompson-Iguodala-Durant-Green lineup has played 68 minutes, and it has been overwhelming. And when Harden connected on both his attempts, all of a sudden the Houston advantage was up to 128-124. “That’s what you have to do”.

HollywoodLifers, who will you be rooting for in this big game?

Harden registered yet another triple-double, notching 29 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists in Thursday’s win.

Ryan Anderson matched Harden’s team-high point total and Gordon added 23 off the bench for the Rockets.

After all the Rockets’ suffering at the hands of the Warriors, the Rockets were willing to play all night if necessary in search of a win. When the Warriors take 44 of them and only come away with 12, it’s a bit of a disappointment. Houston has hit at least 10 3-pointers in 18 straight games – the longest such streak in National Basketball Association history.

The Warriors were especially out of sorts at the end, in the second overtime, where Stephen Curry fouled out with 3:25 left after a charging foul against Montrezl Harrell. It was Golden State’s first double-OT game since December 11 past year at Boston and first at home since November 10, 2012, vs. Denver.

Durant also had three steals, three blocks and a gorgeous give-and-go to Green. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson shot a combined 13-of-42.

At least we now know that Green is performing at playoff intensity.

Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr has been named NBA Western Conference Coach of the Month for games played in October/November, the league announced today. The latest questionable incident involving Draymond Green took place with 2:10 left in double-overtime. “For us to come in and get a win says a lot about our team and how much we’ve been working and what we’re trying to accomplish”. Harden then made both of his free throws, the Rockets got the ball back, and Eric Gordon made a basket. The Golden State Warriors would lose the game he missed, as well as the final two of the series, which culminated in the team losing the title to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As it happened, the Warriors trailed by three points and had possession of the ball. There were 14 lead changes and 13 ties in the game.

It’s the first time this season the 13-4 Cavaliers have lost two straight.

The Houston Rockets will have an intact lineup in anticipation of the upcoming game against Denver. Veteran big man Nene was given the night off to rest.
