Draymond Green was deserving of the Defensive Player of the Year Award. He can guard 5 positions. And yes he did guard Davis and Davis did have great numbers in the series. but down the stretch of games he went cold. This could be because of the minutes Davis played, inexperience, or Draymond locking down on him.

I'm a big fan of Draymond Green. But who was Bogut guarding... or did GSW just play super small (which they do at times).

Bogut guarded Asik, and Davis when they went with the Davis-Anderson Fromtcourt. But New Orleans hurt them with the Davis-Anderson lineup causing GS to go with either Curry-Thompson-Barnes-Igoudala-Green or Curry-Livingston-Thompson-Barnes-Green

I'm a big fan of Golden State because I've been a Curry fan since he was in college when I jumped on the wildcats bandwagon because their schools name was the same as my last name (lame I know) and I love Draymond's game. Not a big Thompson fan because he's a bit of a douche, but Kerr really has them playing at a level I really haven't seen in my days of watching basketball.

I have to imagine the Davis/Anderson lineup one was better... despite Asik being a legit big man defensive presence.

Anderson was hot a couple games. Asik has apparently not lived up to expectations this year and really didn't have much of an impact in the series, though it was probably tough for him to impact it when the Warriors really aren't an attacking the rim type of team

As far as the play itself, I doubt Olynk meant to hurt him, but it's just one of those often occurring playoff scrums where things get a little more physical than they normally would. Although maybe K-Love wouldn't know about that since he's never been in the playoffs.

I just watched the replay that's how I feel about the play. I don't have a problem with Love saying he thinks it was on purpose. We don't know maybe it was it probably was a heat of the moment thing but whatever basically it's part of the game when you battle down there.

K-Love might want to be careful when he calls that "bush-league"

If the Bucks win game 6 to force a climatic 7th game, watch out for one of biggest fixes you will ever see. I've been following the national media in covering this series. Tim Legler and whoever else has commented on the series completely dismissed the Bucks after game 2. One guy even said that when he watches the games he isn't paying any attention to the Bucks, he was solely focusing on the Bulls to try and handicap the next series. Can't believe how much talk there has been on a Bulls - Cavs series. Not the potential Bulls - Cavs series, but the set in stone Bulls - Cavs series.

Now honestly the Bulls probably don't need any help to close this series out. But if they do, they are going to get it. I can't wait to see it happen.

We've discussed the promise of Milwaukee vs. the promise of Minnesota.

I think we're seeing just how far ahead of the Wolves the Bucks are. They need more shooting, a big man... and to keep Middletown, but that team is long and athletic and continue to improve.

The Bucks always have a decent amount of talent but It seems to me that he has done a pretty good job getting a lot out of those guys.

They are long and athletic. With enough semblance of a system to almost make that their identity.

If Flip was coaching the Bucks they would have already swept the Bulls.
