Could it be time to bring Draymond off the bench?

Prescient comment -- and Kerr said it was Draymond's idea.

Just watched the Draymond show and really appreciated his reasoning. This is the type of little stuff, the team dynamics stuff that leads to championships. Nobody is above the team and decisions are made about winning and nothing else. Part of that was to keep Looney feeling good and confident after his epic Game 3. Mission accomplished as he had no real regression in Game 4. Also liked how Dray took responsibility for the blown timeouts and end of game mistakes. Steph has to really appreciate that.

Kuminga. He was immediately yanked off the floor and never played another minute after he ball watched from the corner a Wiggins missed shot from the other side. All he had to do was prioritize getting the ball and he gets the ball and another shot for the W’s if not an easy put back or 2 FTs. Instead he stood inert, watching the ball and allowed Fox, who never could have grabbed the ball if JK went toward the rim and put his body on Fox, and maybe even if he didn’t get body on him, to get it. I was pissed off watching this in real time, so can only imagine how pissed the team and coaches were. Just totally, completely unacceptable and worthy of a benching. Hope this is a learning moment for Kuminga and a lightbulb goes on for him. Get your body on someone after a shot goes up, and go after the ball like your life depends on it!

Knicks have a pretty pedestrian offense but man do they play defense! Cavs now in trouble after terrible game from Donovan Mitchell.

My Finals pick Celtics took some counterpunches from Hawks in a wildly entertaining game, but that’s all they could do. Boston just has too many shot makers.

The Wolves sure are great at blowing leads, but giving up a 12 point bulge with less than 2 1/2 mins left is impressive even for them. They delayed the inevitable by somehow winning in OT. Kinda surprised they put up so much fight at end to play again in Denver.
