Kerr takes issue with ‘F you, Draymond’ chants

Just when the physicality intensified on the court in game 2 of the playoffs series of the first round of the Warriors against the Houston Rockets, coach Steve Kerr believed that fans inside the exhausted Toyota center crossed the line.

“It is not ideal when a crowd is singing ‘F you, Dayand’,” Kerr said the loss of 109-94 by Golden State on Wednesday night to the east of the series in one game each. “I am in favor of fans who encourage their team, and if you want to shout the opponents, great. But I think ‘F is’ is a bit.”

The four letters becomes unison when the clock ended and Green spread in its seat at the Warriors bank. It was the first time that an opposite crowd directed the song to Green, particularly in Boston during the NBA finals of 2022.

Green seemed to be less upset by the obscenities than his coach.

“It’s not original,” he shot while polishing his sunglasses behind the microphone. “I’ve been there before, he won a championship while it happened. You can’t steal other people” (things). That belongs to Boston. “

However, as the series changes to San Francisco, it already has tasks about the intensity of the most fierce previous battles of the Warriors.

“Houston played very well; they were really physical, as we expected,” Kerr said. “We have to lick our wounds and return to work tomorrow.”

“This is the one we have in the whole season,” said Houston Tari Eason striker. “We have a difficult team. We have a sandy and thick team throughout the season. We are who we are.”

The Rockets surpassed the Warriors by two digits and kept them below 100 points for the second consecutive game, but also showed that they were not afraid to disturb him. The teams combined for six technical offenses, three each, and could have been more.

Neither Green nor Fred Vanvleet put themselves after exchanging words at the end of the last quarter, which led both banks that spilled on the court and need to be separated. The only foul evaluated was in Eason, who threw a tower into the group of Golden State players.

“With them, some of the guys who have there, their things is trying to overcome it mentally,” said Eason.

Hello names of name. But the multitude of Houston did it.

“It’s a competitor, he will always be in the mixture. I will ride Drayond forever,” Kerr said. “Due to his career, his championships, his fire, he will be a lightning rod. That is part of that. He would prefer that fans use a little more discretion and remember that the guy has children. Maybe I am the old school.”

Quinten Post, who obtained one of the Warriors technicians, said: “I think you saw many more emotions on both sides” compared to the first game of the series. Green, on the other hand, not only minimized the crowd but also the intensity on the court in a game that saw the Warriors lose Jimmy Butler III due to injuries that fight for a rebound in the first quarter.

He said he thought it was “a little less physical than game 1”, and after a thought, Stephen Curry competed.

“There were only a couple of accidents that happened,” said Curry, who was not above putting on the ground for a loose ball, fighting with the top scorer of the Rockets, Jalen Green, in the first half.

“We know what your mo and what they are trying to do: use their size and athletics to try to intimidate. We put a fairly good fight in both.

Both teams have two days to recover before game 3 on Saturday, but the destiny of the Warriors probably rests on the results of the magnetic resonance that is scheduled for Butler in the middle. He was diagnosed with a pelvic bruise after the hard finger in his pussy.

While Amen Thompson was called for a common lack in the play, she was determined to be flagrant. When the offensive glass crashed, Thompson undermined Butler and took his legs from under him.
