The wrong person's achilles was torn last night, tbh.
Basketball IQ and controlling your temper are not mutually exclusive, but they're not necessarily directly related either. His basketball IQ is still pretty high. His ability to control his emotions, not so much. High basketball IQ comes in quite a wide range of temperaments. Cool, calm, collected composure is not the only shade.

It's pretty obvious that he gets targeted by the officials, tbh..
Harlem with the trolling bads. I’m sure someone will bite though
People touted as having the highest basketball IQ in the league are notorious for making boneheaded decisions in high pressure moments. Chris Paul comes to mind. Draymond is no different. He has the bravado on the floor, isn't one to defer like Kawhi did over and over last night, but doesn't have the talent that Kawhi has and so isn't the face of the franchise. His decisions shouldn't have the impact they do but he gets so close to that edge all the time with the chip on his shoulder routine, I feel sometimes he takes his team out of their rhythm with his antics. That back court yesterday was horrible, and the fact the last few minutes had so many boneheaded turnovers on both ends just highlights the pressure folks are under at that moment, and how ty the coaching is for both sides that neither side called a timeout to regroup.
I noticed it. I posted last night that I would do everything possible to bait him into a tech in game 6 so he would be out for game 7.
But Draymond knows he won’t get t’d up for anything less that kicking someone in the nuts. And he will show this at some point during the game by going at an official at level 10, and they won’t do a damn thing. He acts like a student who know that no matter much he deserves to get his ass kicked, he can berate a teacher without any consequences.
If he somehow manages to get t’d up, all the media will cry how it’s not fair because he was baited, or it’s the finals and he should be allowed to show emotions. Dude acts like a all the time and the ac ulation warrants his suspension, not the one individual act.
Warriors played on cheat code for years. No Curry walking around acting like the defense the Raps are playing is not fair.

In the end, the Warriors just couldn't overcome the EIGHT Draymond turnovers, the dumb gamble he took and let Siakam loose for the killer late basket, then of course the timeout he called that the Warriors didn't have
Top 10 player in the league can't give you more than 10 pts per game when his team is needed of scoring.
Flops a turnover in a super crucial moment of the game when Lowry is guarding him.
flopped
called a C-Webb timeout
“Doesn’t panic”
He got owned throughout this series by Ibaka,Siakam,Gasol. He's going to be a big target next year now that he's no longer on a stacked team.
Seeing so much of the Fake News Warriors getting exposed is nice.
He did some stupid in this series, like that backcourt violation in game 5
And he couldn't stop Siakem when it mattered most.
So much for his defense and IQ. Both proven overrated.
Has Gaymond been granted his release from the Warriors yet?
best defender in league history
today’s nba is so horrible draymond can just shift around and roam the paint at 6’5” because no one can buy a post move
today’s nba inflating stats to make him look like an actual player.
ML Carr actually made a big defensive play in a Finals game against a worthy opponent
True true
Now now cut him some slack. He showed awareness and humor.
