On the Warriors podcast with Jerry F:
#1 Jerry talk about how things got out of hand early and quick in the first quarter on Tuesday night at Chase Center between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors starting with the Timberwolves Jordan McDaniels grabbed the shirt of the Warriors Klay Thompson that just simply started bedlam.
#2 Then there was the Warriors guard Draymond Green who put the Timberwolves Rudy Gobert in a headlock as Gobert was trying to play peacemaker and pull the players apart. Realizing this Green was the one who got tossed out of the game and there was talk that he could face a suspension.
#3 Warriors head coach Steve Kerr now was without Green and Thompson who both were tossed. Green for putting Gobert in a headlock and Thompson for fighting with McDaniels. McDaniels also got tossed as well. Kerr revamped the line up with rookie Brandin Podziemski as the shooting guard.
#4 The Warriors and Timberwolves had seen each other on Sunday night at Chase Center and got together again on Tuesday night. Do you suppose there was some bad blood leading into the second game on Tuesday that precipitated these fights overlapping from Sunday’s game?
#5 The Warriors play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night at the Chase Center. The game will start at 7 p.m. The Warriors would like to put the memory of they’re in season game with the Timberwolves behind them soon enough.
