Welcome back NBA fanatics! This week, we've got more juicy stuff to talk about as always. Currently, in the league, a lot of drama has been going on, interesting events, and more. First I would like to bring up a question that probably everyone, including the bandwagon fans, are bringing up. That question is, "What is going on with the Golden State Warriors?". Lately, the team has not been performing the way they are expected to be, and there has also been some conflict between teammates as well. The Warriors have been blowing games, and on top of that, they are on a 3-game losing streak, causing them to drop from the #1 seed to the #2 seed. Despite having injured players, the team should still not be losing this often, it is even rare for the team to lose twice in a row or even at all. There may be a cause of this terrible performance by Golden State, and that leads to me talking about the drama between Kevin Durant and Draymond "Donkey" Green.
A recent argument between Draymond Green (Left) and Kevin Durant (Right) (Warriors @ Clippers Nov, 12)
Just recently, while going against my favourite team, the LA Clippers, the Draymond the snake and Kevin the donkey got into a serious argument on the bench after the Draymond turned the ball over in the final seconds of the 4th quarter, instead of passing the ball to Kevin Durant or a wide-open player. though evidence showed that Draymond was trying to pass toward the very last seconds, the ball got stripped from his hands, and the Warriors did not even have a chance to make an attempt at a game-winning basket. The game went into overtime and between the end of the 4th quarter and overtime, the argument on the bench occurred. In the argument, Draymond stated bold words to Durant, saying the team is better off without Durant and mentioning how the Warriors won without him. Draymond went further on and called Durant a b**ch. This is not the first time that the 2 players went at each other, they have had 2 or 3 big arguments before this. There is so much to this story and this conflict. Even former Warrior, David West, tweeted out that the media or the fans "have no idea what went down". The team did not want anyone to know, so they questioned why he tweeted that. But as said earlier, there is a lot to this story and why this conflict could possibly ruin the Warriors' dynasty. Kevin Durant alone might be ruining the Warriors' dynasty. There is a video on youtube that goes more in depth about this topic. You may want to check it out after reading this.
Another interesting event that occurred recently is that Carmelo Anthony was said to no longer be a part of the Houston Rockets. Many reporters and fans state that Carmelo should go to the Lakers, but it does not seem like the GM of the Lakers, in other words, Lebron James, is not interested in signing Carmelo. Not even my team wants him. Carmelo is claimed as an "unattractive signing" in this season. It is honestly very sad to see Carmelo's career go down this path. The former all-star has never even won a championship ring yet, and as of now, he is getting pushed around and all over the place with different teams. It is not clear yet of where he will be residing, but no team seems too interested.
As for my favourite team, the Los Angelos Clippers, I feel that we are seriously doing better than expected, and we remain an underrated team this season. Sure, barely any NBA fan knows a single player on this team, but that's where we come underrated. Many may say that our star player, Lou Williams is carrying the team and finishing off games for us, but he really does have help. We have Danilo Gallinari, Tobias Haris, Boban Marjanovic, and even our rookie player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing extremely well and is on the starting lineup. Our team surprisingly put the Warriors and Bucks to sleep, when nobody expected that we were going to. I am excited to see where my team ends up this season.
This season had many unexpected events and turnarounds. We are even seeing Boston at #5, Houston at #10, my Clippers actually doing something good, the Warriors not playing right, big trades, and more. We will see how the warriors get their crap together, where Carmelo Anthony will go, and further unanswered questions.
