From the archives: January 3, 2019. Down two in Cali, #Rockets James Harden hits the game-winning three in OT right in the mugs of Dray and Klay.

Knowing Draymond’s hope to earn DPOTY, I asked if he felt like All-Defensive 2nd Team was a compliment or a slight. Draymond said, “It’s a slight. I think when I look at the first team, I’m not sure I can pinpoint definitely five guys that had a better defensive season than me.” – 5:29 PM Krishna Narsu @knarsu3
KD’s definitely going to be watching the Finals with a Tatum jersey on rooting hard against Steph and the Warriors 😂 – 5:20 PM Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Draymond Green sees Second-Team All-Defensive as a slight. Doesn’t see five guys who were better at defense than him this season – 5:16 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Why won’t they trade for a big man? They’re too small. Why won’t they scour the buyout market? Through the relentless questions, Steve Kerr and Draymond Green didn’t blink. Neither did Kevon Looney. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 4:46 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko

From Kevin Durant’s toe to Max Strus’ heel … – 11:22 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler all played the Celtics with an injury-riddled roster.
Jimmy Butler came closer to beating them than Giannis or KD did.
I don’t know what to make of that, but it’s pretty significant for how we should think of Jimmy. – 11:20 PM Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
The Celtics are the best team left in the playoffs. They’re better than a healthy Miami team and much better than this version limping to the finish line. They took out KD and Giannis but are 24 minutes away from blowing what might be this group’s best chance at a title – 9:59 PM Sopan Deb @SopanDeb
ok seriously it’s an hour long pregame show for a game 7 of the eastern conference and espn has spent the most time on whether KD is better than Curry (because it’s 2018) and the lakers new coach – 8:06 PM Sopan Deb @SopanDeb
looking forward to warriors fans sensibly reacting to this espn discussion on who is better between KD and curry – 8:03 PM Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
Nobody better…. That left is a missle. Stay away. – 12:58 AM Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
