The Warriors are bumping players that come through the lane. They are (trying to) holding their grown when being posted. They are swiping at the ball when people drive. They are committing the smart, hard fouls and making teams earn it at the line.

It’s like there is a general message they’re trying to put out there.

They will scratch and claw. They will talk trash and throw elbows. When you get to the paint, they’ll try to chop off your hand and hope you cough up the ball and the ref doesn’t call it.

JARRETT JACK: “We’re a grimy team now. That’s the style we’re going for.. You’re going to have to work against us.”
