If Warriors fans begin staying away from a team that is severely lacking, it would be understandable.
Especially if some Warriors begin playing as if they don’t want to be there, either.
In a game that was already decided — and had been nearly from the tip — D’Angelo Russell got himself tossed while down 32 points in Oklahoma City on Sunday, the frustration racking up when points wouldn’t.
Russell, the biggest offseason addition for the previously perennial title favorites, drove through the lane midway through the third quarter and got bumped by Chris Paul. The Golden State guard bounced off Paul and finished lefty from the right side without a call with 7:13 left, but as soon as he hit the ground he got into the face of official James Williams, and after the first technical, Russell just kept barking until he got the second to knock him out.
As he left a game that was then 79-47 Thunder, Russell was 3-for-10 with six points and two assists in 22 minutes.
