Game 2 between the Warriors and Rockets brought chaos, controversy—and now, some classic Dillon Brooks drama. After Jimmy Butler suffered a painful pelvic contusion in a collision involving Amen Thompson and Draymond Green, the incident immediately raised eyebrows across the league.
While some questioned if Thompson had acted recklessly, Dillon Brooks flipped the blame back toward Draymond, saying, “I think the dirty player is Draymond, giving him a little push… We hope Jimmy can get better.” That jab didn’t go unnoticed. Warriors swingman Moses Moody couldn’t help but chuckle, calling Brooks’ comments “a little ironic,” referencing Brooks’ own reputation.
The moment sparked intense reaction from fans and media alike. But Stephen Curry made his stance crystal clear. Posting on Instagram, he backed his longtime teammate with a photo of Draymond and the caption, “Definitely my DPOY.”
Coaches from both sides, Steve Kerr and Ime Udoka, tried to cool the fire, agreeing it was an unfortunate but accidental play. Video replays seem to support that view, showing Draymond boxing out as Thompson lost balance mid-air.
Still, with tempers rising and the series heating up, don’t expect this drama to cool off anytime soon.
