Pelicans fan behind Warriors bench attempts playful head games NEW ORLEANS — Chris Trew wears over-sized glasses that cover just about every part of his face that isn’t obscured by a bushy brown beard. Sitting behind the opponent’s bench during New Orleans home games, Trew tries to make players’ minds stray from the game and often does so by drawing on his background as a standup and improv comedian. Trew said the Warriors are one of the top teams at joining in with his playful banter, and it was never more evident than when the team was at the Smoothie King Center earlier this month. Green later hit Trew with a flexed muscle taunt and an usher told Trew not to go after Green, that it only improved his play. [...] Trew turned his attention to Andre Iguodala. Because of a deep respect for the game and its players, Trew is very careful to never be offensive or obnoxious. The Warriors’ swingman stared at Trew for at least 15 seconds, before cracking a slight smile. During the Pelicans’ third-quarter run, Trew went to one of his favorite taunts: assisting the opposing coach in calling a timeout. Trew does live comedy every week at NOLA Comedy, travels quite a bit for other shows and does a podcast called, “Trew 2 the Game.” Most players understand Trew isn’t making personal attacks, but Indiana’s Roy Hibbert cursed at Trew and his mother.

Denver Post, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 10:07 PM
Michael Malone didn’t just shorten his bench. He strangled it. Christian Braun played a valiant 20 minutes in that scarring, jarring Game 7, much of it spent badgering the heck outta Anthony Edwards. After that, though, the alms dwindled. Justin Holiday got nine minutes for the Nuggets; Reggie Jackson, five. The Timberwolves, meanwhile, received 22 minutes and 11 points from Naz Reid, a stretch-4-type post who gave Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic more real estate to defend.

Denver Post, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 08:28 PM
In the NBA arguably more than any other American sports league, the playoffs have a tendency to consume any relevant regular-season context about a team or an individual. That reality has worked to Jamal Murray’s advantage over the last five years of Nuggets runs. It’s working to Michael Porter Jr.’s disadvantage this time. Porter chose to wear the blame Sunday night for Denver’s early exit from the playoffs after Game 7 against the Timberwolves.
