This part especially doesn't look good...
Ben Dowsett is an embarrassment. He doesn't represent Jazz fans

i love this. it's all just trash talk anyway.
yay sports

The amount of butt-hurt by the Warriors players and fans is kind of embarrassing though even if Dowsett was in the wrong.

I wondered why they even took notice, let alone respond. NBAPU should probably tell the players that they will be more marketable if they just shut up. Not many people relate to 20 year old, millionaire victims.
Yeah their calling into question who gets media credentials was pretty dumb. I'd have just ignored one salty writer.

It's also nice of them to attempt to skewer a guy's potential career prospects by siccing the court of public opinion on him over a dumb little tweet.

isnt he just an unpaid blogger anyway? Its not like Tom Brokaw or Peter Jennings got into a tizzy over the Warriors' reactions. Bloggers are usually merely fans with a laminate. I'm not really surprised by his reaction, but i am surprised that he elicited any sort of response from Draymond.

Interesting exchange. I definitely think that Dowsett is in the wrong for tweeting player interactions that are outside of the context of interviews. The lockerroom needs to be a safe place for players to wind down and talk s#!t if they want to.
I disagree that he should get his credentials removed. He is simply brushing up against a professional boundary that he must negotiate as a member of the press.
I think that the Warrior's tweets are far more embarrassing than Dowsett's. For them to even respond to a blogger of Dowsett's reach is beneath players that are supposed to be above such frays because of their stature in the sport. I think their responses betray their embarrassment about what Ben was reporting on, which does communicate a significant level of disrespect for the Jazz. If they wanted to refute him, they would have fared much better by simply ignoring him.

I don't think them calling someone out for potential misrepresenting them is in the wrong. I just thought it was weird Dray called him a coward. IDK if Draymond tried to contact him or something, and Dowsett just ignored.
