I'm guessing you can read Paschall's lips.

That's leadership from the rookie.

Lee drew criticism from fans and internet trolls Thursday when he missed two late free throws against the Raptors that would have cut the deficit to one. He then missed a wide-open 3-pointer and committed a clear-path foul that sealed the loss for the Dubs.

Paschall sent a shot across the bow of the trolls after the loss to the Raptors.

"People over here slandering @Dami0nLee but my man played a hell of a game!" Paschall wrote. "Some of y’all don’t understand this man's journey!"

Lee rewarded the rookie's faith in him Saturday in another example of how the young Warriors are growing during this lost season.

Despite the down season, the young Warriors have developed great camaraderie and the emergence of Paschall, Lee, Jordan Poole and Marquese Chriss has been a silver lining and portends well for a quick return to the top of the NBA.
