You are entitled to the treatment and consideration that your behavior in the past has earned for you. There are no blank slates in life. Draymond should/could be thrown out of a game for anything at any time and he deserves it.
That take makes it seems like dray beats his wife or is a felon or whatever. Does he have impulse control issues? Sure.
On the other hand:
Jokic put one of the morris twins in the hospital with whiplash and an injured neck. Bobby portis broke a dude's face. Gobert got into a fight with a teammate during the last game of the season as they were fighting for seeding, ON THE BENCH, DURING A GAME. Kyrie is an anti-semite. Miles Bridges beats his children's mother, on tape, and then throws a brick through her car window with the kids inside. Ja assaults a teenager, a mall security guard, flashes guns multiple times and has his boys threaten opposing players. Bryn Forbes was arrested last month for strangulation of a family member. We got coaches who beat their wives (Kidd) or got group sexual assault (gang r#pe) charges brought against them (Chauncey). Hell, on this team last year, we had a dude that was named in a lawsuit as an alleged rapist. Chuck, who's out here hating on the dubs and talking about Dray needs help, was holding Bird's arms from behind as Dr. J was pounding away.
This isn't 'whataboutism.' This is the league making Dray to be dr. doom when, in reality, they have actual felons playing like it's all gravy.
All this holier than thou crap is just that.. crap.
If you want to bring up past behavior, it's the refs that have allowed dray to yell and scream and gesticulate without giving him a second tech for the last decade. Last night is when it changed? Did they send a memo or just started calling thing differently?
