Game 6 Post Game Thread: Good Job, Good Effort

[engelmartin]

Let's see if Dunleavy tries the same dirty stuff in that Cavs series. If he pulls something like that on Lebron or Kyrie he's suspended for the rest of the year, there's no doubt in my mind.

[Lippo]

Not enough in my opinion. There is no place for that in basketball.

You think he deserves more than 5 games???

Dunleavy was launched into the crowd so basically it is the same thing as the Malice in the Palace...

So pushing a player on the court is equal to 6 players climbing 15 rows into the stands and attacking fans, lol

[FlagsFlyForever]

Woelfel saying the NBA officials he's spoken to expect a minimum of a 5 game suspension for Giannis.

Not enough in my opinion. There is no place for that in basketball.

Oh, really? Just what do you call Dunleavy's crap? As far as I'm concerned, there's no place for the g'damn Bulls in basketball. If that team went defunct and went bye-bye forever, I'd celebrate that. Hard. It's not like the Bears. I can respect their tradition dating back to 1920 and the historic dynamic between Lambeau/Halas, the rivalry that transcends decades, and the fact that both teams bailed each other out of bad financial situations to survive a few times, etc. The Packers and Bears are good for each other, the fans, and the NFL in general. That isn't very debatable.

But the Bulls are the absolute worst. Skin-crawl worst. At least, to this life-long Bucks fan they are. They're the epitome of Chicago's worst type of sports fan - entitled loudmouths, who got lucky that the greatest player ever, fell in their laps. I'm rambling here, but whatever. Back on topic ... Dunleavy's stunts were exactly what I would expect from a player like him, on a team like that. It's that simple.

What do I call Dunleavy's crap? I call it dirty. My opinion of Giannis doesn't have anything to do with Dunleavy. Two wrongs don't make a right. We don't need to justify Giannis' actions by comparing it with Dunleavy's.

When a player stops playing basketball and is clearly trying to hurt somebody, I have no tolerance for that. I am a Bucks fan so I am focused on the Giannis aspect of this.

Well, no offense, man, but we clearly do not see the same thing here. Giannis' actions were brought forth, due to Dunleavy's preceding actions. Period. You obviously don't understand the reality that he was merely defending his teammate. Was it the best move? No. Whatever. I'm giving Giannis a complete, 100% pass on it. This is the 4th or 5th year of his entire life, of playing organized basketball. Hate to break it to you, but that is a part of this equation. Would he do that if he's 28 years old? Not likely. Were you or I a grown, mature adult at 20? No, we were not. So, you need to factor some of that in.

[FlagsFlyForever]

So what would Lambeer, Mahorn, Oakley, Barkley or Shaquille have done if Dunleavy had done that to them and their starting PG in a game 6, they would have body slammed him in the 1st quarter, this league has gotten soft.

They would've played him physically and tried to rough him up during play, not ran over him while he was defenseless after the play was over. If Giannis wants to retaliate, then he needs to do it within the confines of the game and not get fouled (let alone ejected). Once you do something that you're going to get fined for, then you've gone too far.

I hate the "two wrongs don't make a right" mentality here. Sounds like something my kindergarten teacher would've said. If you PUNCH a defenseless player in the face while in MID AIR, knock his teeth out of place, and the refs don't bother to call anything? You're gonna get your ass laid out, rightfully so. They are all grown ups, this is how the real world works. In fact, Greek Freak should've hit him harder.

I was an idiot when I was 20 but I shouldn't expect to be excused for things at that age that I can't get away with now. If his actions were wrong, then it's wrong regardless of his age.

You're wrong to say he was "merely defending his teammate" or he would've pounced on Dunleavy when Dunleavy cheapshotted MCW in the beginning of the game (which, by the way, I think Dunleavy should be suspended for). Giannis lost control of his emotions after he got smacked on the previous play and his team was down 30. That's all there is to it, he lost control of his emotions and tried to hurt Dunleavy. It was malicious and calculated. It was inexcusable.

Okay let me put this another way.

Then why didn't the Bucks retaliate immediately after the MCW hit?


Do you think Giannis runs over Dunleavy if the game is close?

[VooDoo7]

You think he deserves more than 5 games???

Dunleavy was launched into the crowd so basically it is the same thing as the Malice in the Palace...

I think/hope he was being sarcastic.

[VooDoo7]

It was quite telling when none of Dunleavy's teammates ran over to defend him when Giannis knocked him on his ass. Even they think he's a douche.

[JustinCredible]

I can't figure out how to do it on my phone but if someone can just search youtube for 'Dunleavy Lillard' and post that video here that would be great.

Then if the Bulls fans can shut up after watching it that'd be even better.

[JustinCredible]

The biggest difference I see between Dunleavy and Giannis in all of this is that Giannis owns it and will apologize.

Dunleavy said he doesn't recall anything from this game. In the Lillard situation he said he was just trying to stop the clock. When Bayless asked Dunleavy at the free throw line 'what happened before that though?' Dunleavy was about to say some stupid lie and then he sees MCW walk up and he shuts up like a kid about to get caught in a lie. It is quite funny actually.

Dunleavy is flat out a dirty player by design. Giannis made a mistake in a moment of frustration/retaliation. One is calculated and manipulative. The other is reacting and apologetic.

[WindyCityBorn]

To be honest, I was happy to see Giannis tackle Dunleavy who is a historically cheap player.
Giannis wasn't doing much this series anyway.

Dunleavy pulls that crap in the next series, and Perkins will get enough revenge for the both of us.

Chicago has a goon in Nazr. He has already laid Lebron out once.

Because in the punch play, no whistle was blown (ridiculously), and I don't even think anyone besides MCW and Giannis even knew Michael was punched at the time. The anger built up and the neck push on Giannis was his last straw with that punk. And no, I do not predict Giannis would've done that in a close game. He was probably frustrated by getting blown out too.

I don't honestly understand how any buck fan could possibly be mad at Giannis for that.
Dunleavy was lucky he only ended up in the first row and not the fourth.
Would love to see him get smacked in the chops next round.

Yeah as I said earlier the only shame was it wasn't a vet that ironed out Dunleavy. I don't like non basketball stuff happening in games at all but when the refs aren't stopping it you have to fight back.

I'm glad that it was giannis, he doesn't need perception that he can't fight his own battles.
