Draymond…

[shrink]

It’s painfully obvious by now that Draymond is officiated completely differently than the rest of the NBA. Teams themselves will have to protect their players or continue to get punked by him while he’s backed by the higher ups in the league.

It's just so bizarre that he gets special treatment. It's not good for the game. Drama? Sure. But he's abusive to refs and players alike. Why is the league essentially protecting that?

Because Warriors games/Steph are great for TV ratings, even if Draymond is bad for the NBA as a whole.

Well they'd still be great with Steph minus Green, if less effective - except when they are not, or are a distraction.

Not a fan of Draymond at all, but that just looked like an accidental lock up with added flare from Patty.

Dramond loves your trust in his lack of coordination. Appreciated.

He's both uncoordinated but also in a strange way kind of super coordinated when it comes to accidentally kicking people in the nuts. Just lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it.

he's not uncoordinated. he knows when he can get a cheap shot in and so he uses these situations as an opportunity to get away with one. dude has incredible ball skills, can handle very well for a PF, and is a great passing big man. don't tell me he's uncoordinated

But does the NBA even get Steph to the play in if they ban Draymond? They’d certainly prefer GSW advances than HOU.

It’s not Silvers fault, he can’t see all the Draymond crap with his head stuck in Steph’s rectum

4 pages and not one replay in real time?

Patty is sacred to us Aussies.

Draymond is lucky Baynes isn’t in the league anymore.

[TroubleS0me]

Are players scared of him? He needs to get checked and be put in his place.

[holdenwait]

first few miliseconds I thought he was going for a good ol' fashioned sack grab lmao
the rest was just as scummy tho.. and there's a guy saying it's just "fighting for position".. foh with that seriously

At least when Dennis Rodman was being a headcase, he brought you defense and rebounding. Draymond is not a dynamic rebounder and is an overrated defender.

Same with Artest. A major headcase but a more consistent defender. Draymond epitomizes the "jack of all trades, master of none" mantra. His only consistent talent is racking up triple singles.

what part of defense do you find there to be a difference in perception vs reality? post, nail, rim protection, pick and roll coverage, switching, communication, defensive rebounding?

Draymond is such a liar and faker. Look at his suprise face when he was charged a foul.
