Let's be real, if a random rookie 2nd round pick had the amount of incidents Draymond has had just this season so far the talk around the NBA would be "should this player be banned for life/do they have a place in the NBA?". And the answer is yes they should be banned.

Load management, Draymond style.

I posted in an other thread, but thats the proper word at this point. He is going to get the NBA sued if they don't do anything. He's going to injure someone and cost them millions in wages.

His production the last few years looks like a 2nd rounder. Warriors had the excuse to cut bait when he sucker punched poole. Now Poole gets to play MyCareer IRL and chum it up with Barry O. Bet his mental health improved not working with that psycho.

The reality of being completely washed has broke Draymond. Suspend him for the year

Bill Romanowski was insane.

what is with Donnavon Mitchell these days? Everything he does seems overexaggerated and every shot is like a jump step, falling sideways jumper. How has he not learned how to use his athleticism in more subtle ways so that shots aren't quite as difficult?

I do not feel good about the Cavs after watching them against Boston tonight, i'll say that.

At some point you just have to be done with the guy

Look I'll prob be called biased, but here goes. The Giannis ejection was BS vs the Pistons but I'm all for the refs clamping down on guys jawing at them so much.

Decisions don't go your way sometimes in sports and I hate when multi-million dollar athletes carry on like pork chops when they don't get a call. I think athletes are given way too much latitude with how much they're allowed to bitch and moan about calls/non-calls. I'd keep tossing guys until they get the memo about getting on with the game instead of complaining about **** all the time.

Jokic is a great players but he's becoming as insufferable as Luka with his constant complaining.

Wanted them on the hook for a huge Klay contract first but this will do.

Also, Nurkic should be allowed one free punch to Adam Silver's nose for all the times Dray has been allowed to believe he was untouchable that has led to this.

Or just make the clear foul call on one of the best players in the game that even the bulls crew called out in real time?

There's a difference between consistently calling Ts and setting a tone of not yelling at the refs (especially when you stay back to do it while the play is going down the court) and immediately calling 2 Ts on a guy (or in this case a superstar) randomly. Emotion is fine. Running towards the ref swearing at them isn't.

ETA: Consistency hitting people in the head, neck and balls is not fine. I didn't think I needed to clarify that, but Silver doesn't seem to care.

Draymond should be banned for entire season IMO. This 2023/24 season should be over for him. We will see.

rilamann · Post #1916 » by **rilamann** » Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:24 am

I don't know which is the bigger meme at this point, Draymond Green himself or the league's lack of discipline when it comes to Draymond Green.

The league will probably give Nurkić a longer suspension than Green for upsetting Green.

:lol:

That needs to be at least 25 games. I wouldn't have any issue with a longer ban. It is insane what he's been allowed to get away with during his career.

Jokic has every right to complain. Dude gets brutalized on a nightly basis and often doesn't get the call because he's so huge and under control.

There’s a line between venting frustrations and calling an official a mother **** to their face. I’d probably like to see officials do a better job communicating with players/coaches but it’s also easy to not be a **** towards them when a call goes against you.
