Mo Wagner : a legit Dirty player or not?

[RookieStar]

Ok I wont add a poll cuz i wanna read your reasoning.

So in the GB a few( based on the polls) accused our team of being dirty. Good thing majority are saying we jist play hard but not dirty. However, they also think Moe is the only one that could be considered dirty.


Ill start. I dont think Moe is dirty. He just irritates opponents a lot. Sure that hip check on Hayes was linda dirty but he immediately acknowledged it.

[Last Guardian]

No. Don't see him take cheap shots or elbows on players. He's just annoying as f*ck.

[thelead]

No. He's just a loudmouth

[MasterGMer]

What are they talking about, man? Moe is dirty? I will tell em to shut up in person

[Orlando Dawg]

He’s like Bill Laimbeer but clean.

[pepe1991]

He is not dirty, he is just annoying.
We played one game this year, we were down like 30 points in 4th and he makes layup and starts screaming like he is taking over game 7 of ECF.

[RichCollab]

He plays loud and physical at times. He lost his cool and bump a player going down the court hard out of bounds one time.

I’m not sure I have ever seen Moe use contact with the intention to injury.

Moe will try to inflict mental anguish but that’s different.

DET fans probably had this same thread about Bill and reassured themselves that he’s just “passionate” “Physical” etc

Dirty in bball terms is pretty rare…any physical player gets scrutinized by opposing fans, unless you get to the real extremes like Brooks’ or CP3’s nut shots or Draymond’s chokes or Laimbeer’s antics. Moe is an agitator, not above a little well-placed bump to slow down a faster, springier opponent, but mostly it’s his constant whining that gets under people’s skin…mix in a drawn charge and he’s the one you love to hate.

Moe a dirty player? That's a crazy take. He's physical and passionate and he definitely tries to play mind games with the officials and other teams but he's not out seeking blood or anything like that.

Who was the last "dirty" player the magic had?

This people are idiots. Have them provide specific examples of a dirty play and they won’t find one. He’s just physical and plays hard. We have to understand that opposing teams and their fans get frustrated when they play us because of the physicality. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

Vat?

Annoying AF.... Is accurate!

.... And I love it!

I’m assuming this is in reference to Jarrett Allen’s injury last postseason, but Mo did nothing wrong.

Mo talks ****, that’s it. Nothing dirty about his play.

[Jaxfann]

Moe plays very hard but not dirty!

He has been missed greatly in recent games!

Actually only one poster ( CAVS fan) mentioned that. There are GB posters asking for videos of said incident because they too wants to see it. I as well cuz I havent seen it

[orlando_joe]

no not at all...pretty low bar if i guy with only 1 flag foul and even only 16 tech fouls in 7 yrs is a dirty player...lol
