Re: Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy
The whole series was chippy but clearly Chicago was at a different level. Some call it cheapshots, some call it playoff experience. The Bucks were too young to overcome it but I'm sure they'll come back next year swinging.
The Bulls won't be able to bully their way through the Cavs though.

This just shows how immature Giannis is as well as his mental weakness. There are ways to get back at someone, and this was one of the least intelligent ways to do it.
Sorry, that's not the game Dunleavy signed up to play. "Okay, I'm gonna take a few cheap shots at your throat, PLZ don't do anything too bad in response." He fully deserved to get his ass knocked to the ground, as well as whatever else might have come to him as a result of wanting the other team to do it.

Am I the only one who think's Dunleavy's face/throat punch was worse than Giannis' body check?

It was a lot worse. Giannis had a reason to be upset, and he clearly had no intent to injure.
Dunleavy's punch was unprovoked, hitting a guy completely unable to protect himself, with clear intent to injure. Dunleavy shouldn't play in the playoffs again.

Best comparison I can think of:

Giannis took the bait but it didn't matter any more. Dunleavy still ended up on his ass

Re: Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy
The Bucks were playing physical/dirty the whole series. And that "punch" on Dun IMO is just a push with his fist closed, thats not even close to JR's back hand. Bucks fan should just go home and shut up about their lost season...

Im a Bulls dan and even I think Dunleavy got what he deserved. His punch was absolutely a much worse act than Giannis's shoulder block. I didnt have much problem with Dunleavy's play but thats cuz im a homer Bulls fan. The play was definitely dirty. Giannis's play wasnt as dirty but it was much stupider...If you wanna get dunleavy back you have to do it in the flow of the game.
Lastly MCWs puch wasnt unwarranted. MCW and MDL have been jaw jacking with each other all series. Im sure someone questioned someones manhood and thats why it got to that level.
OJ Mayo was the dumbest of them all though. Dont know what he wad thinking

From earlier this season Dunleavy making no play at all on the ball with Lillard in the air:

Aaron Brooks is feisty.
Also, not really sure why people call Dunleavy soft. I see cheap in him, but not really soft.

Re: Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy
Dunleavy definitely has to be suspended one game

Am I the only one that sees no problem with this? Mike Dunleavy's push deserves a suspension, but everything else is in the heat of the moment. It's playoff basketball

Bruh if Mike Dunleavy said that to me, I would try to end his career every-time I see him.

This. Guys even have a rep for doing stuff like that and don't get punished. Bogut is another culprit. Ref never sees his dirty stuff

Re: Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy
Kinda funny people talking about "playoff" basketball. Cheap shots are not playoffs basketball. Setting hard screens, body checking, stopping people from laying up with strong arm fouls, anticipating screens and going hard to the screener as a counter-measure, going hard for a rebound and swinging your arms to clear out anyone that tries to take that ball away from, etc, are what we call "playoff basketball."
What Perkins did in the last game against the celts was playoff basketball. Then he stood up to his 'victim' and stared him down. What Jr. did was simply a cheap/cowardly shot that could and did cause a serious injury.
Those gifs are only showing cheap shots by a coward named Dunleavy. He's doing this on purpose so newcomers would explicitly react to his cheap shots and then take them out of game. Too bad those guys don't know how to retaliate without getting ejected.
NBA should be reviewing those cheap shots, because it may end up with a brawl in the middle of a close series and they'll be forced to suspend multiple players, hurting its' own business.
Anyways, One day Dunleavy will find what he's looking for.

Re: Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy
So Perkins punching crowder in the face while no ball is in play is fine but if Dunleavy does it while the ball is in play he should get a suspension? Makes sense. Perkins didn't even try to make it look like an accident. I honestly believe Dunleavy was trying to push/punch him in the chest area but got him in the face instead. He wasn't even looking when he did it.

Wish Greek Freak hit him hard enough to break a rib. Dunleavy deserves nothing less then getting run over by a truck.

What about DeRozan dawg?!?!

Perkins didn't punch anyone. Stop making things up.

Perkins did extend his arms with the screen, but I think he's referring to the B1tch slap he threw when being separated....both guys are douchebags.
