Who was at fault on this Butler injury?

I dont think you can blame one person.
Its not like Amen launches himself into Jimmys legs.Amen loses balance after he trips himself after hes pushed from behind

Yup, no one is at fault, yeah Green bumped him but like... He's just trying to get a box. Yes Thompson came flying in, but he was trying to get a board and got tripped up between Green and Adams

This is 100% on Thompson. Green was actually trying to hold him back if anything so Butler could get the rebound, Thompson just went for it and took out his legs

Only question remains is if Thompson will be suspended.

Are you blind? Why are you leaving out the part where Amen lost balance and fell over? You're making it sound like Amen just ran through Butler on purpose.

Some of you posters cant help yourselves in misinforming. The video evidence is literally right in front of you and you're just rejecting it.

Okay, so there really are people who think Thompson was intentionally trying to hurt Butler by throwing his face at his torso. Like…that’s a thing. Watch the vid fbf, when they make contact his head/neck are bent so far back he’d 100% have been in the protocol if this were the NFL. And people think that was his intention?

Dremond would not do that. Bruce Bowen is the dirtiest MF I ever saw, and if you tried to tell me he tried to hurt someone by diving face first/only into his body at high speed I’d look at you funny. You think he could do that w/o automatically raising his arms to protect his face? Trying to hurt someone, and leading with his eyeballs/nose/teeth? That’s not dirty, that’s absolutely ape ****.

Absolute proof and people still say Green.

Disgusting.

Thompson was reckless.

I'm surprised there is so much controversy. This was a clear accident, Thompson did not make a dirty play and everyone was doing normal jockeying for position on a rebound. Sometimes unlucky stuff just happens.

It just sucks that this may end the Warrior season.

Think it was just an accident, but if you had to blame anyone, it’s Draymond.

Wasn’t like his normal antics, just physical playoff basketball I think, however, I think someone could make a case he intentionally tripped Thompson. I’m not sure I’d buy it, and I don’t think Green deserves any benefit of the doubt, but I just don’t think this was it this time.

Why did amen bring his arm up and then Push through jimmys legs? Amen the super elite athlete just lost control of his body? He didn’t even try to avoid him but instead searched for contact and continued moving forward through contact. That’s dirty af

Amen was reckless in his attempt to grab his own rebound.... but it was a freak accident. Amen tried to squeeze through Adams and Green but did not have proper footing, literally just shoving his body inbetween them with no footing. Then Adams hip pushes Amen and Amen further trips on Green's leg and Butler is there. Freak accident, but caused by Amen Thompson for being reckless in the paint.

Thompson has no business trying to squeeze through without proper footing under him. Because this is what happens, you lose your footing and trip on the floor and become an injury danger to other players.

You really think he’d go face first into an opponent’s hip at pretty high speed to try and hurt him?

He’s not the Joker. (movie version, not NBA, to be clear.)

Podziemski pushed Adams into Thompson causing him to trip over Greens leg and fall into Butler. The replay is pretty clear. The "fault" is 33% BP, 33% SA 33% DG, .5% AT and .5% JB.

Na, you right, Draymond is a gentleman that would never attempt to hurt someone.

Wtf? You think I’m saying he wouldn’t do it out of etiquette?!?! I have clearly been saying he wouldn’t do it because he’s sentient, and sentient humans don’t use their faces when trying to attack large humans at high speed. Self-preservation. Nothing w/e to do with his being a good sport. Again, IF Thompson did that, he’s not dirty, he’s certifiable.

I find it hard to draw a conclusion beyond reasonable doubt, but since Draymond is involved I'm just going to say he was the one at fault.

Freak accident.

Amen was going for rebound, Draymond boxed aggressively and probably fouled Amen. Draymond did the right basketball play though, it tripped Amen and he fell in to Butler.

Looks like a standard box out move from Green. Really unfortunate.

If he has a contusion on the tail bone that'll take a couple of weeks at least to heal up to where it's bearable to run and be athletic.

Who is to blame for the Butler injury?
