Draymond must be stopped! 

Post#1 » by JustBuzzin » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:54 am

Fresh off a suspension, Draymond Green decides to German suplex Terrance Mann. :o

The NBA needs to get this dude some anger management classes. He clearly gives no fugs at this point. The only reason this isn't a big deal is because the Clippers didn't react. If they reacted this would have been yet another chaos scene caused by Draymond Green.

I'd slap the **** out of that man the first chance I get but I don't see anything wrong with this play. First off, I don't think you know what a german suplex is. Second and more importantly, Green is very gentle with him and even helps him up after the play. Very clear Green has no malicious intentions.

League isn’t going to do anything to stop it. It’s up to the players. Someone needs to knock him down, stand over him and embarrass him. Then do it again if he doesn’t get the message. Not injure…but put some pain and humiliation into the equation.

This was no jump ball, the refs are clearly blind.

Edit: I stand corrected, apparently that is Mike Fratello, not the Warriors announcer. Insane that someone that experienced doesn't understand the rule either, but worth correcting.
Spoiler:
The Warriors' announcer is insufferable. Legitimately a schmuck, the player doesn't have possession if wrapped-up.


That aside, while I think it was a bit excessive at the end, this seems somewhat alright. It is the responsibility of the referee to call a jump ball or foul earlier into the play.

Too late. The league decided years ago to give Draymond the ultimate leeway and benefit of the doubt as part of the moving screen and complaint circus that was the dubs (a team that talented would have adjusted and been successful either way). There's no way they can change those habits now.

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

I was being sarcastic, but he literally tackled him to the ground.

Draymond is a joke. He needs someone to punch him in the face. This nonsense is getting old. The NBA legit fears this dude for whatever reason.

Yup. He is quite literally the single biggest homer (and I don't mean that in a complimentary way) among all commentators in the league.

He grabbed the ball and held it, no call, Mann traveled seeking help, no call, as Mann spun Draymond took his free hand to grab the ball and took him and the ball to the ground.

Foul and jump ball was called. Foul was upheld. He didn't complain.

What's the problem?

Problem is that move belongs in a different sport…football. It’s a tackle, not a basketball play.

Fitz sucks sooooo much. He may be the biggest homer in the entire league, and the former one (Barnett) was actually worse somehow.

The fact that they are in actual contention for biggest homer announcers in the league, if you’ve ever heard a Raptors or Celtics game, is insane, and yet they manage to be the most insufferable guys out there.

Even when the play is broken down, bias still dominates doesn’t it? I don’t blame you. He’s been doing worse things within the past decade. So i understand why people are tired of it.

I don't see a big deal, maybe a foul, flagrant, or T took place there... but nothing extreme, ejection worthy, or suspension worthy.

This is what a real "this guy must be stopped" type of play looks like IMO

You softies would've self deleted if you saw and had a forum to post your complaints about the antics Rodman etc pulled the way you do with Draymond.

You should be questioning why the players aren't doing something about his antics if it's a concern.
