HAHA. Games should be played on Astroturf. And you can tackle people. You only get 4 passes. You can bring your pets.

I watched the 'tackle' he supposedly did today (youtube headlines) and saw nothing wrong with it.

IMO hes being used by the league to usher in an even more finesse/whiny version of whats already a watered down product from the golden era.

I mean wasnt rodmans play deemed "passionate and physical" by his contemporaries anyway? NBA players make too much money to be whining about draymond playing "aggressively".

No one cared about bruce bowen stepping under shooters though


He's being used by the league. GTFOH. Keepin the black man down. Care to explain? Or am I getting duped not getting paid by the NBA by calling out Dray?

I always have the same bewilderment that opposing players never do anything. If opposing teams got into Steph and Klay every time, egged Draymond on, and then beat him down in "self defense" he would stop, and the Warriors in general would stop. Nobody can actually handle 82 games of people bullying you because you put a target on your back. This style never works in hockey or football because all the opposing teams start gunning for that team, the coaches that preach that style then end up getting fired within a season or two.

No. I'm not. Drunk that is.
But you want to double down on Draymond Green. My goodness. The guy that has benefitted the most, by a very, very wide margin from yelling and screaming at referees on EVERY play with little to no accountability, then being the dirtiest player in the NBA for more than a decade with little to no accountability, is all of a sudden, being "used by the league"
GTFOH. That's ridiculous. If you want to say his horrific behavior is now starting to haunt him, sure, but he is being "used" by the NBA? HAHA WTAF.

Its just the way it is in the Disney era of ESPN.

He joins a long list of players being used to emasculate the NBA.

Surely, violence against Draymond is the only solution to make him stop. He’ll quit being violent permanently!

A lot of the posters in this thread are more unhinged than Dray.

There used to be enforcers in the NBA. They would have retaliated against Green and maybe that would keep him in check.

The problem with green is he’s made a career of being a fake tough guy in the softest era ever. He would be bullied and smacked around in any real mens league of the past

Soft league backed by soft rules, when a former mvp player gets ejected for looking at an opponent for a split second after a dunk, there's something wrong.

Remember Shawn Kemp dunk and pointed on player on the floor?

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.



WTF is that :lol:

At this point Draymond is intentionally trying to see what he can get away with.

This is ridiculous.

The issue is that if there is retaliation then suspensions happen. All the players know it.

One of those things is that it doesn't matter who starts what, whoever retaliates will always get hit with a harsh punishment.

definitely not the dirtiest thing draymond's done but i'm not sure how one of the refs thought that was a jump ball over a flagrant foul... in what world is bear hugging someone from behind to try to steal the ball a basketball play? and then throwing them to the ground after?

it's a real shame when you watch very smart bball players (green, cp3, lowry, etc.) and they resort to antics. flopping is lame but harmless, green's antics are aggressive.
