In other words, it was all good when it was just a f**k Draymond circle jerk. Lol.

This is why Draymond threads get so contentious. The haters want to be allowed to pile on the slander and hate, no matter how over-the-top and ridiculous, and not get called on it. It's bizarre because I can't think of another player that the haters feel entitled to snipe at without generating a response.

People will remember this play from Draymond, a totally inconsequential play, and continue to bring it up, but does anyone remember when Dillon Brooks took GP2 out midair with a vicious forearm swipe to the head? Has Draymond ever done anything as dangerous or damaging as that play? No. Not even close.

Watch on YouTube

GP2 injured his elbow in the subsequent fall and nearly missed the rest of the play-offs having finally found a significant role on a team after years of being a journeyman bouncing from team to team. The Grizzlies tried to argue minimal contact from Poole in an attempted steal was a deliberate attempt to injure Ja Morant’s knee after GSW complained about the jolt to the head of GP2, hence the ongoing bad blood between the teams.

It's an unnecessary and dirty play by a guy who has not only done that multiple times over, but punched a teammate.

He's a bad person. It's okay to acknowledge that and still root for your team.

Any player, including Draymond, is so much more than what one might see as an NBA fan. As a decades long Warriors fan, I have seen a lot more of Draymond than most NBA fans and I know that he's a good person. Someone that struggles with his strong and intense emotions, something he's acknowledged, but a good person nonetheless. I'm proud to be a Warriors fan, largely because of Draymond, and I've always been proud that Draymond is a Warrior.

Fair. He's a bad person to play with on the court as an opponent because I'm not sure if he's going to do something that might impact my career, my life, and my earnings.

Edey is more Steven Adams without the temper, he would throw his weight around and fight back.

Pretty wild how much weight Edey have lost since his college days. He is pretty dedicated.

Draymond earned that shove

Would love to see and Edey v Dray all out fight. One good hit might end Drays career.

When Edey reacted, all the Warriors got real quiet suddenly. Jenkins needs to turn him loose especially on offensive end.

Hard foul initially is mostly fine, the thumbnail made me think he grabbed him by his neck or something, but then why are you hanging on to the guy after?

Go ahead and kick out his teeth then, keyboard warrior. (No pun intended).

Edey fouls Draymond first with a push in the back to get the board, then Draymond's foul is hard but certainly not a flagrant considering he did hit ball, and especially if we're also just ignoring Edey shoving a guy in the back for a rebound. This was a "It's Draymond" flagrant, earlier in the game Kuminga took a blow to the head from an elbow and they didn't even review it. It was a physical game.

Then the officials really went off the rails giving a tech to Draymond after he hit a 3 (he yelled "Boom"), then a silly tech on Dennis later. Some really light stuff, but made the win all the more enjoyable. In my opinion if the officials want to keep things tidy they need to call Edey's push in the back.

Seems like he was initially just wrapping him up, but you know Draymond will hold on that extra moment to mess with someone.

Don’t have to be fast if one hit lands.

If he had done that he would be my favourite player.

Would love to see Edey just launch into a rock and roll express drop kick to the head of Draymond.

I respect that Draymond is a bully. Most bully’s meet a bigger or meaner bully one day.

Are you talking about Brooks? No one ever missed a game due to injury from Dray, in all the years he has played.

But haters gonna hate.
