Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy

[My Main Man]

Regular season: RealGM constantly complaining about the league being too soft in the last few years.

Playoffs: RealGM has multi-page discussion trying to figure out how long every player that commits a hard foul should be suspended.

Just to be clear: You're okay with guys hitting other guys in the throat when they are shooting a jumper? Because I've been on the playground when that meant fist-a-cuffs - and we weren't pussies.

I'm seriously probably the least "bro" type person on this board but if someone hits someone in their throat when they are shooting, I'm a-okay with someone from the other team knocking him on his ass later on. Imagine if hockey players were suspended every time they fought or had a hit that was a little too hard.

Dunleavy got away with atleast 6 dirty hits in this series..

and there my friends lies the difference. Dunleavy got in his head and worked.

As much as I like physical play in the playoffs, I don't believe in "playoff's dirty." Dirty is dirty. I'm not a Cavs' fan who thought JR shouldn't have been suspended. He should have. If you make a dirty play, you should pay the piper.

Ya but you do understand the difference of a play that get you kicked out and a play that are just playoff fouls.

I think Zaza gave Mirotic a elbow to the head at one point, the refs didnt eject him because they know thats just how the game is played. Like it or not its fact. Im sure there are more examples of Bulls and Bucks players with type of shots.

I dont start threads, i just comment on them.

For sure, playoffs basketball is more physical, but heads shots cannot be counted as playoffs basketball. Not in today's league. ANY head shots should be called a flagrant foul. Mike got away with atleast 2 flagrant 1 and 1 flagrant 2.

I asked you to make a poll to prove that wasn't a "playoff foul" and me being a Miami fan had nothing to do with that conclusion. It was dirty and intentional. Had you actually made a poll, you would have seen the GB's opinion line up with that.

I fully expect a suspension, and Mike is very lucky he didn't get thrown out.

Zaza got ejected in game 2 for the elbow. If it happened in another game, then the refs missed it. Again, ANY neck and above hits are almost always flagrant 1's. Playoffs or not. Refs have an excuse for missing one call. Not three obvious ones.

He got ejected due to it being his second technical and that's not the play I was referring to.

If I were Giannis I would've bitch slapped Dungleavy instead because Dungina is a little punk bitch who deserves to be slapped. Plus he talked crap about Warriors fans who rightfully expressed their feelings about his crappy play when he was with Warriors

Then the refs missed it. Using that as your basis for "playoff fouls" is not warranted. Any hit to the head is a flagrant 1.This is further evidenced by Chalmers hit on Noah. Refs missed it? Called a flagrant foul later. Which is what you conveniently ignored while replying to me.

Mike can be called for a flagrant on multiple plays today. 3 with conviction. Two flagrant 1's and one flagrant 2. If he isn't suspended, I will be very surprised.

[CablexDeadpool]

Mike Dunleavy deserved it.

I won't speak for Bucks fans, but there are three officials on the court and that was in the first minute of the game. There was no foul called. There was no review. Which is why the entire the-officials-get-paid-to-maintain-control mantra is BS in the playoffs. At least in the East.

[jc23]

The real problem is with officiating.

They're letting things get out of control. They're also wildly inconsistent. At one end they don't see what Dunleavy's doing and then they have to take action after the retaliation.

Jae Crowder got fouled repeatedly before J.R. Smith eventually clocked him. Crowder was all over Smith's back, but it was the officials who let the Cavs hit Crowder numerous times after they retaliated for what happened to Kevin Love.

Officials have to be quicker to call cheap shots. Regardless of who is doing it.

Players set the tone and it's the refs job to make sure things don't get out of hand.

[Fresh360Waves]

It was retaliation it happens. We see it in baseball ALL the time. Doesn't make it right, but it is what it is.

Dunleavy out there acting like a thug.

Let's apply the Olynyk rule: 1 game suspension, I'm sure he didn't mean it.

[nfmos]

As a long time Warrior fan, I can honestly say it felt good seeing Dunleavy leveled. I'm glad he wasn't hurt, but he is the master at pulling the wool over people's eyes, in this case the refs. I have never hated any player on any of my favorite sports teams as much as I hated him.

Dunleavey got him in the face, he looked for a call, didn't get it and dished out his own justice.

And that's fine and dandy, but it's these types of acts that get you branded as a bonehead in this league. If you want to get him back, run over him on a screen when you get the opportunity, wait for him to come into the lane, don't just charge at him like a lunatic.

I love the fight that Giannis brings, and from all the Bucks, but they showed their immaturity tonight. They let one single player on the Bulls team get into multiple players heads in the Bucks, and if you're going to let that happen, you've already lost and that they did.

Dunleavy is always in the middle of crap like this. At a certain point, it becomes a pattern:

I see you, Mike.

Wow, how has this dirty sack of **** been under the radar for so long

I mean, it worked didn't it? He was the biggest reason the Bucks lost tonight. He completely got in their head, and they were unable to shake it.

I totally forgot about this beef. Here is the story behind it:

Everything you need to know about the DeMarcus Cousins-Mike Dunleavy feud

Actually, I was cool about it because I really didn't know if he did it on purpose. And that's what I asked him, I was like ‘Was that on purpose?' and his response was ‘What if it was? What you gon' do about it?'. And that's what, you know, kind of got me

Some people just can't accept his greatness. It comes in many forms.

[HomoSapien]

Bucks center Zaza Pachulia said Dunleavy has a way of "getting under the skin" of Bucks youngsters such as Carter-Williams.

"He picked the young guys," Pachulia said. "He picked the right guys. Unfortunately, our guys responded."

Any player in the league can "get in player's heads" when they're allowed to make grade A punk plays and get it away with it multiple times. You're giving him way too much credit.
