Draymond is who he always has been, but the Warriors aren't as charming because they aren't constantly winning, we get less Steph fun clips, Klay's dopey act isn't as fun when he's older slower and not shooting lights out...but this is the same guy who spent the prime years of a dynasty nut kicking people.
When are they going to stop letting this guy get away with stuff like that?
Seriously...what the hell was that punch?

Not to be overly dramatic but a 250 pound man swinging an arm in a club like fashion like that could actually kill someone if the blow lands the right way.
he's the guy at the Y that was never really athletic to begin with, but who has now lost any ability to move quickly, jump at all or be competitive so he prides himself on playing dirty and making everyone else in the gym angry because he thinks it's "his competitive streak and he can't help it".
Agreed. Cowherd (who I barely watch anymore, and his constant defense of Green is a big reason why) after the choke a month ago tried to play it off like, "every bar needs a bouncer," as if Green is just doing this stuff because he is the team's bouncer and it is part of the job, but that is a horrible way to look at it.
hard fouls are one thing. jumping in to get between your teammate and an opponent is a thing, but flailing your arms and legs to kick/punch, in an obvious temper tantrum, thinking you can say "it was an accident" or that you didn't do anything wrong is something a child does.
Yeah. It was a horrifying act and Draymonds “acting” was almost more horrifying. The way he acted like he was massively tangled in order to kinda wind up his arms to build more momentum for the strike was disturbing for me to watch. The league needs to come down hard imo. The dude is legitimately trying to seriously try to injure other players while trying to act and make it look like a basketball play. Thats potentially a huge liability for the league- because at this point- if he does really injure someone badly- its quite obvious that the argument could be made that the league saw it coming and failed in preventing it.
This is being way overdramatic, FYI
Ever heard of Rudy Tomjanovich?
Believe the English hockey player got charged recently after his high skate got the other player’s throat
If you boxed somebody out on the street you could be charged. or if you checked someone into a storefront. Or tackled them in a park. Trying to equate what happens in a sporting event to real life is foolish
Yes. And he is still alive today
After suffering “life-threatening head and spinal injuries.”
Yes, and he fully recovered.
Yes. And the fact that they were “life threatening” confirms that someone could, in fact, be killed with such a punch.
You seriously have never read any news stories about someone dying from a punch or subsequently hitting their head on the ground after a blow?
This is not really directed at you, but in general, I am tired of hearing what a great basketball IQ he has, what a high character person he is, and what a great teammate he is. It's all a crock of you-know-what. You know who great teammates are? Ones who are there when you need them and aren't getting themselves suspended all the time. I chuckle too at Kerr saying he knows better, when clearly he doesn't. That is why the NBA needs to lay down the hammer super hard because previous discipline hasn't worked (and I am not sure that any more will). He needs to be removed from the league for a while for the safety of other players.
i'd say objectively he understands basketball very well. spacing, rotations, court vision, etc.
What Draymond says when a euro big bumps him on a box out.
I very much agree with that. I have a feeling that what I’d want him to get versus what he actually gets will involve a pretty big disparity. I want him to get 20-25 games—but my guess is that the league will give him 5 or 10 games. I think that the players union could come into play in regards to an appeal if they think that the league is too severe. What a weird spot for the players union to be in. The league coming down hard on Draymond would arguably be to protect the other players on the court from his antics—but at the same time—the players union also wants to protect the financial rights of an individual player from overly severe punishments.
Steph is probably the only GSW star with positive trade value. From a cold and emotionless team-building perspective, it would probably make sense to trade him, but I doubt that ever happens. He’ll likely get the Dirk/Kobe treatment, allowed to stay around for as long as he’d like—even when his game is in steep decline.
