By livefromkyoto Go To PostCup your hand to your ear.
Listen, very carefully.
Can you hear it? That's the sound of nobody in the world buying the bullshit you're selling. Stay sobbing, broheem.
By blackace Go To Postrofl at the Green hate
Draymond is better off getting suspended a couple of times in the regular season for this. Kobe was suspended over his flailing and he stopped doing it.
By vic Go To PostTrue Love
it took me a bit to realize that was actually the cake and not a roundabout way of throwing shade at Minnesota fans using OKC as an example of what's coming for them.
By vic Go To Post
Come on now. Old school players didn't run around punting each other in the face/balls back in the 80s, and then literally whining about how you need a kinesiology degree to know that's not just the way God intended him to be, natural and free. Green's a hell of a defender but really, at this point screw that guy. He's being ridiculous.
What? Plenty of teams in the 80s were full on mauling each other. Dudes like Lambeer straight up decking dudes whenever, where ever and being all "this is the game yo."
By Tea Go To PostWhat? Plenty of teams in the 80s were full on mauling each other. Dudes like Lambeer straight up decking dudes whenever, where ever and being all "this is the game yo."I think kyo meant that back then, players didn't make bullshit excuses about hitting eachother like Draymond's doing rn. Different times, still.
At this point, does someone needs to retaliate once kicked by Draymond for him to stop this shit?
By vic Go To PostI think kyo meant that back then, players didn't make bullshit excuses about hitting eachother like Draymond's doing rn. Different times, still.Pretty sure some of them did since that kind of "who me?" bullshit isn't a new thing, especially from dudes who want to appear clean, but whatever.
there's playing physical that turns into heated moments
and then there's moments where someone is randomly kicking people.
If draymond played in the 80s or 90's, he'd get decked a lot and he'd learn to quit that shit eventually

By Kabro Go To Postthere's playing physical that turns into heated momentsNot all of it was even heated moments. Just dudes playing dirty when they could but acting like it never happened. Dray forgot people can pause, replay and twitter his nonsense.

absolutely. otherwise you condone it. the few games
By domino Go To Postit took me a bit to realize that was actually the cake and not a roundabout way of throwing shade at Minnesota fans using OKC as an example of what's coming for them.I don't understand?
Dray deffo deserves more than a few retaliatory slaps or whatever someone wants to do. People backhand or push Paul for his crotch nonsense.
By reilo Go To PostDraymond is better off getting suspended a couple of times in the regular season for this. Kobe was suspended over his flailing and he stopped doing it.Took Kobe a few months doe. At this point Green has eclipsed the suspension point. To say he's doing in intentionally is like saying Kobe was though.
I'm as sick of Greens shit as anyone. But this is a league that is "cracking down" on flopping too.... The selective enforcement of rules is dumb.

Bruce Bowen was kicking dudes in the face on D

Like, once. He was known for sliding his feet underneath them when they went up for jumpers though. He was probably the dirtiest player I've ever seen, he was out to end guys' careers just for an intimidation factor. If I were commish I would have kicked his punk ass out of the sport for life.
But none of those old school guys were punting dudes in the balls/face once every couple of games. It's been what, 5 incidents since the conference finals? This is so much more flagrant than Laimbeer trying to get away with elbows under the rim back in the day. And then to whine about kinesiology degrees & it just being the way you were born or something - like you're not being paid $82 million because you have olympic-level body control - is the apex of bitchmade.
By Tea Go To PostReading accounts of the stuff Stockton got away with is pretty funny.Stockton, Malone, Oakley, KG, Rodman, Barnes, Bowen... the list can go on. This isn't something new to the NBA...

You get guys that shoot like Matrix and MKG in the NBA... body control doesn't mean you can just instantly change your shooting form.
Them old school might not have kicking dudes but they were trying to injury to people I really can't say Green is trying to put players on IR
Green is still kicking dudes, that's what it boils down to for me.
He's kicking people. And that shouldn't be allowed.

You weren't drawing the line when Kobe was kicking and swinging those elbows on his shot..
By blackace Go To PostYou weren't drawing the line when Kobe was kicking and swinging those elbows on his shot..
By blackace Go To PostYou weren't drawing the line when Kobe was kicking and swinging those elbows on his shot..Or when Bynum was cracking ribs.
By WWCHGT Go To Postlol just saying tho
By blackace Go To PostYou weren't drawing the line when Kobe was kicking and swinging those elbows on his shot..
I never defended late year Kobe and his "shooting form" but it was for the purpose of getting hit and going to the line. Dray isn't contorting like Harden or screaming like CP3 for whistles .....he's just kicking fools
By reilo Go To PostOr when Bynum was cracking ribs.
Now you're just making Shit up, I was posting stories of Bynum being a piece shit throughout LA even when he was still being groomed to be the future of the franchise.
I'm not sure what 2 retired players have to do with Green kicking people now and in the future.
Kobe used to crack fools with his elbows... Saying he was trying to draw fouls is all good and everything but he was cracking dudes in the dome nightly..
It just shows what should be allowed and shouldn't be allowed when the player is on your team..

Draymond won't get away with it very often. So he'd better train himself to stop or he can keep costing his team games

Don't mind the NBA cracking down on him.. but this sudden shock & appalled movement is funny to me
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostDraymond won't get away with it very often. So he'd better train himself to stop or he can keep costing his team gamesWe all agree on this I think. The issue was people saying he was intentionally doing shit which is ridiculous.
It'd be easy for me to condemn a retired players actions now and it'd read really hollow, I just don't think it's all that necessary to contrast today's game with the past when it comes to Green kicking people.
There are things you simply can't do on a NBA court anymore, kicking folks and trying to say it's how your body naturally reacts to loose ball plays is not a good excuse.
Even if it were true you should be punished for it, you can't claim 'natural movement' and think it's gravy, natural or not it's a violation of the rules.

Who said what people can or cannot do. It's the "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" and rewriting history that's amusing to folks like me and ace.
I think how the game has been called in the last decade or so is very relevant to how they call the game today..

And the Internet "justice" wishes for guys to blow up their ACLs because they kicked someone..
By blackace Go To PostI think how the game has been called in the last decade or so is very relevant to how they call the game today..Bingo. Why all of a sudden we focusing on one guy, because he's not likable? Go down the list the last 30 years.
By blackace Go To PostYou get guys that shoot like Matrix and MKG in the NBA… body control doesn't mean you can just instantly change your shooting form.
I know form can be tough to adjust, but I feel like the right shooting coach might be able to fix this.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostI know form can be tough to adjust, but I feel like the right shooting coach might be able to fix this.Think it takes more body control than you think to try and make a shot and then line up a nut blow at the same time... but I guess we are running with that
