2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[addict4sneakers]

Depends on what happens after and why the punch was thrown. Kerr and Mike put it behind them.

Different people in a different situation. Mike can punch anyone. Draymond on the wrong side of 30 and his a history.

This wack man. People are coming out in arms to make fun of Jordan Poole. It's like a 50/50 split on the timeline between Draymond wyled out/Haha Jordan Poole.

Said it before and I will keep saying it. People don't love sports man, they love a spectacle. I don't need/want any of this in basketball.

I wouldn't call it a sucker punch tho, that implies JP didn't see it coming. He may not of expected it but he saw that **** coming. Once you shove somebody you're effectively instigating a fight imo.

It wasn't a sucker punch, both of them were fully aware of each other.

Just dude definitely didnt expect Dray coming back at him like that

Probably expected everyone to step in to break it up after he shoved him like they would in a game.

 

[antidope]

It was wack then too. Yall play basketball man, no ones life is at stake, no one is in danger. It should never get here its BASKETBALL.

Yup bro learned the hard way he'll be straight. I'd feel some type of way about the team leaking the video tho if that is what happened.

This is the type of thing that brings a team together. Draymond not relaxing even after his 4th championship. Showing he still has that dawg in him. Leadership.

 

[HIM]

Yea, the person that leaked the video the *real* problem

Oh I'm laughing
Mainly because Poole gon be straight
Might even get an even greater payday
You right tho, no place for this amount of aggression between teammates in a
professional organization such as the NBA

 

[P C H]

That is absolutely a sucker punch tf?

 

[allergic2broke]

Draymond for Russ ?


Poole pushed Dray and wasnt ready. Stay woke young fella.

 

[rolaholic]

All that 'family/brotherhood' **** goes out the window if there's disrespect involved though tbh

Friends/siblings/teammates have all legit fought over that for forever. Everybody's still got egos no matter the ties that bond them

The Celtics guy posts this and then look who likes it

Green went face to face with him first though

When you a teammate and that happens a push will suffice, grabbing and more shoving

It was most definitely a sucker punch because of the situation. There’s no way that a wind up punch was acceptable

 

[dacomeup]

A Klutch hack and Dame inside access reporter that he’s turned into.

Shameless, man. Brother had potential

It’s really nasty that he pivoted DIRECTLY to access journalism after he literally got it out the mud.

Side note, did not realize that so many of yall HATE Jordan Poole like this

 

[sohi 23]

that’s not a sucker punch in a pickup setting but when you’re playing with your professional sports team it absolutely is. No way Poole thought it would go that far.

With that said, I already know Poole was running his mouth. Somebody pull up the clip of Dame talking about much **** Poole talks

 

[frshstunna]

I forgot this generation is all mouth and no hands.

What happened in that video is a typical Tuesday in a practice in the 1990’s NBA.

Well back then dudes were swinging at everybody, opponents could get it too…Now no punches are thrown anywhere, but Dray decides the one time to throw a haymaker is at a teammate…Yo wildin, simple as that

 

[dacomeup]

Is it Klutch or Dray?

 

[rolaholic]

If one party doesn't put hands on the other then sure its a sucker punch.

Once you do you've gotta be ready and aware of a response no matter how justified you think you were in putting hands on them

 

[dacomeup]

Nah man, this is racist.
