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

[adobecs4]

Can't convince me Steve Blake and Lucas Black aren't the same person.

League def stepping in lol

 

[akajae]

We all know Warriors released that footage.

Nasty behavior.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Stack putting his NBA experience to work here
to give us profound insights like "never punch a teammate""

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You can't have this continue to happen. This many people of stature in the league can't continue to seemingly be mouthpieces for ONE PERSON. Who is STILL PLAYING and has a personal interest in everything that these guys do and say. Its never direct sure, but context and whatnot, no one is a dummy.

Its mad cool that Bron has done this but from a practical standpoint you just can't have this.

This is your reaction to that Trae young tweet?

[Based Jesus]

Can't be getting punched out and being called a little boy by baddies. Gotta get off the team.

 

[P C H]

Redeem team doc drops today btw

Playing a contact sport for a living is different. Even so you think cops, firefighters, construction workers don't throw the hands every now and then?

They might, but they either get fired, suspended, or fined, depending on what the companies policy is.

If this would have happened in a game I woulda maybe understood cause I get heated when I play ball too. But man did this in his own teams practice in their gym.

 

[getback]

Was it really a "sucker punch" though? Def a B move, but IDK about sucker punch.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

you know watching this...it's possible draymond just did what everyone has been wanting to do?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You guys know damn well that's not a sucker punch.

Internet cats constantly exposing their lack of real life experience smh

Does Stephen jackson have enough real life experience by having this take

I think we need to get a final ruling on what is and isn’t a sucker punch. Obviously punching somebody in the back of the head is a sucker punch, but if your opponent isn’t expecting a fight and you quick jab them, is that a sucker punch?

If you and another person are trash talking playfully and they just start swinging, I would say yea

HOOK SHOT A *** LIKE KAREEM BUT I WONT LEAVE THE BUCKS

League def stepping in lol

Don't think they're gonna go over the teams head over this man

It's preseason

It's like when Aaron Donald slung 2 helmets trying kill someone in training camp weeks ago and the Rams didn't even fine him , league didn't do **** regardless of the outcry to suspend him

 

[danger style]

Exactly my reaction

Dude was like big brothering him that went too far

On some “oh ****, you good you good, get up before mom sees”

nah man he superman punched him and then immediately pulled him into a MT clinch. Was ready to throw some knees if necessary

 

[antidope]

This is your reaction to that Trae young tweet?

You still home? Why haven't you come robbed me yet?

 

[MVP]

Not a sucker punch. You put hands on another man can't expect not too get retaliation. Now did it cross the line, maybe. He ate the punch though.

 

[waukeganwill]

This guy turned a punch by Draymond into an opportunity to slurp Steph.

Nasty.

Steph is my boy but goin from the RattleSnake to Olivia Pope in a matter of months got me wheezing

In that situation yeah it's a sucka punch. They not some random dudes out on the street. He coulda told him lets step outside but again Dray know who he can pull that with. He got zero respect for that man and really the team for real.

NFL sucks regarding punishing players tho. We know this. NBA is supposed to be better than that lol

 

[osh kosh bosh]

it was not a sucker punch. as you would classically define it.
it was just wild an unnecessary.

 

[rolaholic]

you know watching this...it's possible draymond just did what everyone has been wanting to do?

The nonchalantness of the teammates before the coaches stepped in is what has me questioning whether they didn't do anything because they thought it was warranted or not

 

[amitt5504]

muy picante
