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

[osh kosh bosh]

but im even questioning if it was unnecessary. i think ive become RustyShackleford pilled on Jordan Poole.

Im starting to think it's possible Poole's been asking for it.

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.

I agree. As soon as Poole pushed him he has to know that draymond is an attacker and react accordingly. I’m not blaming Poole for the push because it was necessary

Redeem team doc drops today btw

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Poole really seems like a habitual jimmy rustler.

Glenn Robinson III always seemed like a super chill laid back dude.
if he got GRIII heated, p that says a lot

perhaps Poole just finally pushed his luck too far.

No that's exactly it the push was not necessary. Either jaw back or walk away if your not tryna go there. Once you put hands on someone u gotta be ready for anything

 

[Based Jesus]

To me it's a sucker move to invade someone's space and then swing on them when they forcefully create space but it's not a sucker punch if they fail to prepare after pushing you. Once hands get involved everyone should be ready.

 

[James_O]

The slow reaction from teammates was my takeaway

And the coach bruh. Coach knew **** was going down, you can see him start to walk towards Poole when Dray headed over there. He didn’t even try to stop it.

Has Kevin Wayne Durant weighed in on the Draymond-Poole situation yet? I would imagine he has some thoughts.

 

[akajae]

Poole sucker pushed him

 

[sooperhooper]

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

Definitely not a sucker punch. Don't even know why people are saying that. Dray was out of line but Poole should've been ready after the push.

 

[noblekane]

and here all this time i thought it would be klay to punch poole

I am pleased we can find common ground on this my Canadian Bredren

Depends on one’s definition of sucker punch

IMO

Poole clearly was not trying to fight, he’s at practice with teammates around, clearly was not on that kind of time and was not the aggressor. Dray steps into his space, he pushes him off to get him out of his space and Dray goes Mike Tyson. That’s a sucker punch to me

Should Poole have been on that time when Dray stepped to him? Sure.

 

[freeze]

 

[sooperhooper]

Knowing Draymond, he probably recorded this after the punch

 

[MVP]

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

He punched several fans before

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He punched several fans before

Exactly lol

Tough nt’ers trying to act like they know what’s what

You got a number of players saying it was a sucker punch including one of the wildest cats sports has ever seen

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I played ball with a dude who talked crazy on the court, he was like 6'5 a played pro overseas
but he loved to come to community centers and talk crazy and destroy local hoopers.

i've seen him get punched multiple times....and he deserved every one.



there are limits to trash talk, if you wanna live that life.
you gotta accept the occasional knuckle sandwich

 

[art vandelay]

Also, it’ll be interesting because just like us I bet for a lot of the players on the team (and others) this is their first time seeing this footage too

But what if they there

 

[flyerthandelta]

You invade my space you getting chin checked…the min he allowed Dray there and you don’t snuff him, best believe you will be the one getting snuffed

 

[sooperhooper]

Didn't know that Michigan v Michigan St rivalry was that deep

 

[tomdiginson]

That's not a sucker punch. You don't push someone and think that's it. Plus you can tell Poole one of then cats who need straightening. Just out here rubbing everyone wrong. Draymond had to be the bad guy and sort it it. Whoever leaked the video should be jobless.

 

[lynchpin33]

Damn

Serious talk does the players union even rock with him after took well below his market value to ring chase? After the players union fought for those wages.
