I have Jokic and Green on my fantasy team. Scored me a big -6 points between the two of them last night.

I'm kind of over even making fun of him or seeing the amusing side of it anymore. He's going to seriously injure someone one of these times and the league will be culpable for allowing it to happen.

Yeah, Draymond needs a big ol' suspension and it'd probably be the best thing for him. He can use that time for some much needed counseling. Not only is he ruining his NBA career, he's ruining his post-NBA career as well. Nobody's going to want to work with somebody with those anger management issues.

The Warriors need to call him out. The lack thereof throughout this years is just enabling him. Step up Kerr, hard to take anything you say seriously when you're letting this ish happen over and over again.

Quality response from Nurkic though.

Since the punch happened right in front of the bench, you can see all the bench guys with just "wtf?" looks of disappointment when it occurred. One guy even threw his hands up like, "What are you doing?"

He'll get a game or two and then do this again in like February.

I wish one of these times Draymond did that to someone like Serge Ibaka or Steven Adams and they just whoop his ass. Maybe then he'd learn.

Draymond ain't Barkley. Chuck is a unicorn.

You can’t compare Charles Barkley to Draymond. Chuck is one of the most likable and charming people in sports. Also, Charles was defending himself which is different than what Draymond has been doing.

A person like Draymond picks and chooses his battles.

Green has been an **** and being coddled for far too long for counseling to do any good. Dude needs to be banned from the league and shunned for a while. Then he'd at least pretend not to be an **** for a while.

buckboy · Post #1937 » by **buckboy** » Wed Dec 13, 2023 5:42 pm

Are we going to have three sub-15-win teams?

Because if we do, that's going to be a loud coversation about the draft process.

BUCKnation · Post #1938 » by **BUCKnation** » Wed Dec 13, 2023 5:50 pm

At some point, Draymond needs some accumulation suspensions. Kareem Jackson in the NFL has been suspended multiple times, just this year, each time increasing in length due to the frequency. They are dirty hits, but at least those are football plays. Draymond needs like a 25 gamer to maybe learn the lesson.

I fully expect the Spurs losing streak to end in Milwaukee next week.

Many of the former NBA villians, intimidators, and pests are getting the NBA TV jobs. Barkley is on TNT, Matt Barnes is an analyst with the Kings. Shaq and Kendrick Perkins were intimidators. JJ Reddick and Reggie Miller were pests.

Draymond is actually helping his post-NBA career IMO. He's likely on his last contract and I see this as helping his post-NBA career as making a household "name" for himself lol.
