Do you Defend Draymond Green?

[redskinsfan1963]

if showing a gun gets you half a season,no telling how long attacking one for the umphteenth time gets you.ask morant.

At first I voted hell no. Then I saw the video. I changed my vote.

Once again he's done something completely unacceptable.

This time he deserves a lengthy suspension.

No reason for that jackass to be acting like that.

When will the league have enough of his antics?

 

[thunderc]

Disagree premeditated, but absolutely suspension worthy. He was trying to sell the foul, but honestly why the fuck do you need to do that? Doesn't really matter though, he swung wildly, it connected, suspension looming.

Sorry but he has a history of the flailing crap and connecting. He looked right at him before he connected.

Be nice, ya stinkin' sack a pus

Ever heard

Do onto others as they would to you?

Gotta get him before he gets me

 

[redskinsfan1963]

This.

 

[DJ]

As much as he might deserve it...that is unlikely.

 

[msgkings322]

At some point you just euthanize the dirty fuck

They put down wild dogs. This piece of shit is no different.

Well that's certainly not taking things too seriously LOL

Or did I fall for a subtle troll trick?

Ah, I did fall for it. Well played

He likes to see him as Rodman, but Rodman was smart enough to bait players into them getting ejected not him, then throw the punch. It is like how comedy or art is the ability to get away with it - be on the boundary to say funny things but not get called out or cancelled - is getting away with it. Being cancelled or talking to get others mad isn’t. (That was from Andy Warhol.)

In addition the Warriors haven't taken any action to bring him back from the ledge. It's an organizational problem, just as much as it is Draymond. He got into it on the court with KD and they should have sent a strong message to him at that time that shit like that will not be tolerated. Then when he punched Jordan Poole, he didn't miss a single game.

They made this same point on the DP show today. With Poole, not only did they not punish him, they rewarded him with a $100 million extension.

Intent is irrelevant.

He’s done this so many times that it simply does not matter.

10-20 games or Silver is a pussy.

 

[eaglesnut]

Nah, he's kind of a bitch.

Did something else happen?

 

[msgkings322]

They made this same point on the DP show today. With Poole, not only did they not punish him, they rewarded him with a $100 million extension.

They also rewarded Poole with an even bigger bag, for a player that is clearly shitty

 

[Shanemansj13]

Does he even play the game anymore? His antics have always been bad but that is all he is about now.

Pay him out to let him retire or just suspend him indefinitely until he seeks help. This is what happens when he loses? Pretty pathetic display honestly

Rodman actually was apologetic about what he did and not be arrogant about it like Green is during his pressers

 

[broncosmitty]

Defend him from what?

He punched a guy in the head. It happens.

No.

Warrior fans love him because he always brought that edge. The Warriors were always seen as a finesse team and he gave them something that they desperately needed. When passion was required, he brought that fire.

The problem now is that he's relied too heavily on his value to bring that toughness, that he oversteps. In addition the Warriors haven't taken any action to bring him back from the ledge. It's an organizational problem, just as much as it is Draymond. He got into it on the court with KD and they should have sent a strong message to him at that time that shit like that will not be tolerated. Then when he punched Jordan Poole, he didn't miss a single game.

I've been one of the biggest Draymond Green stans around here. I will defend his importance and impact during his tenure with the team with my entire chest. But his behavior, especially this year, cannot be defended. Flat out, he's hurting the team.

The team being old af seems to be hurting the team.

Send him home, it’s impossible to hurt the Pistons.
