[msgkings322]

I'd be frustrated too their last 4 road games they lost by 1, 1, 2, and 3

Yeah it's time to make big changes. Won't get them any more titles but gotta try something new around Steph. Might be time to bench Klay and let him go after this year. Wiggins deal is pretty tradeable.

The bench outscored the starters 80 to 36 this game lol

Draymond is a problem because he just got extended and even though it's team friendly no one wants this for 3 more years. He's becoming less Charles Barkley and more Dennis Rodman

I was thinking about this yesterday that something happened with Wiggins last year when he missed that time. dude hasn't been same since

I don’t know what happened.

But it is really hard to play at a high level when your head and heart aren’t fully in it. Players in this league are too good.

seems like it was something personal. maybe because his buddy Poole is gone idk. But it seems like he needs another change of scenery. I'm sure playing poorly by his standards has crazy Dray up his ass.

I was shocked the team is actually performing better with Dray on the bench. and I don't know that it as much because of his play but rather the team is looser without him. His behavior is absurd at this point.

For me, I would be against it for this specific reason....

Beginning of last Season, Utah was the hottest team in the NBA the first couple of months and then CRATERED, by choice or by force.

Say they won IST.

They would have taken a spot away from either the Lakers, Thunder, Minny or Pels.

All 4 of those teams deserved to be there.

It isn't how you start, its how you finish and it would have been really shitty for any of those teams to miss out on something they earned because the NBA is trying to come up with new shit to sell to sponsors.

I do agree it would add some stakes to winning the tournament.

I also hope it doesn't happen.

Looks like the vote for a new arena in the OKC is going to pass rather easily.

Is the old one really rundown?

I remember going to an OKC vs Denver game when Iverson played for Denver...and loved the atmosphere.

Your post that I responded to said "these refs must be stopped". You were blaming the refs for something that came from the league.

Also, while some ejections may not be warranted, you don't know what has been happening throughout the game from a tweet. These players are constantly bitching and crying about calls. Some of these guys act like they've never committed a foul in their lives. Could be that a player has been warned several times, then crossed a line.

Might be like the "he must have called him a cocksucker" line from Bull Durham.

Less bitching and crying might lead to fewer ejections. The players should let the coaches do most of the bitching and crying for them. I love Darvin Ham, but as a Lakers fan, I'd rather see him get ejected than Lebron or AD. lol

He hates it when you prove him wrong.

LOL.

He was holding, but it wasn't anything particularly egregious. I think he was trying to emphasize that for a call...but there was no reason to spin and flail his arms like that.

Especially with his history. He's gotta know the refs are looking for that kind of shit from him.

Fuck that bitch.

Kuminga and Moody need more PT to see what they are capable of IMO.

This is a garbage human being.

This is a garbage human being.

People like to say he has an old school mindset, but that's not the case. He's just flat out a dirty player.

 

[Gman]

That's not even close to a basketball move...

... by all rights, Draymond should get his ass beaten into the ground.

Yep.

Chris Mills would have met him in the parking lot after the game with a gun.

The sad part is that it looks like he knew exactly what he was doing.
And hiding behind 'being held' and spinning uncontrollably while 'accidentally' hitting Nurkic.
Looked intentional all the way.
And for what?

Pretty sure the league will send a message here.
Especially for repeat offenses.

What's the O/U on games suspended?
10? 15? 20? More?

start with 10 with the understanding the next one is for the season.

If you hit someone the wrong way in the temple you can kill them. Dray is a large man with the ability to do so and he seems entirely unwilling to control himself. At this point it needs to cost him millions
