2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

God forbid if the Warriors get called for a foul.

Green is a douchebag

Never liked him since Michigan State

Never liked him since Michigan State

His "screens" consist of lowering his shoulder and/or elbowing and/or forearm jab. Never called.

And Wiggins loses game with awful shot.

Lakers looking into incident with Young, Clarkson

oh Nick Young.......what a knucklehead.....Clarkson needs to keep a wide berth there.

Yeah, he does.

If there is truth to this, (apparently they only have video of them driving away), the Lakers need to just release him. In fact, they should just release him anyway for sucking. You can be a knucklehead, but you can't be a knucklehead AND suck.

I try to withhold judgement both ways whenever reports like this come out and not assume anything.

I admit, though, its hard not to be super skeptical of this lady's story. I mean... before the incident she was a self described activist trying to stop sexual harassment by athletes... and was trying to sell her program to the NBA. And it just so happens that a couple days later she is sexually harassed by 2 NBA players?? She has pictures of them but no proof of the harassment?

Again, I hate to be skeptical. If it really happened like that I'll feel bad for doubting her story. But I can't help it. It seems like an incredible coincidence.

Oh, I agree. As I was reading the article in this mornings paper and got to the part about her "Project Her" organization, I immediately pictured the church lady from Saturday Night Live saying "How conveeeeenient."

On the other hand, with Nick Young, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that the incident actually happened just as described. To be fair to Swaggy P, the guy doesn't have a mean bone in his body (might be a better player if he did), he's just a harmless knucklehead who refuses to grow up. So I doubt there was any malicious intent.

But he still sucks and that's plenty of reason to cut him loose.

Nothing good can come of hanging with that idiot.

I really hope Clarkson wouldn't mess up his money this Summer.

I'm not sure which one would be worse, if she is lying or if she is telling the truth?

On the whole, I think it would be worse if she is lying, at least for her and her organization. Based on the description of what happened, it was young guys out having fun, acting like idiots (as young guys will do) and no one was actually hurt or had hands put on them. The only difference is, these young guys happen to be celebs to one degree or another.

Agree though, Clarkson needs to stay the hell away from crap like that. Regardless of how comparatively minor the incident might be, it's still not a good look for him. Especially with a guy who probably won't be in the league much longer.

I have a soft spot for children, animals and the elderly.

Takes a weak person to troll, be verbally or physically abusive to anyone in those demographics.

If some Dick made my Mom cry, I'd be enraged.

In fairness, My Mom's response would have probably had them hiding under their bed, pissing themselves or calling for a police escort.

Apparently, Young/Clarkson's car cut off the accuser's car. She flipped them off. They responded inappropriately. Neither seems like the type to sexual harass an old lady. Nick considering filing a lawsuit against the accuser.

Knucklehead yes, but what if the sexual harassment accusations are BS? I can't recall Young getting into trouble before, and I can't fault Clarkson for hanging out with a teammate. We'll see where this ends up.

Should make for some fun games.

They never do. They set illegal screens left and right, not sure I've seen a team get called for less.

Green eats bags of dicks for breakfast. That mouthbreather is an epitome of what you don't want your kids to be like when they get older.

WATCH: Kendrick Perkins clotheslines Lillard, gets ejected

I'm so glad he isn't on the Cavs anymore.

The story is getting more and more sketchy. The lady said she didn't know that these guys were athletes and that she needed help from instagram to identify them...

Turns out this lady used to be a reporter and did several segments on Nick Young where she interviewed him in person... like in this video.

LOL. If you're hoping your kids look up to athletes as role models, then you're probably not doing a very good job anyways.

You can hate the way he conducts himself on the court, but Draymond is one of the good guys out there. Just like CP3 is a bitch on the court, but he's a great guy off of it.

 

[gordontrue]

I honestly don't get fans drawing any conclusions about how good or bad of a person a player is. Short of serious criminal convictions I don't think I know enough about any of them to draw any such conclusion. There are moments when I might see a player act like kind of a douche or like a nice guy... but that is one tiny moment.

Its like when you hear someone talk about a celebrity... "Oh yeah that guy is a total dick. I met him once and he barely even acknowledged me".

 

[Hambombs]

That screen happens atleast once in every game I think without doing it purposely

THIS.

It's one thing to hate the guy on the court, that's fine. But as you said drawing conclusions on his character off the court is plain stupid.

Draymond Green grew up in one of the worst areas in the Country. He was a 4 year collegiate player, who everyone said would never make it as a pro. He's got a tireless work ethic and has improved every year he's been in the NBA and transforming into an All-star and top 2 defender in the NBA. He's gracious to fans, well spoken, makes generous donations to his former alma mater and charities, and stays out of trouble.
