You are dying on this hill for no good reason.

It’s a exhibition game.

The good ole days of Bird walking into the locker room asking who’s coming in 2nd are gone.

I’d like to see them come back.

But, the fact remains that I don’t give a single thought to anything that happens in a Allstar game the moment real games start up again.

If I feel that way as a fan, can’t be mad at the players for not taking it seriously.

Dying on the hill that I care about the all star game? And that I think it is salvageable?

If we are being completely honest…

Regular season games are often treated like exhibitions too.

There are so damn many.

The consequence of losing a few here and there is minuscule.

Obviously not to the degree of the all star game, but still.

If they cut games, gotta cut salary.

Cause and effect, no?

Players don’t want that.

I rather see them expand rosters like they did with the two way contracts.

That worked so well, they expanded that even further by removing that 50 game max clause.

Take care of business early, sit guys in the 4th.

Take care of business early in the Season, sit guys at the end when you have your seeding locked up.

If true seems he got off pretty easy considering his history

Still waiting for him to get one right
Feels like the recent Warrior slide has impacted the time line of Draymond’s “rehabilitation” in order to wrap up this suspension. They probably don’t like a high profile team sitting at 16-18 right now.

People acting surprised by this is hilarious.

This was always the projected length of suspension after the initial suspension was announced.....now let's act fake mad about something that was said 3 weeks ago lol
I’m not surprised by this. I also missed the 12 game projection.

It was within the time frame as my post after yours stated

Woj mentioned after new years day and Shams said 3 weeks. Suspension is lifted roughly 3 weeks after

Maybe they could have stretched it to MLK to next weekend to make it a month but after the details came out, this was around the expected return date

I had just seen indefinitely. To me he’s not going to be able to work on and demonstrate improvement inside of 3 weeks.

He has missed over a month of basketball with his 2 suspensions this season. If he doesn't get it now then he never will

I mean there's only one way to show improvement and that requires him being on the basketball court.

They play Memphis next Monday and those boys don't like him much so we will see if Bane or Ja try to get under his skin

Totally.

This was always about sending a message and getting Draymond help that hopefully alters his behavior.

Not just about punishment.

Now if he does it again?

I expect a much longer suspension.
