Last weekend I was speculating with a buddy about the Warriors betting odds to miss the playoffs.

Didn't see that coming.

Figured he'd get 10 or so. Hope he misses a bunch more and helps speed up the fall of the Ws.

I just don't understand how he can claim he was trying to sell the foul. He slowed down and basically aimed for Nurkic's head then sped his arms back up. How do you stand behind incidental in that case? At least be honest with people.

Whoa that's harsh! I figured 10 games but he does have a history

That was just him knowing what was coming and desperately trying to head it off in whatever way possible.

Claiming it was unintentional doesn’t help head it off in this case, because nobody believes him.

You know that. I know that. Like I said, he was desperate.

Heck even the league knows that…. Being suspended indefinitely is a pretty big statement, unless the list of things he has to accomplish to get unsuspended is a joke. I’m sure there’s some anger management classes in there he will have to complete. 🤣

It's just too much from Draymond. He's got this viral video of him choking Rudy Gobert and carrying him all the way across the court in a headlock. That was less than a month ago. Now he's winding up and punching Nurkic in the face. (Does Draymond have a problem with European centers or something?) You can't just let a guy run around hurting people, clearly on purpose, multiple times a season. I think it's good that the league has indefinitely suspended him. He should do some real work on himself before he comes back. Totally unacceptable behavior.

Myles Turner loves playing with Legos. A man of culture I see.

Yet Pat Bev is allowed to do whatever he wants. They both need to go in my book.

This looks like the typical Laker fan skill that gets picked at Staples center.

This is the same as when basketball stars have throw a first pitch and it goes 12 feet. I don't get clowmon on this guy tbh.

He has obviously never played basketball in his life.

And, TOO, speaking of your wish list item, Caruso, the Warriors hit pay dirt with the 19th pick in Podziemski. Reminds me a lot of Caruso. Every team would love to have a guy like that.

I thought at first he was just goofing around acting like Stanley from The Office, but it became clear fast that he was really that bad. I also totally agree that clowning on him is uncalled for and uncool.

You think I'm clowning this guy? I'm clowning Laker fans. Yes, it's apparent that he has never picked up a basketball in his life. It is what it is as far as him.
