I'm about as concerned by that headlock as Rudy was, which is to say, not at all. Just going limp like Rudy did is disdainful.

The real nastiness was the initial grab and pull where he bent Rudy at a weird angle. Against a much taller, thinner guy like Gobert, that's a lot of sudden stress on the lower back, and way more dangerous than that poorly applied headlock.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Just a matter of time before Draymond slaps the Tazzmission on someone while Joey Styles shrieks into a mic nearby.

I wonder if players have realized that if you get ejected for frowning too much after a basket you might as well fight since it's the same punishment.

Donavan showed refs reward retaliation more than yelling at them.

Cade is turning the ball over on 4% of his frontcourt passes, which is top ten. Watching every Cade Cunningham turnover and trying to figure out what’s going on

quote:

In going back and rewatching every single Cunningham turnover this season, my biggest takeaway is that he looks like someone in the midst of getting re-acclimated to the pace of the NBA game, its angles, and being the center of attention. As a result, he often is overthinking when the ball is in his hands.

I know Killian Hayes is an Abysmal shooter, but counting any pass thrown to him as a turnover is just ridiculous.

I mostly just remember Knicks fans in podcasts being super pissed that they took Obi Toppin over Haliburton.

The San Francisco Warriors suck. Massive loser energy, impossible to respect a single person involved in that organization. Maybe Cory Joseph.
It was a hard time for us in the ever dwindling Point Guards quadrant. On one side the brutal and maniacal The Ball Sticks Here Empire and on the other were the mysterious Connectors. We needed to link with the Play Finishers or our part of the galaxy would be toast. Our transport ships might as well have been traversing a spiders web. We needed something to give us an edge...

Kerr turns into Mr. Magoo whenever Dray does anything bad. Can't see poo poo. Dray deserves a long suspension.

Also yeah Haliburton is pretty much the best offensive player outside of Jokic right now.

What kind of cope does Draymond go with after Silver hands down his suspension? Do you think he goes with a teary-eyed, chest-thumping "I always protect my guys" macho pose or a smirking "whatever, I just tripled the audience for my next podcast."

Adam Silver needs to go biblical and mete out justice against Draymond in the form of eye for an eye. Sabonis gets to stomp on his chest and perform a devious heel click after. Adams gets to kick him on the balls, and a 7'1" frenchman gets to put him in a rear naked choke hold.

What else am I missing?

After watching the Pacers game again, because I like good basketball, I finally watched the beginning of Warriors - Wolves.

Gobert called Dray a clown afterwards and I can’t argue with that. At all. I’m just sick of Dray‘s crap at this point. Can we trade him to the Wizards too? Please?

Pat Bev called out Kat for not supporting Gobert, and I’m glad that someone is saying it. It was weird that he was over to the side coddling Klay and Draymond.
