Needs to get suspended atleast another 5 games. He's out there being a douche bag, attentionally injuring/hurting people. Imagine Nurkic out with a broken nose or something for a few games then Suns end up losing a couple games thus costing them a higher seeding position. Imagine Green doing these type of bs moves and injures one of your starters for your team.

It's comical at this point, I know Dray has always had issues controlling his emotions, but it seems to be getting worse as he ages.

Nice acting by the big man.

Jurkic was clearly holding Draymond around the waist so he couldn't move (a foul call missed)

Draymond wrested himself away from the hold, rotated at the waist, the contact was unintentional.

Nurkic with the acting job, acting like he was decked. Notice he bounced right back after and played as if nothing happened. No mark, no black eye, nothing.

When someone is holding you, you have to wriggle to break free- that's what Green did. What do you want him to do?

Nurkic has a reputation of being a dirty, aggressive player as well.

If there were black refs officiating, this would be a non-call; or Jurkic would have been called for the hold. Because there will only white refs, they over-reacted because the 'victim' (note: also the aggressor) was white. It's called Mirror Neurons. All NBA refs should go through implicit bias training- both white and black refs give favorable calls to their own. Adam Silver himself needs to take implicit bias training.

Smart work by Jurkic, the Suns took over after that.

He is the most suspended player by far in the league in the last decade. By a significant margin. He can be banned for half the season and he won't change, a complete and utter moron. He's the same idiot that talked later about the 2016 finals or the JP incident and how he doesn't regret anything thinking that makes him sound cool.

My friend, you've added substantially little to the conversation over the years. If anyone actually fits the description you're outlining, you might want to look in the mirror. If you want to have an adult conversation, I'm ready when you are.

[bdonovan]

Just to be clear, Nurkic provoked Green's response.

Nurkic thought he was being subtle but dug his right hand into Green's right lumbar region. If you've ever had someone do that you, it's very painful.

https://i.postimg.cc/K8WtrksB/Screenshot-2023-12-13-at-4-33-41-PM.png

I guarantee you Nurkic's driving his hand into Green's lumbar area was far more painful than Green's meaningless slap to Nurkic.

Nurkic's move was just more subtle.

How interesting people are arguing we should disregard Jurkic's initial act and only judge Green's response.... when these same people told you we should absolutely factor in Morris' initial act against Jokic, not just Jokic's response :D

It's so easy to go with the half narrative that we should ONLY judge Green and not Nurkic's provocation. Too convenient. Nurkic caused significantly more pain to Green than vice-versa; the only difference was his act was less noticed.

Yes Draymond has a past but so does Nurkic, a perennial dirty player who has gotten into his share of conflicts. Given the demographics of the NBA organization, I suspect they will subscribe to the biased "half narrative" in this case and punish Greeen and not Jurkic.

Green's response in thrusting away and rotating his body (and also his arm) was an involuntary impulse to pain. Nurkic's causing the pain by squeezing Green's right lumbar area was intentional.

[tontoz]

Bdonovan showing his idiocy once again. :facepalm

This clown lives in an alternate reality or something. Nukic just had his hand on Dray's back and wasn't impeding him at all but somehow that deserves a spinning backhand to the face? :facepalm

That is almost as bad as his claim that Morris was just trying to stop a fast break when he hip checked Jokic (down 20 with a few minutes left:oldlol:).

Even if what you said is true about Nurk (it's not), it doesn't excuse Dray's behavior. Dray has a history of violence in the NBA and should be more careful, instead he's even more erratic. If it's other players doing it, they'd get the benefit of the doubt about whether it was intential or not. But Dray's rap sheet, it makes perfect sense why few people will buy it.

[PistonsFan#21]

Obviously a dumb move on Green part but Nurkic did a lil bit of acting to make sure Green gets tossed (which i think he did deserve btw).

The amount of force wasnt enough to knock him down and leave him laid out on the floor that long. Guarantee he wouldn't have reacted that way if it was streetball with no refs or a streetfight.

[FKAri]

Just fine him 680% of his current contract.

[Jasper]

green is a pure thug... a couple years ago it was kicks ,, now its punches

when he doesn't want to play in a game , he basically does this to get out of the game.
He should be punished by the NBA for like a year.

[tpols]

Artest was suspended for 7 games after he threw that vicious elbow on Harden. And Artest had a worse rap sheet than Dray.

Honestly... The swing looked violent and ape like reflex but it really didn't connect beyond a backhanded slap and Nurkic this big tough euro guy laid down like he got shot or something.

Getting back hand slapped is embarrassing but it's not enough to lay out a 7 foot 250+ pound tough guy. Nurkic definitely played it up.

Who the **** hits the deck like that because they got slapped? That's bogus shit physics wouldn't even agree with.

You guys are wild. It's hard to even see how much of the point of contact is the hand vs the forearm which makes a big difference. Where exactly he got hit on the head makes a big difference too. Regardless, anytime someone's getting hit in the head there's so much variance that you can never be certain how bad it is.

Artest got him in the sweet spot. In a lot of combat sports, hits like that are illegal haha. That's some could be seizure level hit, but dude was in there + it was Harden. Like my dude said "he shouldn't have tried to get in the way of dude celebrating." I agree. But I can say 100% where he got hit was bad. He got KO'd.

Dray is a clown tho, and time changed, suspend him 20+ because he's acting a fool. Like I told you dudes, need to trade this fool, he's prol the whole problem w/ wars.

To be fair Euros are heavily represented among big men right now and thats the position Dray guards. He did famously swipe at LeKing’s onions in the finals, which in his defense is hard not to do considering how much space they take up. And he did punch Jordan Poole.

I mean...Draymond may very well be having some psychological nonsense going, maybe this is a side effect of him being washed up and feeling it and not being able to handle it...



But we've seen worse. Much worse. Karl Malone's done things that easily could've killed even megastars like D-Rob and Isaiah. He put David out cold, unconscious BEFORE he hit his head on the hardwood. He gave Isaiah the infamous 40 stitch lesson. There's levels. Daymond isn't at the highest level of violent. But this is excessive and re.tarded at this point.

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

Green has anger issues and acting a fool on court. Dude thinks its cute and pretend/making excuses after he makes a dirty play. Green trying to present a tough guy, not going to take anyones bs persona. Instead dude is "Soft like Charmin".

Man up, if you going to push somebody then push somebody not make excuses, "oh I didnt do nothing wrong, I was just falling over". If you going to lay a dude out then lay the dude out. Then when interviewed after say, "I apologize, i shouldnt have do that, I need to control my anger better".

Whether it was intentional or not, you two should realize that he's been involved with a number of on-court violence by now. Hence, the flagrant, ejection and suspension.

The difference is Malone wasn't trying to convince people he was just going for the ball or it was part of his natural range of motion. That's what makes it sick. Until recently a lot of people were actually buying this guy's excuses.

You can literally see Nurkic grab the side of his face before falling down. I'm not saying it wasn't an intentional move on Green's part or that he didn't deserve being ejected, im just saying that Nurkic took a few minutes to get up just to make sure the ref acknowledged it and gave Draymond a flagrant 2 instead of just a technical. I saw Larry Bird being choked from the back while having Dr.J punch him straight in the face 3 times and he wasn't even that phased.

GREEN WATCHED THE video of the incident with Gobert on his phone as soon as he got back to the locker room the night it happened. He was aghast. “When I watched it back, I said, ‘Damn, I held him much longer than I realized in that moment,'” Green said. “But the reality is, in those moments, you don’t know what time is. You don’t have a sense of time.” (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39115243/warriors-biggest-problem-draymond-green-suspension)
– via Ramona Shelburne @ ESPN (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39115243/warriors-biggest-problem-draymond-green-suspension)





Green said he talked about the incident with Gobert in depth with Stephen Curry. He said he tried to explain how he lost his sense of time and place. “That’s the conversation we had,” Curry told ESPN. “I was like, ‘I worry less about what you did, but more the why and how it happened.’ “We’ve been together so long, he’s told me about a lot of the stuff that’s happened to him personally along the way. There are a lot of stressors. … But we all breathe life from him. (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39115243/warriors-biggest-problem-draymond-green-suspension) I don’t know anybody who can replace that. He’s such a barometer for how we’re playing, how motivated we are. His effect on the room is strong. So it’s a blessing and a curse.”

Gobert had been a frequent target of public verbal barbs from Green over the years, but he expressed concern for Green’s well-being on Thursday night. “I have empathy for him,” Gobert told ESPN after an eight-point, 12-rebound performance during the Timberwolves’ 119-101 win over the Dallas Mavericks. “You see somebody that’s not well inside and suffering. (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39117004/wolves-rudy-gobert-says-feels-empathy-warriors-rival-draymond-green) You take away the game and all that, and you want somebody to be well and be able to do what we do every night and compete and be happy.”

It's on the same level of funny as Harden getting elbowed, except prol funnier cuz dude didn't really get hurt. But just dropping dude on the floor after all that was ded level funny.

You mean him kicking people in the nuts wasn't explained by kinesiology after all?


I just laugh at it. It's funny how you can tell me how I get hit and how my body is supposed to react. I didn't know the league office was that smart when it came to body movements. I'm not sure if they took kinesiology for their positions to tell you how your body is going to react when you get hit in a certain position. Or you go up and you have guys who jump to the ceiling. A lot of these guys that make the rules can't touch the rim, yet they tell you how you're way up there in the air which way your body (is supposed to go). I don't understand that. That's like me going in there and saying, 'Hey, you did something on your paperwork wrong.' I don't know what your paperwork looks like. But it is what it is. ... I don't know. Let them keep telling people how their body react I guess. They need to go take a few more kinesiology classes though. Maybe they can take a taping class or functional movement classes. Let me know how the body works because clearly mine don't work the right way.

What an absolute clown. And some people believed this shit.

Steph deserves more credit for carrying this Bozo to 4 titles.

This Draymond quote above is the same kind of braindead rationalization that posters here make. "They can't touch the rim so they don't understand why it's ok for me to kick someone in the nuts" is right up there with "well these guys played so their opinion is automatically more valid than yours."

eh Rudy talks too much though... which is not unexpected for a frenchmen

He got himself in trouble with Mitchell with his stupid covid crap

and for all we know he got covid from Mitchell. Best thing to happen to him was getting to play with guys that fit which Mitchell never did

James Edwards III: Patrick Beverley is causing a scene before Pistons-76ers. Went over to talk to Isaiah Stewart in the middle of his workout, then started jawing with Jarrett Jack. Security for both teams got in the middle. (https://*********.com/social/) All is good now. Stewart got ejected last game for his retaliation after Bev elbowed him.

That all may be true, but it still doesn't mean he isn't being a top notch troll to Draymond right now:oldlol:

Pat Bev is that short, annoying, "im so tough", no playing time scrub.

Grayson Allen use to be one of if not the dirtiest player but his time in Phoenix changed that, for now.

Green is a dirty, 6'7 240 wannabe tough guy. That big but need to make excuses for you dirty plays. Everyone talks smack, plays hard, but douchebag Green wants to take it beyond that. Bet you he wouldnt take it in a ring, say a celebrity boxing match.

This pretty much sums up Greens antics...

This was an accident

[hold this L]

Artest was suspended for 7 games after he threw that vicious elbow on Harden. And Artest had a worse rap sheet than Dray.

Honestly... The swing looked violent and ape like reflex but it really didn't connect beyond a backhanded slap and Nurkic this big tough euro guy laid down like he got shot or something.

Getting back hand slapped is embarrassing but it's not enough to lay out a 7 foot 250+ pound tough guy. Nurkic definitely played it up.

Who the **** hits the deck like that because they got slapped? That's bogus shit physics wouldn't even agree with.

It's not that both have a bad history, Dray just came back from another incident. Khabib hadn't choked out the little bauggette, then he likely gets a few game suspension for this event. However Draymond reminds me of that guy that has lost part of his game due to age and is trying to bring it back using dirty tricks. He's just too old and not slick enough to be good at hiding it like before. And his hit was 100% intentional, he turns around and then the hand goes up. Nurk is a guy that usually fouls a lot and is a dirty little dude, who also happens to be a massive flopping little bitch. However that doesn't Draymond isn't an idiot and a dirty player either.

İmagine giving this lunatic a 100mill dollars. Trade his ass.

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

It's one thing standing up for your teammates, being a enforcer, up in opponent faces, giving hard fouls, talking smack, but guy straight lost his mind. Actually trying to hurt people and pretend or trying to disguise it. Saying it wasnt intentional when it's 100% obvious it was. Making excuses on how the opponent was holding him or whatever thats why he wanted to put them to sleep.

Hope they give him 10+ games and if he still acting a fool, half a season, then a whole year. By then should pretty much be out of the league due to decline and dumb antics on court.

Pat Bev has actually injured players with his dirty play and tried to blow their knees out... like what he did to OKC Westbrook in the playoffs.

Dray makes dirty plays but they aren't the type that gets guys hurt. Getting slapped in the face, choked out, or kicked in the nuts hurts but it's not in the same realm as blowing someone's knee out. It honestly has 0 effect outside 5 minutes of momentary pain.

[beasted]

For all we know you're illogical.

Players were undergoing daily testing. So Mitchell was contagious enough to pass it to Rudy, but not contagious enough to test positive? Make it make sense.

he would for cash and hype. This whole new Green is something that happened in the NBA. He was cool in college and early NBA. He really was one of the main reasons GSW was the best team, but he just went ape then he got washed and became a headcase. Rodman was like 40 on LA and a headcase and he still wasn't as bad as green is now.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has started counseling and is expected to remain sidelined via suspension for at least the next three weeks, (https://theathletic.com/5145989/2023/12/18/draymond-green-counseling-warriors/) league sources said. The NBA announced an indefinite suspension for Green on Dec. 13 for striking Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić in the face during a game one night earlier. Joe Dumars, NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations, said in a statement that Green’s “repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts” was a factor in the decision.
