[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I'm not outraged at all. 

Sure

If this Giannis kid keeps working hard to develop a bag, he could be really good

64 is acceptable. 

[CreightonWarrior]

Pretty douchey move if true that the pacers took off with the game ball on Giannis’ career night. 

[Hards Alumni]

You get outraged over the dumbest stuff. Really who cares.

Yeah well Draymond shouldn't be playing professional basketball.

[Jockey]

Just a dumb take.

[Hards Alumni]

Just a dumb take.

Why's that.  He's constantly getting thrown out of games and suspended for violent behavior.  Eventually, it is negligent of the NBA to allow him to continue playing.  He's going to deck someone or something else and if is serious enough someone is going to press charges.  He's been suspended SIX times.  Eventually, he's going to be shown the door for the season because the suspensions seem to have little impact.

Sounds like it was pretty much all the Bucks' own fault.  First, why is Dame shooting it after the buzzer anyway?  Second, the guy who got the ball from the refs was a Bucks staffer.  How did it end up with the Pacers anyway?  Unless someone from the Pacers stole it from the staffer or something, it seems like the Bucks had every chance to get Giannis the ball.  If they gave it to the Pacers, I can see why they weren't really thinking, "Hey, maybe let's get this to Giannis."

All-Time great George McGinnis passed away.

[Its DJOver]

Funniest part is that it wasn’t even Tshiebwe’s first point, they just don’t count IST. Plenty of silliness and overreactions all around.

Guys on the internet don't get to decide who does or does not get to play in the NBA.

I was glad to see the punishment that the NBA doled out this time. I expect to see him out of the league within 2 years as I think think Kerr has had enough.

"Kerr has had enough"?  WTH are you basing this on?  After the game he stated twice "we need Draymond".  This is the same guy who has placated him after every outburst until the Golbert choke where essentially he was forced to take back his original comments. 

Kerr and Golden State management/ownership have exacerbated this entire situation exponentially.  They are part of the freaking problem by treating Green like a coddled 5 year old.  Now maybe, because his game and antics are hurting the team, and the NBA is sorta stepping in, Golden State will decide they have had enough of this clown but who knows?  And as far as the indefinite suspension we should all remember that Ja Morant got one of those, took some anger classes or whatever, and the NBA decided to give him 8 games.

Steve Kerr is awesome

Probably should just anoint Green as Commissioner in waitin', aina?

Why?  He’s been suspended.

[cheebs09]

It sounds like Green can still practice. That's wild to me.

Just a bunch of grown ups acting like dramatic babies. Though if this starts a nice little rivalry between two high scoring teams I like the outcome even if the actions are idiocy

[Uncle Rico]

Tom Izzo just used Draymond Green as an example of Michigan State culture and why they’ve been so successful.

I’ve been told by ball knowers Izzo is a hall of fame coach and where smart players go play.  With that knowledge, I think it’s ridiculous Draymond got suspended.

His actions certainly do fit the culture Izzo has built. Which also fit the entire athletic department there as a whole. Although the victims are usually female.

Sheesh this Wolves team really might be legit.

Just bent the Mavs over a railing with hobbled Ant shooting like Sean Jones.

It’s really unfortunate you aren’t a fan of them though.
