I guess I missed SAS fat shaming Zion?  The kid has tremendous talent.  However, vats of gumbo, jambalaya, etoufee, begniets, po boys, mufatellas, and God knows what else are not helping him reach his potential.  I read he has a "295" clause in his contract?  Meaning if he gets that rotund, no bonuses or what exactly?  295?  The kid is 6'6, WTF??  He needs to stop eating everything in his line of vision. 

[MuggsyB]

How many games will Draymond get suspended?  20? 25?

Oh, I could really go for a mufatella.

Enough already. Suspend him until March 1, and then if he can't behave after that, ban him for 100 games. A lifetime ban would be next - hopefully before he hurts somebody badly.

I've only heard good things about him as a person, so I hope his hair-trigger temper and tendency to lash out physically don't carry over to his personal life. But the guy needs serious help.

Is that a mufaletta sandwich with nutella? Sounds gross. Probably has too much salt too.

Ive supported Draymond numerous times here, but I don't disagree.  At a certain point its just habitual and a complete lack of control.

Nearly everything about him off the court is pretty glowing and he's pretty consistently thought of as a good guy among NBA circles, personality-wise/socially...but there is clearly something off with his impulse control and reactionary decision making.  I too hope he gets some help before something even worse happens.

Beyond just that, he has a really bright future after he retires as commentator/analyst/studio guy, which he has already shown, I'd hate for that to get jeopardized because he's unhinged and acting insane to end his playing career.

[MuggsyB]

I don't think Draymond's pressser after the game helped his cause.  Have you ever noticed that when the guy has totally lost it he generally lashes out against a completely defenseless player?  The wtf reaction from the Golden State bench says it all.  Beyond his imminent suspension the Dubs have big probs on the court.  I think what Curry did two years ago is even more remarkable than I originally realized.

He's a member of a protected class, so a minor slap is nothin'. Plus, the NBA is a media whore and any news that keeps it in the forefront, is good news. As for Green, suspend him for the remainder of the season and sentence him to anger management classes with volunteer work in a homeless shelter and food pantry. GS, if they any balls, would peddle his ass. Nurkic should press assault and battery charges, hey?

5 tell you all that, hey?

[tower912]

Suspend him for 40 games.

[MU82]

Wut?

[PGsHeroes32]

Its gotta be rougly a Ja length suspension.

Hes going to no joke kill a player soon. Hes clearly mentally unhinged and you can tell players around the league are at a loss on even explaining it.

[Uncle Rico]

Wut?

He's not a white male, the most put upon people in America

[MU82]

I mean, I thought that's where he was going, but ...

[rocket surgeon]

This actually makes roQQet's posts sound smart. Plus, it equals any racist rant that guy has had.

[MU82]

Nikola Jokic got tossed last night even though he's a member of a protected class.

[MuggsyB]

Draymond is suspended "indefinitely" until he meets "certain requirements".

[Uncle Rico]

Draymond is suspended "indefinitely" until he meets "certain requirements".

Why the air quotes?

[MuggsyB]

Why the air quotes?

Because no one knows what that means. 

[Uncle Rico]

Because no one knows what that means.

Oh

[MuggsyB]

You start with a 20-30 game suspension.  As far as "meeting certain requirements"? Silver can ponder that while Green doesn't collect his paycheck.  One requirement should be if he ever does that garbage again he will be thrown out of the league. 

Part of these "requirements" are "team requirements"?  Is this a fking joke?  You mean the same team and coach that didn't do diddly squat when he punched his teammate in the face?  Absurd.

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

I'm not outraged at all.
