I @'d Dean about his Mempis take today after he victory lapped scoot/cade early season struggles. Was gracious and (basically) said they've been ****ing up

Rudy is the classic underdog we can all root for.

Lol just saw LAL/MEM had a scrum too, albeit one without chokeholds. In season tourney brings out the fists.

But we all know Adam Silver is a spineless slappy. David Stern wouldn’t stand for this bs.

MWP got a seven game suspension for this.

Draymond is an idiot, but LOL at thinking that he will get 10 games, and an even bigger LOL at the league if you are correct.

Draymond will not even get a game for that.

I wouldn't be surprised at one or two games, but ten would be ridiculous in a situation where he didn't initiate the fight or do anything that endangered Gobert.

chokeholds can definitely endanger someone depending on the severity

Gobert looked very relaxed during the chokehold and was intentionally keeping his arms up to show the refs . If he was in trouble you’d think he would kick draymond in the balls from that position

Well isn’t even that worst?
He just inflamed a situation with his action risking to start an all-out brawl .

Fwiw in hockey

« Also called the "3rd man in" rule, the first person who was not part of a fight when it broke out but participates in said fight once it has started for any reason (even to pull the players apart) is charged with an automatic game misconduct in addition to any other penalties they receive for fighting. »

Also, LOL at the Warriors being better w/o Draymond. So far this season, he has been the Warriors' second best player, which I freely admit is a sad commentary on Klay, CP3, and Wiggins.

Someone said several years ago that Draymond looks like he is a wearing a heavy backpack when he shoots 3. That's an incredibly accurate description of his goofy outside shot.

Gobert clearly was not in distress. He was looking around at the officials with his hands up, basically hoping that only Draymond would get ejected if he remained passive.

But that's sort of why Draymond was an idiot here. He doesn't like Gobert and he let Gobert play him a bit. Getting played by Rudy Gobert isn't exactly a genius move.

Chuck: See, [Gobert] let him go real quick

Ernie: He had to, he had someone else choking him.

Still the best sports show in television, and it isn't even close.

What the **** is up with Oubre??

Police can't find any footage of a hit-and-run where he claims it happened and he's already back at practice participating in light drills when he was suspected of missing "significant time" due to his injuries.

This guy is out of control. This **** has gone on for way too long. I think he deserves something like 20 games, but Silver won’t do it.

He is beyond a repeat offender.

That’d set a hell of precedent.
