I saw some better video (still none slow-mo focused on his hand) that leads me to think it will be more than 5. Imma go with 8 for now.

I think there might be a base suspension for what he did and then a repeater tax on top of it. Clearly I have no idea what the ruling will be, but I'm kinda thinking more like 15 games.
Edit: I can't figure out how the spin could be explained as a "basketball move." Which makes it pretty bad.
I could live with a lifetime suspension and a partial refund on his contract by the League for the Ws.
Yes, I do indeed live in a fantasy land.
I should have put the O/U at 10 games it seems.....
Hard to say what the number of games will land on but I think 10+. It doesn't help his cause that this is the 3rd incident in about 30 games dating back to last year's playoffs; stomping on Sabonis, choking Gobert, and roundhouse smacking Nurkic. Funny at the start of the season Draymond went out of his way to say how the vibes were so much better with Poole out of the locker room this year in San Fran, but I bet the vibes ain't that good now, and he's a large part of that deterioration. (and obviously a large part of the bad vibes last season)
He's been ejected 3 times in 15 games. Last night was just bizarre. There was no "basketball move". He was being a dick. He probably cost the team the game. His antics have cost the team a lot. Too much at this point IMO. The team needs to do something.
Hoping for 20.
I’m going with 25 games.
Indefinitely.

Good
Warriors are fukt with him and fukt without. Steve Kerr is going to get an ulcer from this shit.
Sounds like the NBA was as over it as we were.

Frankly, I love the way the guy plays basketball, everything else just stupid.
Along that line, there's playing hard, and playing stupid. Draymond's hard/stupid play ratio is way high on the stupid side.
Double post.

Hey, how about that Brandin Podziemski, eh? Kid plays better than his 19th pick draft slot. 44% from 3…

How's his groin kick?
He gets to learn from 4x champ and the best to ever do it in the NBA!

I liked humble play it cool Giannis. Intense give-me-my-game-ball Giannis is sort of a bummer.
Maybe this is what we need to have give-a-shit-about-winning-the-game Giannis consistently though.
Draymond seems like the kinda guy that's eventually gonna get shanked in the locker room hallway.
That's gonna be a wild podcast episode.
I suspect that Jordan Poole and he aren't off-the-court buddies.
And while your point is well taken, these are mostly just competitive guys and you can't tell what they really think about other players, they are also human and some of them don't like each other. Dray's headlock of Gobert was absolutely related to personal dislike.

Oh sure big egos and some don’t like each other, but it can be a bit funny watching some of them posturing on the court. I suppose the nba could have a mentally unstable person as much as any other part of society and go off.
I have absolutely played with and against guys I did not like on the field but thought were totally cool off the field. That's just sports.
But yeah, Rudy seems a special case.
Iguodala’s memoir “The Sixth Man” goes into this in detail. It’s a really good read.

Damn, I was hoping for some cool Uncle Rico stories from Danno.
:biggrin:
Anferno Simons is averaging 30.2ppg since returning from injury. Scoot is starting to develop as well, with some bigger games as of late. This *could* be the best back court in the NBA in a few years...the question is do they hold on to Scoot, Ant and Shaedon? Can they? I'd love to see them trade one of them (I'd prefer Scoot as if today) when the time is right for a youngish 4/5. And to your point, a vet like Clay would be a great presence on this team.

Will Hardy is a good coach. Beat the knicks last night and domin-ayton-ing the blazers tonight. 4 starters are injured, and hardy has these guys playing hoops.
Kessler has 7 blocks and I think he’s been on the bench the whole second half.

Sorry Rev. tuned into this game to watch the blazers, scoots having a game but sharpe is 1-11 so not his best game. Certainly a bunch of fun young guns to root for on both teams
