2023/2024 NBA THREAD: WHO WANTS TO GO ON PARADE?!?

[Adolf Allerbush]

Was curious myself so…seems like when Jokic is frustrated about a play or a game, he sometimes loses his shit and does dirty/reckless stuff. Google “Jokic dirty play” and these pop right up. Takes 5 seconds.

This one is funny because it involves Jokic and Draymond. Ejected from WCF game. Not dirty, just loses his cool:

Loses his cool again and gets ejected on a F2; def dangerous on Cam Payne in another playoff game: https://youtu.be/5bHAc-BU8oE?si=9VQ0lzt-VeV1EbDA

This one dangerous on Bam: https://youtu.be/Z50iDcOUTN0?si=QtAzz6puA_REirZ8

Loses his cool and blasts Sexton here: https://youtu.be/30NxeNg7dGY?si=PiJcJtdk8vnpJB3i

Frustration take foul here on PatBev (which is kinda funny because PatBev is reckless/dangerous himself):

If Jokic got to 6 Finals, won 3 more titles, and played on one of the more popular teams in the league, then he’d draw a lot more focus on this type of shit. Maybe he’ll keep playing at his current level and get there.

None of those seem like big deals to me...and this coming from someone who thinks Joker gets away with a lot of offensive fouls that other players get called for, so I'm no Joker homer.

[TahoeJ]

Not only does he show only one clip

Yeah I had other shit going on so just quickly grabbed an obvious one, ya dumb cunt. This is an Internet forum not a paid gig. I’ll make sure to be more detailed when presenting my PHD thesis on the matter.

Only a warrior homer would think those compare to Draymond's dirty plays.... Most of these above are basically what Draymond does every game, ie, loses his cool and yells at the ref. for comparison, here is a 10-minute highlight reel of Draymond's dirty plays posted in 2018 so misses the last 5 years, but you can see Draymond bulldozer into LeBron in multiple games much like Jokic did once to Morris. It also highlights how much Draymond likes to kick people, particularly Steven Adams in the nuts. Jesus, he's kicked Adams in the nuts so many times. (and to be fair to the argument, Jokic does kick the basketball a lot, but that's because he gets lazy on defense, and it's the basketball, not someone's balls or head)



Saying Jokic is a dirty player like Draymond is jokable.

Damn I thought I was a homer for my teams, the Dubs fans are next level.

Love that the Dubs have so many haters. Spent 40 years watching them be one of the most incompetent outfits in all of pro sports. Bill Simmons even wrote about it. https://grantland.com/features/how-a...60-easy-steps/

It’s been a fun ride the last few years.

Hate on Fellas, hate on…

I see what you did there.

Oh - and Green is super dirty. Obviously. My neighbor/friend across the street is a huge Warriors fan and he not only admits Draymond is a thug, he revels in it. I respect that attitude. Frankly, until now I didn't know anyone who thought Draymond wasn't one of the dirtiest players in the league.

Regardless, he was an excellent player for a long time, on a team that played outstanding basketball and played the right way. And still plays the right way. Fun as shit to watch.

What's funny is that you guys are such homers that you treat everyone who disagrees with you as "haters". I certainly am not a Dubs fan but I would say I am only a fan of 3 teams. I only dislike a few teams, and they are definitely not one of the teams I don't like and I am far from a hater. I like Curry and Klay a lot, and respect the hell out of Dray (when he's just playing and not pulling this shit). I am no hater. And haven't seen many post in here as Dubs haters. Just not as homers. Which to you means hater. :shrug:

Warriors homers defending Draymond has to be one of the funnier things I hear on a regular basis. No one I know or hear of "hates" the Warriors. People get tired of Draymond doing dumb shit that injures others. I get pissed off when Jokic does his temper tantrum shit but he gets abused and doesn't shoot that many FT's. I did not get pissed when he decided Morris was going to find out after fucking around.

I don't think Jokic does it because he's lazy. He knows he's beaten and it doesn't negatively affect him or his team. It's a pretty smart play given that he's saving what is probably an easy basket.

You’ve got to be kidding… maybe not hated on like the Lakers or Celtics but established firmly right after them on the haterade scale.

Win enough games/dominate enough seasons, and people start to get jealous/hateful.

Not even close. Not in the same universe as Lakers or Celtics or even Jazz, for that matter. I don't think anyone *hates* the dubs.

I know it shatters your victim game, but the dubs have to be one of the most likeable teams in the league, outside of Clownpants McStranglehold. I mean, Steph is a poster child for the NBA and Klay is downright lovable. So funny how dubs fans want to be the NWA of the league but in fact they're Kid'N'Play.

[I've seen black diamonds!]

It was Ruby Gobert. They should've made Draymond player of the week.

[Danno]

Is there even a shred of doubt that Dray did what he did BECAUSE it was Gobert?

Lol… the Jazz? Sorry dude, no one even thinks about them. Like… what? That shit is funny.

If you want people to hate on your team, you have to get racist fans. You know, like the Jazz?

I’ve been a Warriors fan for awhile now, but I think I’m the only one that wishes they’d cut ties with Draymond and kept Jordan Poole. Or cut them both last season.

Draymond is a tool. He costs them a lot of games with all his bullshit. You can pull down rebounds and play good D without acting like a twat. This ain’t hockey, the idea of “the enforcer” in basketball is new and should go away and take Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green.

I think that’s a foregone conclusion. They were exchanging internet memes before the game.

Did you watch many games last season? Poole’s decision making had Curry chucking mouth guards into the stands. Getting out of that contract we gave him was a blessing. And, uh, maybe ask a Wizards fan how it’s going over there.

They should have cut them both last season? This is the NBA not the NFL - contracts are fully guaranteed so you almost never see cuts for anyone with a real contract.

Enforcers are new in the NBA? How old are you? Charles Oakley would like a word.

Laimbeer is probably a better example, Jordan Poole off the bench is different than Poole leading a team. Steph was frustrated they lost, whether that’s Poole missing the last shot or Klay or Dray, a loss is a loss. Clearly they wouldn’t buy out their contracts, but Dray came up in 2019 or so and I wouldn’t have extended him then. He is way overpaid. We’re clearly not going to see eye-to-eye, but the dubs weren’t competitive last year and won’t be this year, so I say that’s proof enough. Adding CP3 certainly isn’t going to get them past Milwaukee, Miami, Denver, or even LA again.

Oakley came off the bench most of his career. As should Draymond. Limited minutes with the 2nd team might curb his attitude problem. He thinks he’s on the level of Klay and Steph.

[TahoeJ]

I hope for your sake you’re just trolling and not actually serious with most of that. Not even going to bother…
