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

Another Cavs - W's game, another Draymond ejection.

Some things just never change.

Might be the first time ever I agree with Draymond on that being a ridiculous ejection. He probably deserved the T but retroactive seems pretty odd. That being said he’s still an idiot with his post ejection antics.

Draymond can absolutely be an idiot but that ejection was horse shit and I'm not sure it's even allowed under the rules. There's a "statute of limitations" so to speak during a review process. It'll be interesting to see if the league releases a clarification at some point today.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that 8 games is kind of a small sample size for a player in his 11th season...

Thank you Mike Muscala, 76ers bubble hero, we are forever in your debt. Sixers now have best record in the NBA!

Is Houston the surprise team of the year so far? They have been on a tear beating some very good teams.

I laughed. Cavs have their number this year.

So do the wolves apparently. Draymond saw Klay and Jaden McDaniels fighting to start the game, and ran right in there to get himself ejected as well.

pure comedy

**Crusty** · 11-15-2023, 12:06 AM

Green had a strong disinterest in playing in this one without Steph.

**lowsparkco** · 11-15-2023, 01:01 AM

Anybody else enjoying the Clippers demise since Harden joined?

It’s like they tried to build a lineup of guys that can’t play with anyone else. That’s gotta be the most overrated big 4 in the history of the NBA. Each of them couldn’t quite carry their own team for more than a season or two.

So just to be clear, MIN barely beat the Warriors without Steph, Klay or Draymond. I’m really not sure how that would lead one to the conclusion that they have their number. Lol…

And yes, the Harden Clippers thing is funny, especially because people were acting like they were title favorites after the trade. I’m sure they’ll pull it together over time, however.

Yeah, so I’m perfectly fine with Draymond putting the French Covid Clown into a chokehold. How in the hell wasn’t Gobert tossed as well? I realize Draymond is Draymond but he was backing up his teammate.

Truly shocking take.

Well the wolves did beat them in the previous game with all 3 of those guys playing most of the game. Technically only Steph was sitting last night, but Klay and Draymond only made it for a minute before getting booted.

Draymond got ejected from 25% of the games he played in last season so that seems part of the Warriors experience.

Thompson started the whole thing in the first place homer. He has been a model citizen his whole career though so he gets a pass.

League is probably going to come down on Draymond hard. Way to much history and already let alone his antics this week. 10 games?

Dumb take. McDaniels didn’t need to escalate a little jersey grab into a swinging girl fight. Just slap the hand away (you guys ever actually play hoops or just read r/nba?)

10 games for Draymond? What are you smoking?

Overreact much?

Game was entertaining despite the ejections at 0-0

Relax.
70 games left in season.

Check back in around 25-30 games to see who is any good this year.

I agree McDaniels escalated, but Thompson still started it.

Draymond has a rap sheet a fucking mile long, including a suspension that cost his team a championship. A 1 gamer or no suspension isn't going to change anything.

There’s an elbow, push, or grab every single play. Play on.

JFC, watch Curry off ball and see what he does to play on and fight through all the grabbing and holding. No need to retaliate.

Interview with official:

“QUESTION: Why did you land on the decision to eject Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels as opposed to giving them double technicals?

FORD: Both players were involved in an altercation that didn’t immediately dissolve and their actions warranted an ejection

QUESTION: Why was Draymond Green assessed a Flagrant 2?

FORD: He aggressively put Gobert in a headlock and refuses to let go. This is unnecessary and excessive conduct which meets the standard for a flagrant foul penalty 2.

QUESTION: Was there consideration to giving extra discipline to Rudy Gobert for his part or anyone else involved besides Draymond Green?

FORD: Gobert was attempting to separate Thompson and McDaniels and was ruled to be a peacemaker. We reviewed all other players and acts and no other unsportsmanlike acts were observed.”

Mcdaniels and Klay were equally responsible for that shit, acting like Klay was innocent (or more innocent) is BS.

And Draymond will be suspended and I would not at all be surprised if it was 10 games. Just watched a clip on ESPN where Jay Williams said Dray would be suspended for 10 games, so he must be smoking the same shit AR is.

Was that a typo or are you actually retarded?

Anyway, the whole point of that photo is it disproves Gobert as being a peacekeeper. No one on MIN is even close to Klay there at that point.

**cat in january** · 11-15-2023, 09:30 AM

Dude, even by your standards that’s bad

**TahoeJ** · 11-15-2023, 09:38 AM

I mean at least my standards include basic logic and math. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

Sure, the photo does that, lol. I have watched a clip of the thing over and over, and about 1 second before this Klay and McDaniels were going at it.

I’m not sure in what world grabbing the other team’s player makes you a peacekeeper. (It’s not like Klay and Rudy are friends off the court, which would be an exception to that rule). You pull back your teammate…
