Sabonis is a dirty player. He tried to break Draymond's leg with that illegal foot grab.

Wut? Did you just wake up today and say "I'm going to post the most wrong thing I can today"? Well, you can't say you didn't complete one goal today!
 
Fuck Draymond! He's been one of the worst guys in the league on the court for years and he should get suspended for a few games for the shit he pulled tonight. For anyone that thinks he is a trade target, think again. I've never liked Draymond's game, the dude is nothing if the refs don't let him get away with fouling. He's like a 6'6" version of PatBev. Fuck both of them!
 
Sometimes when I can't watch the game live I'd record it, abstain from the radio and my phone as to avoid finding out the outcome until I can watch the recording. If I were a Kings fan in Sacramento, this Light The Beam thing is gunna spoil it

Just because a narrative is repeated over and over, doesn't mean it's true.

Dames Career Playoff Averages
25.7 4.5 6.2 1.2 0.3

Dame's Playoff Averages vs Golden State
27.6 4.5 6.5 1.2 0.2

So in summary:
  • Original poster stated the Warriors stop Dame
    • The stats point out that Dame might have more individual success against the Warriors than any team int he league
  • KingSpeed assumes the OP was referencing the playoffs and states the Warriors shut down Dame in the playoffs
    • The stats point out that Dame is probably slightly above average vs the Warriors in the playoffs in comparison to other teams
So let's file this narrative in the trash next to the "Steph kills the Blazers in the playoffs because we played drop coverage" despite the data also suggesting Steph has had near average success against Portland in the playoffs, despite tgoing against the Blazers poor guard defenders.

The Warriors team success against Portland has been due to them having 3-4 all-stars against the Blazers 1. They've always been more talented, it's that simple.

Great job

They are fun to watch.

16 years worth of lottery picks finally paid off!

True, but a big time trade is what got them in the playoffs. They traded their coveted lottery pg and older shooter that played zero D, for a post guy that bangs and scores.
 
Sabonis grabbed draymond legs and tried to trip him.
I paused the replay and its clear Sabonis has both arms wrapped around Draymonds foot/leg. This does not excuse a foot stop but people acting like Draymond is the only person who did anything wrong

anyone not seeing that, needs to see an eye doctor, or lets emotions overrule facts… but that never happens around here right?

Some of you let your hate overrule common sense. Not a quality trait….

Hard to tell here:



Personally I don't think either thing is a big deal. There's plausible deniability on both sides, and I'm sure there're people who would say it's fucking obvious they were both at fault. Gotta say the exaggerated frog hop Draymond did isn't helping his case, though.

sabonis got tangled up with green on the glass and fell. sabonis held on to green's leg. green then stomped on sabonis' chest as hard as he could with his other leg.

I think if Green had REALLY stomped "as hard as he could" Sabonis's sternum would've shattered.

Pausing it last night, its clear Sabonis wrapped his arms around Greens leg. Intentional or not, it clearly prevented Draymond from trying to move.
I agree though. Both overblown. Double techs and play on is my opinion.

I dont need glasses to see how hatred snuffs out common sense and facts in todays world. Don't join the cesspool of irrational thought.

He'd get called for everything here.
 
Sabonis grabbed his ankle. It could have been to stop himself from getting stepped on. It could have been to just stop him, maybe get him back for sitting on him the last game.

But, what Draymond did was dirty. He didn't have to step on Sabonis. He didn't need to stomp on him. He didn't need to go at it with fans afterwards just to be a dick. He deserved the ejection and he deserves to probably be suspended for that.

There have been so many occasions of guys on the ground grabbing players legs. Middleton did it last week. GP2weeks did it last game TO sabonis. Hell Dame got super upset at Siakam for doing that to him earlier this season.

In no other instance has the offensive player looked down and deliberately stomped on the guy on the ground. The recklessness of that is inexcusable. I want him to get suspended for at leadt one game.

Egging on the entire crowd like that is suspension worthy in my eye. This isn't the damn WWE.

I get it. I will admit to an irrational disdain for Donte Divencenzo.
