    Uh...he wasn't looking at Tristan Thomspon.  Klay Thompson did the exact same thing behind Draymond in that play.  He clapped and walked into the play while not looking at Thompson's direction. He might have said something but who's responsibility is it to maintain their composure?  Is it not Tristan Thompson's.  Stans are eager for Raymond's suspension to the point where they'll ignore that Tristan Thompson started that entire situation with disgusting dirty elbows.  During that moment, the warriors had the win in the bag with 2.6 left.  He had every right to celebrate.  He celebrated even after that play.  

    Common hot takes on Green : He needs to get suspended, donkey looking *****, he breathes through his nose, wide mouth *******, ***** draymond, someone needs to kill him(stab him, shank him), Monkey(ape, chimp, *****ing *igger, etc) , I hope he gets injured, I want to punch him in the face, Draymond Green doesn't deserve an all-star consideration, etc.   The anger stems everywhere. 

     As TrueMagicFan pointed out because she remembers it all to well, LeBron taunted even when he didn't win a title with that Cavs team.  The Magic and Celtics made them pay for that.  The Spurs made the Lakers pay the next season after that .4 mess from Derick Fisher.  Kevin Garnett payed dearly after the Heat formed a new team taking over the east.  

    Goal tending Stephen Curry's high layup and then shoving him a couple seconds later?  What about the time LeBron walked over Draymond himself?  Does that count as taunting?  Oh....no it counts as a "WINDUP" as Jeff Van Gundy blatant exaggeration dictates.  There's even been a couple of games Draymond was ejected for no reason other than being him.  The Bradley Beal altercation and ejection was a testament.  

    Lastly, this is once again SPORTS.  Male Sports.  People want to complain about Greens taunting then go back and say the NBA is soft.  

    ----------------------------

    Moving on: 

    I will not conform into the tribe of collective rage of fans from various teams including Cleveland and Houston.  They have overtaken every general forum on the interwebs to promote their hatred for Green, Curry, Thompson(for whatever reason), Kevin Durant (Especially Kevin Durant) .  These people are out of control and as more people are angry, conformity to that anger extends.  As I've digested this nonsense, only Golden State should be punished and only Golden State has the advantage of officiating on their side.  

    Draymond is leading the playoffs in critical defensive categories while James is leading in almost every offensive category.

    Defensive wins shares

    Defensive Rating 

    Box Plus Minus

    Total Steals 

     

    Draymond is the best defensive player in the playoffs and the best defensive player the past four years.  

    Ah, we're talking about different moments. I was only referring to his girating mockery of LeBron during the foul shots earlier in the game. I have no problem with the celebration that provoked Tristan Thompson. Thompson was upset and let Green's celebration get to him. Totally uncalled-for response.

     

    And I agree, Dray is one of the best defensive players I've ever seen. And I generally don't have a problem with him. I'm just not the type who likes to watch when any player starts trying to "show up" other players. Maybe I'm a kill-joy, but I just like to watch the game, not grown children who for some reason need to stroke their egos in front of millions.

    I'm not going to continue to go back and forth with you Justin. I'm not going to become rattled by your snide remarks. So, you want me to "shut up and dribble"? 

    I've not once even hinted that I wanted you to stop posting. I'm not trying to rattle you. I'm conversing with you. I don't want you to shut up, just to get better at posting sensible things. And if you can still dribble at your age, kudos.

    No its not.  If this guy is getting DEATH THREATS or PEOPLE WISHING HE'D GET STABBED AT A CLUB, I don't blame him for mocking people as they are evil inside and don't see their own evil. 

    As much as I *****ing hate LeBron, I only wish people would beat him at the sport.  Not wish he would get murdered or to get stabbed some****.  That's beyond sports and that's going into the law. That's over the *****ing top and YOU KNOW IT.  

    Once again, taunting is part of professional sports.  Curry Taunts, Harden Taunts, LeBron. Hell, I believe Golden State are the way they are because of this past game winner by LeBron.  I think that's part of the Reason for Curry's MVP the next season.  If you watched in the background while LeBron was taunting, Curry watched that whole thing.  

     

    As I said before, other people being ****ty doesn't magically confer righteousness to Draymond Green's every action. As for that LeBron clip, there's very little comparison. It's still disrespectful in my eyes, because he's directing it out at the fans, but not on Dray's level at all. Draymond's was compounded by directing it at a specific player, the mocking rather than celebratory tone of the act, and the fact that the game was not over.

    Justin, you said that people around here are treating me with kid gloves, well I'll tell them to stop because I can hold my own. You are not going to chase me away by comments like that. And you are not going to control what I say. You, sir, don't know me that well. This is the internet. . . I will not buckle down under no one.

    Carry on!!!

    I hope they do stop with the kid gloves; it's annoying to watch. I don't want to chase anyone away; I just want solid conversation. I don't want to control anyone (not sure where you're getting all this; seriously, I'm just disagreeing with your arguments, not trying to control you). I never claimed to know you; I don't need to in order to understand the words you write. This is indeed an internet forum. That's not what "buckle down" means, but I understand and applaud you're sentiment (so long as it doesn't also mean that you're unwilling to listen to anyone).

     

    My wayward son!!! There'll be peace when you are done!!! Lay your weary head to rest!!! Don't you cry no more!!!

    Nah dude.  Draymond Green gets to talk all he wants because of what is said about him around the league and internet.  Draymond can do no worse than what people have said to him or say about him at all.  Don't get me wrong, Draymond talks ****.  However, humans have directed appalling insults, death threats, wishing he would get stabbed, etc at him. 

    I'm giving him a pass.  Draymond gets to say what he wants. 

    But that's also a terrible argument. Other people are terrible, so he gets to act like a child? Bully's are often bullied by someone else, either at home or wherever. It doesn't make their bullying okay.

    MAKE ME!!! . . .It's Not Going To Happen! And why, because you are giving me orders to do so?

    It was what is called a conditional statement, not an order.

     

    I'm starting to understand the Draymond love, at least. I said "it's only funny to the child," but maybe it's funny to other children as well.

     

    I'm just asking you to look at the situation objectively. You're response is no? I know a lot of people treat you with kid gloves around here, and that's fine. You're generally civil with everyone, so I'm okay with it. But don't take the kid gloves as license to act like a child. It's annoying.

    THIS IS NOT TAUNTING?

    lebron_james_nba_090310_cle-at-lac-05.jp

    Oh, the ever-present argument: "Well, they did it too!!!"

     

    It's a terrible argument, generally made by petty people. If something is unprofessional, it's unprofessional when anyone does it. Draymond Green is a douche. This is known. Stop trying to excuse it.

     

    What Green was doing last night was on the court, during play, and petty. It's offensive because normal people don't tune in to sports to watch grown men act like arrogant children. It's offensive because the 4th best player on the best team in the world taunting the best player in the world in the midst of maybe the greatest losing-effort game in history is disrespectful, not only to that player, but by extension to the fans. It's like watching a bratty child taunt an adult while hiding behind his mother. It's only really funny to the child. It's offensive because it's petty, childish behavior. These are things adults are supposed to have already learned: having fun is great, but having fun at someone else' expense is not okay.

     

    I'm pretty sure you're old enough to know this stuff, too. Take off the GS love and the LeBron hate for a second and you'll see this type of behavior should be frowned on.

     

    (For the record, I hate both GS and the Cavs, pretty much equally; not a LeBron fan or a Draymond Green hater)

    I haven't looked at the replay but if true I just chalk that up to a smart veteran play that refs need to remember next time that happens vs a bad call. 

    Yeah, I don't see how it being a smart veteran play makes it not a foul. Vets know how to get fouls. The refs watch for it, like you said, once they see it in slow-mo; but you still probably call that foul every time in that situation. You're not entitled to all the space you can make with your arms as a defender. Without slow-mo I just don't see how it could be seen that he grabbed Thompson's arm. And if you don't see him obviously do it (because that's part of it being a good vet move, that he didn't telegraph it), it's hard not to call it in that situation. Maybe you let it go on suspicion earlier in the game, but not right there. You no-call a play like that, in that situation, you damn well better be right.

    Ummm yea those articles obviously have editors. People actually thought otherwise? Those things are written flawlessly. 

    Again, that's the only one I've read. If they're all like that, I agree, they have editors. I've heard enough young athletes speak to know that they aren't asked to write a lot of essays.

    I was always under the impression that the players dictated the general ideas and then a writer actually typed it up, fixing grammar and such.  I could be dead wrong on that, just an assumption.  It just seems like all the Players Tribune articles are well-written; you'd have to expect at least occasionally that there would be poorly-written articles if athletes always wrote them, right?

    You could be right. That's the only one I've read from Players Tribune. I'll have to check some others out.

    Like just read this https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/collin-sexton-the-young-bull

    If we're going to look for the "Donovan Mitchell" of this draft isn't that article plus being a two way player plus scoring 40 points in a game against Minnesota (21 after playing 3 on 5) indicative of this year's Donovan Mitchell?

    Maybe that should supercede being streaky shooter, ok passer, good but not elite athlete among NBA players?

    Or maybe it shouldn't. 

    I liked Sexton before. I love him now. I'm obviously biased in this respect, but the ability to write well always speaks of intelligence to me. That is very well written for a kid his age. And the stuff he says about social media... yeah, this just might be my guy. If he can back up that attitude and work ethic in workouts, he's the kind of guy we need.

    Now that I know you're joking, this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Refuting someone's argument by repeating exactly what they just said; showing evidence that backs up everything they're arguing; it's truly comic gold. Seriously, you should do stand-up. Or have a sitcom or something.

    Jameer had 22 lbs on him

    Yeah, the worry (as far as his size) is he won't be able to absorb even minimal contact on the offensive end, which actually is important (almost always, anyway; some exceptionally creative guys get away with being not athletic and also weak, but it's incredibly rare); and on the defensive end he will require the barest of screens to blow him up (and we saw with Payton how bad it can get when your PG can't maneuver screens, albeit for very different reasons).

    Self revealing????????????  Look at Mike1989's post 3 hours ago.  Experts know something on who and where Porter is drafted!!!!!!

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, or why you use so many punctuation marks. You claimed Porter was a Simmons clone. While they are similar in size and play the same position (probably?), their games couldn't otherwise be more different. It's like saying Derrick Rose was a Steve Nash clone. Sure, they were both talented PGs who were about 6-3/185-190 lbs, who won MVPs in their careers; but such a statement of similarity would be basically taking those facts alone and ignoring literally everything else about their games... like you have been doing, somehow using the facts of a scouting report that lists Porter Jr's strengths and weaknesses as basically opposite to Simmons', a statement from Tracy McGrady comparing Porter's game to his own (which was nothing even slightly resembling Simmons'), and now, what? The fact that some experts think Porter will be drafted high? I don't care if he's drafted #1, that doesn't make him a Simmons clone. Come to think of it... are you, like, joking or something? I can't tell. Maybe it's all the unnecessary punctuation. I'm going to assume you're joking. LOL, good one. You got me. Man, I was worried there for a bit.

    I love exclamation points!!!! I am a he who deals in facts and assessments not just opinions with no merit.  Like Simmons as a projected #1 pick, Porter, Jr was also a projected # 1 pick.  Fact!!!  Like Simmons Porter was a SF/PF with some guard like skills.  Fact!!!  Simmons a better ball handler who needed to improve his shooting.  Fact!!!  Porter. Jr a better shooter who needed to improve his ball handling.  FACT!!!  Both projected to be potential offensive initiators!! Fact!!!!  I have no idea about Porter, Jr's injury and it's long term implications.  That is up to the medical folks to determine.  I do not recollect Philly projecting Simmons to be their PG until last summer or Brown of Boston to play SG until this year when they saw their progress and ability.  Porter. Jr may not play PG but may play SG or even point forward.  Until his injury this fall Porter was considered the #1 pick in the 2018 NBA draft.  Fact!!!  If his back injury is over and I think it is he has the skill set to be an All star type player!!!!  And we probably have a .04% chance to get him at #6!!!

    See, this is the problem with people these days: all the information in the world just a Google check away; but no ability to take those facts and apply them logically. I blame public schooling.

    Man, I'm getting sold on him. Just hearing him speak about his relationships with the players, you can see the love and buy-in guys could have for him. For a young team like ours, seems great. 

    Defensive coach but seems to know you have to score to win and everyone has a role. Not everyone is a scorer. 

    Been digging and I'm embarrassed by my initial reaction upon hearing his name. Hoping to find more about his Xs and Os. 

    Interesting info: Trae Young's father is close with Kelvin Sampson and he's part of the reason they moved to OK.

    I'm just confused by all of Original's exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems like he/she/sorry-i-don't-know-you is trying to make an argument that Michael Porter Jr. and Ben Simmons project to be similar players, but I can't tell weather the argument is just wrong, in a normal lack of nuanced understanding of basketball and/or misunderstanding of who Michael Porter Jr. is projected to be sort of way, or if it's WRONG!!!!!!!!!!-LIKE-WAY-WRONG!!!!!-YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH-I'M-GOING-TO-ROLL-WITH-IT-NOW-SO-HARD-THAT-ENTHUSIASM-ALONE-WILL-MAKE-IT-SEEM-LESS-WRONG!!!!!!!!-YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! kind of way.

    Not trying to be an ass but Bamba +  Isaac + Gordon + Sexton would be a nice lineup in 1989

    Not sure it would be, really. Bamba would get murdered in 1989. He's, like, 30 pounds too skinny for 80's ball. Imagine his skinny ass trying to defend Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Hakeen Olajuwan, Moses Malone. Hell, Kevin Duckworth would have mauled him into oblivion in 1989.

    I wouldn't mind us drafting him, as long as it's not the way we drafted Isaac (without even working him out!). I'm always fond of the swing for the fences, which is why I was okay with Mario back in the day, why I wanted DSJ so bad last year, and why I'll likely always want the guy with the potential to be a superstar (at least, when we're picking top 10). As long as our medical staff likes what they see, and his workouts warrant such a high pick, I have no problem with Porter. I feel like there's an equal chance whoever else we get at 6 doesn't pan out for one reason or another.

    Yea, Mo is a pipe dream at this point. I’d be absolutely shocked if he fell out of the top 5. Centers are always valued higher and Bamba physically is one of the best center prospects ever. No way he slides. 

    For what it's worth, NBADraft.net has him at 8 going to Cleveland right now.
