Draymond Greens takedown at the end of the game

[Jpayne7787]

Will he get suspended for manhandling poor Beasley at the end of the game? That was really unnecessary.

Nope, did you see him truck Marcus Smart like a linebacker? He had no intention of setting a pick he just wanted to demolish him total dirty play and nothing happened

[IronMonkey415]

I hope so, the looks he had in his eyes was the look of a mad man.

[jcardstore]

If this was anybody on the Cavs the entire board would be up in arms about how dirty of a play it was and how he should be fined and suspended but all I see are crickets now.

[spurs50fan]

I just saw it on twitter. Already saw the Smart move.

Wow

I will say he has no fear of being penalized

I did, tho I thought he got fined for it but maybe I'm wrong, I don't mind playing a little rough or even a bit dirty, but these are just head scratching stupidity.

He never got fined for it, nobody said a word. It's just annoying how he gets treated differently because he's on the Warriors. If that was the other way around and it was Beasley throwing Green the internet might have exploded

Yah the Warriors are being babied by the NBA. It's almost as bad as Lebron at his peak.

The entire board would be up in arms in 6 minutes? Isn't it a little early for you to be out? Trolls usually like to hide till it's dark out.

The play didn't happen 6 minutes ago it happened last night so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

6 minutes since the thread happened. Nobody probably cared because nobody noticed it, I didn't.

[spurs50fan]

I guess people in Houston are waking up from their celebration. Starting to see the Bogut arm pull on Dwight everywhere. That may actually lead to a suspension. What the hell happened between these two teams?

They do play in the Bay Area (drum roll please)

[Andy5]

From that Vine, it looks like he holds Beasley and lowers him to the floor. Unnecessary but not as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

And that Bogut arm pull on Dwight was nothing.

Seriously, people complain the NBA is soft yet call these plays dirty?

LOL

Both were flagrant fouls. Draymond and Igudala get away with these moves all the time.

Bogut made no play on the ball and could have pulled Howard's arm out of its socket.

Its similar to how Love got injured last season.

GSW fans need to take off the goggles, it needs cleaning

[Andy5]

From that Vine posted above, yes I'm serious. He swings him around then catches Beasley as he falls. Maybe another angle will show something different but from that one, it didn't look as though Beasley hit the floor hard because Green was holding him.

Not a Warriors fan at all, I'm all in for the Spurs to win it actually.

They probably do get away with it, I don't take notice much. Perhaps many players in the league get away with it too, but since this is the best team, they get more of the spotlight.

It was a smart foul from Bogut except that it put him in foul trouble. Should he have allowed Dwight an easy dunk? Any other player would've done the same thing.

Does it matter how hard he hits the floor? The fact is that he tried to body slam him for no reason. There's no place in the game for cheap crap like this

Either way.....you can't do that :)

Whether or not he gently applied the take down, he took a player out who could have received the inbound. Hopefully that was the reason that horrid inbound pass was made.

Who is holding whos arm in that battle?

[imbluestreak23]

I like it! Bout time we get to see some 90's esque physicality. I'm getting sick of seeing these players kiss and make up at the end of playoff games, knowing that they are going home to their millions regardless of a win. This passion and anger is very refreshing.

It looks like Beasley is the one holding on and not letting go.

Yea, and he threw Draymond to the ground too.

[BGT Masters]

How about Bogut's arm bar on dwight Howard ala Kelly Olynyk but Boguts was worse. Warriors are a great team but they have been babied a lot the last couple weeks. The league gave them the 73 win record.

[Orangejello727]

Do you know what happens when you cling on to something while its moving? It drags you along. Ill give you all day to figure it out.

Warriors will bounce back and move on. I think many are upset because they dont want to see the Warriors succeed.

[Andy5]

You really think he tried to body slam him?

I agree with both of you in that it was unnecessary. But people made it out like he swung him to the ground like a rag doll. He was holding on to Beasley who was trying to get away from him. That's it. There really isn't too much in it and if the ball was thrown to Beasley then I'm certain a foul would've been called on Green.

Here's a better quality Vine: https://vine.co/v/iFVIDY7a0l7

Literally nobody agrees with you, but i'm sure you're used to that. Even the people defending Draymond don't agree with you which is hilarious

[Orangejello727]

I wonder why beasley doesnt have both hands in the air whaling around? Maybe because he is using it to hold dray.

Put yourself in Boguts position. Dwight just got the offensive rebound and you're out of position. Do you let him go up for an easy dunk or do you try to foul him and send him to the line? Any player in that position would've done the same thing Bogut did.

Has the NBA become so soft now that the fans have to label every play a dirty one?

[tennelson55]

was this from ealier on in the series?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SJ760aVFiI
i guess draymond likes the physical game. at least i can respect it. things on the basketball court are never justified and you make the best of it. there isn't any harm here either, but it is a foul. refs are going to be calling fouls next game (they missed a lot this game)

Draymond Green is a douche.

No one has roughed up the Warriors. Look how bent out of shape Curry was when Beverly was physically harassing him in Game 1.

Someone needs to keep rattling the cage and see how the Warriors respond.

I wish this board were around in the days of Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn....you guys wouldn't know what to do with yourselves...

I was. Even before those days, lol.

The NBA has undoubtedly changed. My point is that if teams want to beat the Warriors, why not give them a taste of their own medicine. That Beasley play was at the end of the game? That's stupid on both players part. However, if I'm Beasley next game I give him a hard screen or box out.

[Orangejello727]

If we were playing in the 90s or 80s that would have been totally acceptable and nobody would be upset. Guess what, something truly amazing, WE'RE NOT IN THE 80s OR 90s anymore!

We're in a different NBA and play like this isn't acceptable anymore. Seems like some of you are a couple decades behind

[Pastretta]

Looks like Draymond has a future plan to join the WWE:coffee:

Lebron vs Stanley Johnson has been fun to watch as well. Lebron cries like a baby every time Stanley stands his ground.

[jcardstore]

and goes 6-6 while he's being guarded while crying. Some serious multi-tasking there

[tjforce]

Lebron vs Stanley Johnson has been fun to watch as well. Lebron cries like a baby every time Stanley stands his ground.

If by 'cries like a baby' you mean 'drains 3-pointers in his face', then yes.

LeBron is shooting 60% and averaging 24.5 points through the first two games of the series, so he seems to be handling it O.K.

No, what I mean is when he doesnt get what he wants, he looks over to the ref to ask for a sympathy foul/call. Ummm like after every single play.

[xavieronly1]

EXACTLY!!!

[yiguiri2002]

It wasn't as bad as it is made to be. I'll say, worst case scenario, a flagrant 1 and a small fine.

The Bogut one was on a whole other level. That was a dangerous foul, even though it didn't look as bad. He was basically arm-locking Howard! NBA has to realize that those type of fouls are very dangerous and start acting on them.

[MavsRChamps]

From that Vine, it looks like he holds Beasley and lowers him to the floor. Unnecessary but not as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

And that Bogut arm pull on Dwight was nothing.

Seriously, people complain the NBA is soft yet call these plays dirty?

I agree, as weird as it sounds it does look like he "lowers him to the floor" (drops him) as opposed to pushing him to the floor ... And even if he did push him to the floor, that's not that bad, lol ... Players push off each other all the time ...

The video looks worse for some reason because it's edited a bit (you never see Beasley actually fall to the ground).

[drobfan8]

This is a foul at worst in the first quarter.

Not much to worry about.

[advan24r]

Draymond has been assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the last second slam on Beaseley

I agree they get tangled up and it appears he is about to toss him to ground but he ends of just slowly lowering him. It seemed like he wanted to slam him but then mid slam realized it was the playoffs and a bad idea so he caught himself.

[Orangejello727]

You can say that Lebron cries all day long for non-calls. But to say that Stanley Johnson stands in Lebron's ground, it is just nonsense.


Did you even watch the last game? Stanley Johnson was playing Lebron hard. There was no kneeling to the king done. I don't know if english is lost in translation here but let me rephrase it for you since I think you got what I typed all wrong.

Stanley played Lebron well. He didn't play soft and tasked Lebron. I wouldn't say lebron rolled over stanley. Thats what you and that cardstore guy with garbage feedback are saying. Both of you are on me because its me saying it. 2 other people in this thread state that it wasn't a throw down and yet you are mum. Obviously just to attack me for the sake of attacking me.

[jcardstore]

It's pretty pathetic that the only thing you can resort to is calling me the guy with garbage feedback lol. Btw LeBron did roll over him he went a perfect 6-6 from the field can't get any better than that lol

[Orangejello727]

LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers shrug off physical play by Stanley Johnson, Detroit Pistons (http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2016/story/_/id/15304351/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-shrug-physical-play-stanley-johnson-detroit-pistons)

What if ESPN said stanley played him hard. Would you atleast believe them?

[jcardstore]

Playing him hard means nothing if lebron goes perfect from the field

[oldgoldy97]

I like you.

Anyways none of this matters to the thread topic anyways so go ahead and continue I'm out of this one

The NBA has changed, yes. I wasn't old enough to witness the 80's and most of the 90's but even I know this play isn't as bad as what people and the media (especially) are making it out to be.

Draymond has been assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the last second slam on Beaseley

What a stupid move by the NBA. Soft as butter.

[spurs50fan]

What a stupid move by the NBA. Soft as butter.


While I agree, it's the same soft NBA that allows players to move around the perimeter unimpeded, allows them to dance around and show off their moves, allows players the space to shoot 11 3s and/or FTs a game, avoids rough and over aggressive play, makes it ok for a player to sit instead of wrapping an ankle up. All allowing records to be broken at a faster pace (youngest to, quickest to). So it's sort of a "what do the fans want" question because it seem they like the softness. As much as they whined when Horry hip checked Nash, imagine if someone did that to Curry today? :confused:

[bdoody42]

Basically its Lebron fans vs Curry fans.... We get it
