Your take is wrong, as usual. It was reasonable for Poole to push him when he got in his face. The punch was bull shitt. He doesn’t get a pass bc he’s a bball player. He was wrong and he’s lucky not to get arrested fined benched and sued.
Lol @ this, why should Poole expect to get falcon punched by his own teammate in practice after that light shove? Draymond doesn't even go around punching opposing players when he gets involved in shoving and pushing matches on the regular in games, and he certainly didn't respond with a punch when Tristan Thompson slapped him in public. Boneyarders who live in these wonderbread towns suddenly pretending they know how how fighting works are comedy. Why are you guys acting like y'all are going around your neighborhood Whole Foods and Trader Joes knocking people out and taking their shoes and socks?
I don't know. Maybe if you're on the streets of NYC you should expect a punch. But from a teammate during practice just because you tried to shove someone away from your face? I don't think anyone expects to receive a punch like that from a teammate during practice. Way out of line.
You beat me to it! I just had the same reaction.
So because it's happened before, like 30 years ago no less, makes it something a player should expect? And acceptable? I'm sure there are skirmishes in practice a lot. But 99.9999% of the time it doesn't lead to something like that. I'm not even sure where you're coming from with this.
I think you are giving Draymond a pass because Poole pushed him away. That’s because Green got up in his face and tried to intimidate him. I could see Green pushing him back, but leveling him was over the top. This isn’t a playground game of 9th and 10th graders. These are pros with the full staff present. There has to be an expectation of decency and respect. Poole pushed him because Draymond had already crossed a professional line. Also, this wasn’t a heat of competition situation. This is Draymond finding 10 seconds of free time and deciding to use it by harassing Poole. He’s a punk and he should pay for it.
Seems like you’re a full on Draymond apologist.
I ask a serious question and you make an assumption. Obviously you can’t get over your thoughts on Draymond. If you feel like you can actually answer my question...feel free. If not, don't waste keystrokes.
People still get in fights, people get in fights all the time. This whole, the days of fights/throwing punches/bad behavior are over because we're an elevated society now are so outlandish, yet I keep hearing people say it.
Listen to guys in sports and the people who cover them, this stuff happens all the time currently. We only really hear about it if there's tape like this or a player gets seriously hurt. Jordan Poole was perfectly fine physically after the punch and was back on the court practicing.
Arrested fined and sued? I assume you said the same thing about Bobby Portis punching his teammate and getting suspended for 8 games… or you missed that one?
Without video we'll never know the exact nature of the events but from this description Mirotic was described as the aggressor.
You’re thick
THAT explains it
W t f!
