2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

There's gamesmanship, and then there are dick punches.

 

Not sure if you're saying LBJ did not lobby for it or that he's not a great player, but if you're of the former, I offer this from The Fast Break Blog (Adam Lauridsen), something I follow:

"James then spent his post-game press conference passively-aggressively lobbying for a suspension, pushing the NBA to do what he could not do himself: get past Draymond Green.

The victim narrative is a new look for LeBron, and not one that sits well with his “Greatest” self-mythologizing. According to James, “some of the words that came out of [Green’s] mouth were a little overboard.” James immediately characterized the play as one “the League will take a look at.” James then descended into talk about how “the chips have been stacked up against us all year.”"

IMHO he was lobbying for a suspension to take Draymond off the court.

 

I'm really quite shocked you feel this way.

 

Sorry but facts are facts. Those are his words.

 

He's rowing alone out to LeBron is Garbage Island.

 

Hitting somebody in the dick is quite justifiably labeled a flagrant foul. This is the third time this playoffs Draymond has hit somebody in the dick. Draymond is suspended because of Draymond, not because LeBron lobbied for it.

I understand your Warriors fandom makes it painful to see one of your best players suspended, but presumably you've watched enough Warriors games to see that Draymond Green is a dick.

 

Inadvertent contact with the crotch area in an attempt to rise from the ground as another player impeded his ability to get into position to perform.

 

I'm going to hope you're joking in calling it inadvertent, but I'll leave this here just in case you're serious: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/meanwhile-an-update-on-draymond-green-1781803795

 

He's basketball Baron, ignore him.

 

Like Greens kick to Adams junk was all part of the shooting process.

 

Honestly there are a lot of Warriors fans headed to Patriots fanboi douche territory. "Us Against The World" has gone way too far. You saw it this year when they were rising up against THE DOUBTERS!!!! who consisted of Doc Rivers (archrival coach) and a bunch of crotchety old guys who don't think Steph Curry could hold Gail Goodrich's jockstrap.

qtlaw in particular took great offense to James noting that the Warriors were healthy last season.

Lots of crying about the officiating pretty consistently out here too, as if the Warriors haven't benefited from superstar calls.

 

I do like that THIS is what gets the old heads to come out and defend the Warriors. All they needed to do all along was punch dicks!
