    We don’t know the whole story, maybe there was a racial slur.

    How could TMZ get that footage except from the team? Either they wanted it out as a prelude to having justification for getting rid of Draymond or somebody is gonna lose their job for leaking it.

    He's lucky he didn't punch Poole's head into the wall. It was vicious. He needs to be suspended for that shit.

    Now that the video's out, there's no way the Warriors can sweep this under the rug and handle it internally.

    I don't care, a racial slur should not justify physical violence, certainly not a sucker punch. We have to stop giving substance to inane words. Believe you me, I've had many directed my way.

    He intentionally kicked a player in the dick during a playoff game. How much respect did you have for him?

    IMHO, if someone of LBJ's ilk and mindset is standing over me, lording over me like that, yeah I'm getting physical to get him the f**k off me. So that wasn't as bad IMHO.

    When you say "he intentionally kicked a player in the nuts" without any context, yeah it sounds pretty bad. But it wasn't like a sucker punch to someone's crotch. LBJ shares blame in that scenario.

    I'm talking about Steven Adams. You giving another example of him hitting a player's genitals isn't doing Draymond any favors.

    Need a paid vacation from work? Punch a coworker. Seriously, this is a stupid story. I bet this shit happens all the time.
