You're being hypocritical when it comes to Draymond. He stomped on him
Idk if Draymond should’ve gotten a full game.
Wish the NBA did something like College football where if you get ejected, you get “suspended” for the 1st half next game, but not full game.
You are a clown bro .for thinking green should not have been thrown away from the game and suspended
Look, I agree with your point that Dray should not be suspended for game 3. Theres too much at stake and like you said, there were two dirty plays in that incident (Sabonis should've got a flagrant 1 for unnecessary contact). However, Dray put himself in a position to get ejected/suspended by exaggerating the stomp (unnecessary and excessive) PLUS his histrionics with the crowd while Sabonis was on the ground in obvious pain. You could see from lip-reading that he was taunting the fans and no one is stopping him. plus Silver is right there watching. It was a bad look for the league and although I don't agree with the suspension given the basketball circumstances, I understand why he had to be suspended.
When was Sabonis ever accused of playing dirty?
While your hero Greenn have a notorious record of dirty play
Draymond is a non factor… they will probably play better without him
Anyone ever almost fall when putting pants on or a sock? To ke it was much of nothing
Ejection is fair especially since Sabonis got a f1 which was needed. Suspension is way too far and way to interfering
Is there a way to edit out all the “ummmmm” that you say every other sentence??????
I hate that you say he was a human wrecking ball. That's not what it looks like. They are fighting for the rebound and he falls down. Pretty sure he takes as many hits as he dishes out.
If Sabonis has to sit out because of injury, it is more than just a mildly dirty play. This is so disingenuous. You also forget that Adam Silver was present when it happened. Fouling like that combined with the antics while he was present was not a smart move. Draymond has nobody to blame but himself.
Soo deluded
Your first bad take my friend
"he has a little bit of a history of some basketball… Non-basketball plays."
I'm sure Draymond's Mom and lawyer would make the same argument 😂😂
Draymond 100% deserved that suspension. I kind of get where you're coming from. But you're just wrong. I don't think you're bias because Draymond works on the Volume. I just think this Warriors team is an enormous blind spot for you and has been for an entire season.
What is EXACTLY Draymond's history because if we're talking about the Steven Adams and LBJ incident from 2016 then isn't that past the statue of limitations, in addition, to him already receiving punishments for those incidents in 2016, also, if that was the premise then shouldn't Draymond have received some notifications or warning beforehand ….so he's double punished for being BLACK…. let's keep it real. Where's the Player Union on this one????, I'm cool with the ejection but Sabonis shoulda receive an ejection for a non-basketball play and for LYING about it, saying he was trying to protect him when he clearly almost had a ankle lock that COULD HAVE injury Draymond and taken out the series..this is another form of racism in the form of unequal economic sanctions/financial buck breakers for Black athletes. 💯
Calling what Draymond did a "Mildly Dirty play" is why people think you're running interference for him. No reasonable person can look at that play and tell me that what Draymond did wasn't reckless and dangerous. If you want to say Sabonis instigated it I'll concede that. I don't even agree with that, but I'll concede the point. Even with that being the case Draymond took things to an entirely different level and crossed the line. Period. If what Draymond did isn't crossing the line then I have no clue where your line is. You said you didn't like Dillon Brooks because he intentionally tries to injure people. I agree with that. But when Draymond does the exact same shit where he is very clearly trying to hurt Sabonis you don't have the same energy. Sabonis "starting it" is a justification a toddler would use.
Okay Sabonis didn’t try to gator roll draymond 😂 no way that’s the narrative
You said you would be looking to see how the celtics played defense starting the playoffs. If they would be just as locked in as last season…
How about Draymond this year punching his own teammate Poole…..NBA leadership does not care about their decisions impacting outcomes. Suspension was legit for someone like Draymond. He has been fined 1.2 million, he is the most suspended player in ten years. Get it right. He will lose probably another 10-20 million when Warriors do not keep him in contract….
Jason love you but hard disagree with your dreymond take. That was initially as f and railing the crowd with the Adam Silver there and the PR later all was making it was worse
Lol bruh. He stomped on the mans chest. Its Draymond Green. All this acting like it wasnt intentional is funny as hell
I think NBA needs to start a POLL and let the fans decide.
Thank God you not the referee or the commissioner because it NBA would turn into WWE.. Draymond deserved to be suspended.. Repeat offender and its not a little bit of history.. Its a lot of history at key moments.. Good riddance 🤣🤣🤣cry more
Lol bruh you are going to be so wrong when the clippers close out the Sun's in 6.. Your take has been an absolute joke so far regarding this series but I digress,, keep that laker bias going
The refs deserve some blame. Before the stomp, the refs were letting Sabonis get away with some dirty stuff.
Jason saying being authentic is the identity of the show is hilarious. The identity of his show is pandering to Lakers and Warriors fans telling them what they want to hear. If he actually believes the things he says, then his basketball mind isn’t worth listening to
If the Warriors are truly great, they will win without DG. Gruzzlies is good example of how to adapt and win!
algorithmic
Draymond has a good kick game, graple game and I'm sure poole would say his boxing is pretty good too… Seems like his past punishments have made an impact on his behavior, for sure. What exactly are you defending?
Sabonis never twisted his ankle, the hell are you talking about, stop defending someone who constantly gets himself in trouble by getting ejected 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The Volume losing cred over this Draymond issue.
I'm not biased, says the biased mfker
Can’t be 7 years ago if he did something last year in the Memphis series against Brandon Clark
How dare sabonis try to cover his head after smashing it on the court 😡😡😡
suns winning and you spend 7 mins talking about it but when lac won game 1 you didn't even bother to talk about it intensively. it only took u 4 mins to discuss clippers' win in game 1. it is pretty obvious you're not professional enough to set aside your preference and just be an analyst straight up.
Started the year punching out his own teammate…..no recent history
This is where Jason Timpf's career is gonna die, he's gonna die on this hill until the warriors get eliminated and break up and fall into obscurity
Players grab each other all the time – jerseys, arms, legs, etc – Draymond more so than most. How often have we actually seen another player do what Draymond did? These are insane takes saying "play on" and "the league over reacted." I don't know how this guy Jason can be so good at breaking down the game but so lost with his take on this issue.
OK Im going to start to blame the nation tv broadcast for these takes. maybe your version didnt show dray screaming at the crowd while Adam silver was there. that was the final straw. dray reminded me of King Kong screaming like that
I’m so sick of ppl talking about him punching Poole. DO YALL NOT KNOW PLAYERS FIGHT ALLLLLLLLL THE TIIIIIIMMMMEEEEE.Grow a pair youre too sensitive. It’s a physical sport DUHHHHHHHH
