Re: 11/29 - 12/5 Games Discussion Thread
Didn't guys like Rodman and Ben Wallace used to do that **** back in the day or am I tripping?
This type of thing happens more than we think it does in the league. May not happen with every single team, but it's not just limited to one team or one person like we think.#RespectTheCultureComment

Lol, theres premeditated and intentional..We're not brushing it off as saying that's what he does.
People here are saying they don't think he's going into a game with the thought process of "Hmmm, let's see who I can kick in the face"(which is basically what "Intentional" means") like teapot is saying. People are too quick to paint that man as the NBA version of Vontaze Burfict and even I think his rep is overblown by folks.
I don't think MWP went into that game a couple years back saying, 'I'm going to elbow James Harden in the head after an inbound' ...but I think we can all agree that was intentional.
but to your point, I didn't say any one here was brushing it off- much like no one here said he was Burfict...its just pretty much calling a spade a spade. He's gotta stop kicking people...(for his and his teams sake anyway)Comment

Premeditated and Intentional are pretty much one in the same, if I'm not mistaken...but that's beside my point here.Lol, theres premeditated and intentional..

And I still didn't think Artest did it on purpose. Said it at the time when it happened too but I also knew that he had to miss games because you couldn't have guys out there elbowing dudes with no consequence, especially with all the Concussion Talk that was just starting to ramp up at the time.#RespectTheCultureComment

I don't believe it's intentional personally...
but quirk, flail, whatever you want to call it, you can't continue kicking guys and say 'Oh that's just what Draymond does'. This isn't a league wide issue they're just singling Dray out on.
It's just something he's going to have to try and control.
This so my thoughts 100%
I don't believe he's doing it on purpose, but damn he's kicked people like 10 times in just the past couple months of basketball. Intentional or not I think it's something he's going to start getting warning for and he'll have to keep a mental note of it.
Otherwise, if continued, it needs to consistently be a foul. Sometimes players unintentionally jump over the back for a rebound, throw an elbow on a drop step, land under a shooter trying to contest, etc. They'll have to start calling something. Accidental fouls happen, you can't just allow him to kick people.

This 4th quarter is the reminder I needed that I am indeed watching a Knicks game."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
