dang - thought I clicked on “Submit new thread” a while back - guess not. I was hoping to put behind me all this [shit](http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2016/12/02/7-times-draymond-green-kicked-someone-on-a-basketball-court/94795368/)(especially his _twice_ bagging Jeff Shaw in the _same fucking play-off series_), but more recent goofiness [here (scroll down for vid)](http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/02/golden-state-warriors-draymond-green-kick-kicking-blake-griffin-clippers-video) tells me this fucker is _still_ fucked up. (Meaning - his dingbattery won’t be going away anytime soon, probably fair to say?) (uh, _yyyyyeah_, probably) While it’s obvious he’s valuable to the team, attested by [this (unfortunately goes up to only May of last year but you get the idea)](http://2kmtcentral.com/16/players/9021/draymond-green), I’m having a difficult time letting his elite quality as a player preclude a what complete fucking headcase he is, as evidenced by (shit I wish I could find a link for it) his ridiculous-looking mouth-breathing catatonia attack at a post-game with Durant last season, and his FUCKING HORSESHIT weasely explanation for his kicking proclivities [here](https://thekicker.com/draymond-finally-explains-groin-kicks-i-was-motivating-them/). Seriously - can you think of _ANY_ other players who pull, weird, fucked-up shit like this, so consistently? All that comes to mind is wierdo Demarcus Cousins’s mouthguard spitting at a bench. Certainly never seen a player kick at someone. And are Warriors fans “normalised” to this, then? ---

Instantly put Grayson Allen right up there with Christian Laettner on my list of reasons why I hate Duke University basketball. I saw the exact same move done in a UNLV hockey game last month, btw. I think it was vs. NAU. The officials didn’t see it, but those of us in the bleachers sure did. ---

> [@markdash](#): > > Still trying to figure out who Jeff Shaw is… holy flying fucking Jesus how I managed to somehow mix up the name Stephen Adams with Jeff Shaw is so completely beyond me, like JESUS. Pardon me while I curl up into a fucking ball. I don’t know any Jeff Shaw, and I even fucking googled “Jeff Shaw” to see if there’s anyone who might have made me mix him up for SA, and, other than the former MLB reliever, _no one_ would’ve triggered that gaffe. HUH. uh, OOPS? This Draymond wing-dingery is getting infectious. > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I saw the exact same move done in a UNLV hockey game last month, btw. I think it was vs. NAU. The officials didn’t see it, but those of us in the bleachers sure did. I’m guessing a player was on the ice, and then stuck his leg out to trip someone? ETA - If that’s the case - so ridiculously dangerous, with skates. Glad I’ve never seen that on the NHL level. ---

Yeah, I’ve reluctantly( because I’m a Warriors fan )come to the conclusion that his “heart” stems as much from being an occasionally-out-of-control headcase as anything else. I’d still on average rather have his version of nuttery to say, DeMarcus Cousins, because Boogie’s petulance and temper tantrums seem to hurt his team with more regularity. One thing about Green - he lives to win and he works hard, _always_. Guy is just a monster on the floor and he isn’t usually a diva about it. But his bullshit was almost certainly the number one reason the Warriors lost the championship last year. And I do worry that eventually his unending jawing will wear out some of his co-workers. In general he doesn’t seem to be a locker room cancer, probably because he is willing to be a team player/sublimate himself to win and he has a sense of humor, both of which can generate a lot of good will. But even if he is _right_, getting constantly bitched at because you messed up on something will wear on anyone’s nerves after awhile. ---

Glad I’ve never seen that on the NHL level. Nope; it was a quick flick with the stick as a UNLV player tried to get in position for a face-off. From then on, the bleachers were screaming for blood every time that guy was on the ice. He ended up in a scrum around the net in the 3rd period and went face first into the goal, dislodging it. His team lost that game, too. No one felt sorry for him. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Nope; it was a quick flick with the stick as a UNLV player tried to get in position for a face-off. Oh, so it was between whistles - hilarious. I’m guessing it happened on the wing, behind the ref’s back, just as the ref was commencing to drop the puck. Fights, of course, can often happen before a face-off, but tripping…I can recall that done only once in the NHL - Tom Lysiak of the Black Hawks back in the 70s. I’m guessing there were no linesmen - to miss something as freaky as a pre-face-off tripping would be pretty whack. ---

And speaking of whack - Kyrie Irving thinks the earth is flat. I know that’s more an off-court thing (which is why I didn’t comment on the official-befriending, Madonna-bagging, diplomat to North Korea "psycho problem child” Rodman), but I felt that beared (bore?) mentioning anyway. derail - I’m annoyed how Jakob Poeltl looks like Blake Griffin’s kid brother. ---
