Draymond Green took an elbow to the face during last night's game and the refs refused to blow the play dead
... because everyone knows Draymond's a bully!
The article has a tweet with video of some of his punching, kicking, etc. There's a second tweet that shows the elbow and Draymond going down in the paint. His teammates keep on playing 5 on 4 and the refs swallow their whistles for a couple of trips up an down the court. Must see TV!!
Play dumb games, win dumb prizes!

High five to the refs.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:45 PM ^
I refuse to feel bad for the dirtiest player in the game
February 15th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
The refs and his teammates agree!
February 15th, 2024 at 8:12 PM ^
He is, but nothing on this pos. Dirtiest player of all time. This is when the nba was actually good. This is just one highlight of the biggest pos in sports doing all he was good for. He didnt want that smoke from DC though.

Since that wasn’t a Laimbeer video, I have to disagree.

Hey Mineral King: I just posted a note to you on the Moderator Sticky thread.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:46 PM ^
A pro Draymond post probably ain't gonna be very popular here.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:49 PM ^
I don't think it's a pro-Draymond post. I think it's a just desserts post.
Having said that, Draymond jumped into Zubac's elbow. The refs were right not to call anything.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:54 PM ^
Just desserts is correct. His own teammates didn’t stop to see if he was ok. And, the refs are supposed to blow the whistle if there is an injury. NOBODY CARES THAT HE’S HURT and I find that hilarious. 😂
I had a hard time seeing the “elbow” in the video. Then he’s off to the showers.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:05 PM ^
I had a hard time seeing the “elbow” in the video.
Yup, he flopped like a soccer player. I think he had twin Freddie P. Soft's, one standing on each shoulder, chirping at him to take a dive and writhe around in agony for 30 seconds.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:18 PM ^
lots of skim milk. lots.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:55 PM ^
indeed. time to T-up green's upper lip and give the elbow two free throws and the ball out of bounds.
February 16th, 2024 at 10:25 AM ^
The contact didn't even look that bad. Classic case of "can dish it, can't take it."
That said, something is wrong in that dude's head.
EDIT: maybe it wasn't called because he has literally done the exact same thing before earlier in the season

Can we a get a countdown for the number of days until OT season is over?
February 15th, 2024 at 11:02 PM ^
Who wore jersey #196?
February 15th, 2024 at 7:48 PM ^
Did he jump up and kick somebody in the dick?
February 15th, 2024 at 7:50 PM ^
Refs should have stopped the game to see if the elbow was fine.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:18 PM ^
And that the floor where he landed was not a biohazard
February 16th, 2024 at 9:57 AM ^
They should have assessed him a 3-second violation once GS got the ball back. That would have been funny.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:58 PM ^
They could've at least put some road cones around him.
February 15th, 2024 at 7:59 PM ^
Puss is usually green or white or a combination of both.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
Green is the dirtiest player in the history of the NBA. And I say that having watched Bruce Bowen try to injure guys for years. Glad he’s getting treatment especially on a pretty obvious flop.
He used to be very skilled and fit well with what the Warriors wanted to do, but he’s overshadowed all of that with his dirty play he will forever be remembered for being dirty first and foremost.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
Bowen's dirty play was unique, and reminded me of when I reffed the Old Timer's League here in town. And there's always that one old guy who's still fast & wiry, while the other guys are slow. And he's constantly pulling the chair, undercutting, jumping up yelling "dead" in the old codger's face until he inevitably gets decked. Just constantly in your personal space.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:09 PM ^
I have no sympathy for Draymond. None.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
Can't believe the refs avoided an opportunity for a lengthy video review & excuse to air a bunch of commercials!
February 15th, 2024 at 8:27 PM ^
I think this befits the description.. “I couldn’t care less.”
February 15th, 2024 at 8:31 PM ^
Poetic justice 👍😊
February 15th, 2024 at 8:39 PM ^
LMAO!!! That was fun to watch!
February 15th, 2024 at 8:42 PM ^
Are there any other sites reporting this? NTB is the non-satire side of the Babylon Bee, now infamous for inflammatory political trash.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:07 PM ^
Dude, you must be a blast at parties. Its a funny clip! Who cares the source!
February 15th, 2024 at 11:04 PM ^
And Babylon bee is hilarious, regardless of the political side it leans.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:47 PM ^
I recall reading izzo has players practice in football shoulder pads and go hard in some rebounding drill to generate toughness.
February 16th, 2024 at 6:46 AM ^
Because wearing pads to protect your soft skin makes you tuff.
Ryan Day approves this message...

He flopped like a European soccer player.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:50 PM ^
The fact his teammates didn't call a TO and instead nearly landed on him after a dunk makes it even funnier.
But yeah, it sorta looked like a flop and then instead of getting up he tried to flop around for a foul and at this point he's no longer good enough of a player for people to even put up with his act. Glad he got a tiny bit of comeuppance for his history.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:52 PM ^
Good.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:10 PM ^
sawft
February 15th, 2024 at 10:26 PM ^
Good. Fuck that bitch. Refs should never call a single foul in his favor for the rest of his career.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:39 PM ^
Team "culture" seems strong. They were careful not to trip over him so that was nice. Only thing better would be the ball blasting him from his teammates' dunk.
February 16th, 2024 at 10:15 AM ^
No, no, he is the one that does the ball blasting.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:49 PM ^
Still not good enough, someone should have field goal kicked him in the dick while he was on the ground
February 15th, 2024 at 10:59 PM ^
Me sowing: Haha yeah!! Yes!!
Me reaping: Well this sucks
February 15th, 2024 at 11:03 PM ^
The only negative from this is that his nose is still intact.
February 15th, 2024 at 11:19 PM ^
Man that highlight reel of his dirty play should be enough to get him punched in the face repeatedly
February 15th, 2024 at 11:36 PM ^
This is the only GS highlight worth seeing. Curry is from another planet:
February 16th, 2024 at 12:01 AM ^
Lmfao a "shot to the face"? More like, Draymond flopped for no reason and everyone else, including his own fucking team, played on.
February 16th, 2024 at 10:27 AM ^
He legit got hit in the jaw, but it wasn't that bad of a hit. No reason to lie on the ground crying in pain for half a minute. Total flop.
February 16th, 2024 at 12:17 AM ^
Perfect opportunity to call a technical for embellishment
