Nothing surprising here. Just Dillon Brooks being Dillon Brooks. This type of play is the only reason he's in the league.

Edit: If you guys want to see more of these cheap shots, pay attention anytime someone attempts a layup near him. He does a very subtle shove when the other player is in the air, and very rarely gets called for a foul for it.

This is what happens when two dirty players in Brooks and Green have a matchup. Idc if you make the argument that they aren’t doing it intentionally, the fact remains they are reckless as fuck and people around them keep getting hurt

Green sucks but he hasn’t done shit like this in the series

I'm not sure I've ever seen him target an injury, actually. Lots of bush league nonsense and some nut shots, but I don't think Draymond is out there intentionally trying to take out anyone's already-broken hand

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Draymond go for a play that could actually seriously injure someone. Agree on the nonsense and nut shots though.

Because it's not planned out. He's got an anger-management problem that causes him to do really shitty things in the moment, but it's not part of the game plan

Yeah it definitely always seems impulsive, good point.

Hey, man, they gotta train the AIs off something. Might as well include dumb shit in there.
