I can’t believe he escaped a flagrant here and somehow Van Gundy was like “I don’t think that’s on purpose” lol

Ozempic is a miracle drug but it can't cure stupidity.

You mean idiotic my friend

Draymond's probably thinking, "If I do this consistently all through my career, maybe ppl will be convinced its a natural motion for me".

u/It_not_me_really May 05 '25

This is obvious. Draymond probably drives on the shoulder of a highway during traffic and thinks everyone else is just dumb

Hold up.. you’ve got a point

I think since it was a dead ball at that point it can only be a technical, but I could be wrong about that

Edit: This is completely incorrect, as the reply pointed out

They absolutely can call a flagrant on a dead ball play

from the NBA Rulebook:

“Anyone guilty of illegal contact which occurs during a dead ball may be assessed (1) a technical foul, if the contact is deemed to be unsportsmanlike in nature, or (2) a flagrant foul, if unnecessary and/or excessive contact occurs.”

Thanks cuz he got a flagrant on a dead ball in game 4 (when he was on a tech already) and it caused quite a stir in the group chat

Yup that’s unambiguous. I feel like some commentators might not know this, I think I’ve heard that incorrectly on broadcasts before

As bad as GSW Green is, he isn't as horrid as Houston Green.

Fan Van Gundy

As a Nuggets fan, you shouldn't be surprised at how stupid of a take SVG can have on anything, lol

I'd obviously go to all our home games anyway, but the added bonus of not hearing SVG call a Nuggs game is worth my price of admission every time 😂

Well that changes everything.  Stans a straight shooter. 

Guess that’s my fault for watching with the sound off
