Hey Silver, its shite like this is why no one wants to watch the "lesser" teams on a consistent basis. You have your media and punks like this constantly trashing them at every turn.

You want Silver to fine or suspend Draymond for this?

How hard is it to say something like

"This pelican team is playing well right now but they have a lot to prove in regards to making the post season and competing with the top teams."

It gets the same point but without being a dick. But im expecting too much from a guy that needs a therapy session to play a game.
That's boring, no one would care about that quote.


People care about the other quote and we're talking about it. It's better for the NBA than the coach speak quotes.

Probably not though.

Teams should fear Steph Curry more than this Pelicans team right now.



Hell, if we played the Warriors in a playoff series right now, I highly doubt we win that series. That core knows how to win when it matters...we do not. They would likely figure out how to win that series.

I officially change my mind about what Draymond said.

I care enough about it because unfortunately, Zion isn't fricking motivated enough. For someone that idolized Michael Jordan he has almost no killer instinct. He ain't angry enough all the time out there. I hope he fricking sees this shite and murders every fricking team on the schedule. I know, fricking know for a fact CJ saw that quote and is using it for motivation.

This team getting that dog in them is the last intangible needed to fricking step to being a contender. We are absolutely a 2nd round with the right 1st round matchup team. Nothing more.

I hope Zion changes that narrative.

Please elaborate on this. Other than his skin color bothering you and you're too scared to admit that.

Raymond Green should be mostly worried about his personality disorder and not bunching another guy and getting suspended indefinitely again

Dude frick you. Do some research.

And so, when you look at the word 'owner,' it really dates back to slavery. The word 'owner,' 'master'—it dates back to slavery... we just took the words and we continued to put it to use.

That's just wrong in every which way.

It's like when Zion had that quote a couple of weeks ago saying he "loves this competitive shite" and most Pels fans ate that up, and I'm just sitting here wondering if anyone is actually going to wonder...does he actually love this competitive shite because he doesn't really show it for the most part. You can't only care when the ball is in your hands, not be properly conditioned, be lazy on defense and then tell everyone you live to be competitive compared to these other NBA players.

Please note that for literal years after Draymond said this, his own Twitter bio said he was the "owner" of some company.

In fact, I just checked, it STILL says it today.


Also, Draymond claim the word "owner" dates back to or was coined due to slavery is hilarious and factually incorrect.

First off I love that he said that. It should be running on a loop throughout the Pelicans complex. But to the other posters point, with the embarrassment he has caused the league, do you really think the NBA should be giving this guy a platform during their All Star coverage?

If the Pels had a bunch of rabid dogs on that roster, it might work and have them playing hungry.

They aren't really that though, so who knows how they react to it

Yes because as this thread proves, people seem to really, really care what Draymond says.

Motherfricker is the biggest fake intellectual the league has. I truly hope he gets injured and is forced to retire instead of getting to leave on his terms. He's cancer on and off the court.

I'm guessing Minnesota fans are having a moment with Draymond too.

KAT starting going off in the 2nd half last night, and Draymond said something along the lines of this looks like the KAT of old where he goes for 40, but they're down 20

If he joined the crew of TNT, i'd be sure to not watch that again, just like i don't watch anythign on ESPN when dumbass Kendrick Perkins is talking.
I dont care if he's tryign to stir shite and create controversy to get viewers. I'm here for the basketball, not the soap opera.

Talk about ruining an institution. Inside the NBA is one of the best parts of the league. Adding him, even in place of Kenny, would be awful for fans.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

I'm also sure that more people would watch then stop watching.

I remember when Shaq joined the crew and at first it was rough, and so many said Shaq ruined it and they were done with the TNT show.
