    I've got to be in the extreme minority here. I love that he had CP3's back but he went overboard, in my opinion. I may be wrong, but I think he'll get suspended a game.

    I love GG. He is always ready to stand up for his teammates. Great passion and fire! I don't mind the way he reacted. He is 10th-11th man and we need a no BS enforcer

    Obviously, team that show restraint always get the benefits.

    I was thinking the same thing. If he is suspended, hope it's just one game.

    I like that he had CP3's back - should have been a lighter push, and not into the stands, then he wouldn't have been in trouble. But he was just trying to protect his teammate, so he didn't have much time to think about it.

    He shouldnt have been thrown out at all. Gorgui should have been thrown as well he pushed CP3 down first

    Pushed a bit too hard but I like the chemistry. Good for GG that MDA wasn't going to play him anyways since JJ will be available (if he does get a suspension lol)

    If Dieng shoved CP3 again, I'd want GG to do the same thing. No regrets.

    Posters are peeved because it gave the T-Wolves "energy" but that's the wrong mindset. You can't let them punk you and get away with it. You back up your talk on the court even if they have "energy". Rockets did so and prevented the come back with good play.

    If GG had to redo it again. I expect him to redo that thing again. I love it, we need toughness. GG vs Draymond, let's get it on!!!

    I'm happy we have guys like Green and Tucker on this team.

    You know the stuff Draymond likes to pull in the playoffs with kicking players and illegal screens. This is insurance for when you need someone to thug it out with him. I'll gladly trade Green vs Green suspensions if it comes to it.

    I liked that whole passage, it was ''clean" imo, it's just unfortunate Dieng went into the crowd so he'll probably get a game.

    Mike D'Antoni didn't like it.



    Neither did Calvin Murphy. "Not smart... the fact that he pushed a player into the crowd, which could have injured a spectator, which could have been a major problem for the NBA."

    Love it.

    Unless they were falling onto a child I'm fine with it, the adults know that's the price they pay for sitting right next to the action.

    Also fine with him being suspended a game due to the interaction it had with the fans.

    But give me that every day of the week over teammates who won't even attempt to help you up off the floor. Ahem, Ohio.

    The best thing about this is all of them are going to be going straight up to Gerald in the locker room after the game giving him love.

    I kinda liked it. We need someone like this to smaller players don't get messed with. CP3 oversold the push though so GG shouldn't have pushed Dieng so hard

    Definitely with @Clutch on this one...love that he had his back, but we really can use his offense...really lights a fire under the 2nd unit's ass...

    the bench struggled last night at NO...mda makes the right adjustment, and the bench showed up tonight..

    we really need gerald..he's our pat bev to a lesser degree

    i really don't want any more iso joe unless it's garbage time.
