    Not surprised at all that Green did that, people do little things to get under people's skin all the time, but it's unnecessary to go after someone's injury.

    LOL at Green equating pinching to punching an injured part.

    Pinching and _____ happens in every single basketball game. It's pretty much what Bruce Bowen said on it. That crap happens every single game. He just wanted a excuse to be a POS

    Draymond is a d-bag.

    I hope he retires a rocket

    Honestly, if he was a Rocket, would you actually like/support his style of play? I don't know if I could, but....

    Over the years in all sports, Houston has been luckily jackass-free for the most part, I'd kinda rather not change that.

    Ooh, those Oilers teams in the late 80's had some real knuckle heads on it!! And if Fish-Mouth Green did do that for the Rox I bet we'd spin it as "just gamesmanship.."..

    But I don't recall any straight "dirty" guys, assholes sure (Maxwell, Herzog, Adams, Meluskey, etc...)

    Who am I not remembering who would be comparable?

    Ehhhhh. Ok. That's one.

    But I did love that guy.

    How was he really dirty, headhunting or going after knees or something? I don't remember or I chose to not pay attention to that stuff as a kid.

    How is it possible for him to stay suspension free after freely admitting it?

    How is it possible that there is a coach NOT telling his team to show up the refs, punch people for anything, take cheap shots and employ ridiculous moving screens?

    Show up the refs, push the envelope until they break or tech the whole team out. Punch people when they've slighted you in any way. When you set a screen, move and make sure it's obvious but make it impossible to get around. They won't call it every time, hell, eventually they'll quit calling anything altogether. If the ball is around you just hack the **** outta someone until they drop it. Elbow people in the face. Swing wild. Kick people.

    To the ol' "you like him when he's on your team" nah. I like Beverley. A **** talker, agitator. Heart on his sleeve. I have no respect for Draymond Green's fake ass defense, tough guy stuff, screaming at refs every 30 seconds baloney. I wouldn't root for that on the Rockets. I don't want him here. Ever.

    Just Draymond being Draymond. He's employing his patented "Donkey Punch" which is right behind his infamous "Donkey Kick" also known as the "Testicular Teaser"

    We shouldn't ignore the hard shoulder screen Barnes placed on Harden. That could have taken him out of the game right there. Probably deserves its own thread.

    Warriors becoming more and more unlikeable by the second. Shame because Steph Curry is such a likeable dude.

    He gets away with it because GSW is the golden child of the league. If he was plying his trade in Sacto, it would be a different story. Ask DeMarcus.

    Nothing will happen to the old mouth breather. He's protected.

    Truth be spoken, there will always be dirty players in the league. Barnes, I look at you. Bruce Bowen.

    Draymond is one talented, dirty player.

    He gets away with a lot and he may be hated by the opponent but if you got him on your team,

    you are lucky you got yourself one son of gun type of enforcer.

    If that's his excuse for punching a guy in the hand, I'd love to hear his explanation for kicking people in the crotch.

    Umm is pinching worth a couple games off (ala spurs) before our playoffs run?

    Seriously Harden needs a game or three off for our playoffs push. Considering he is our only (meaning 1) star on the team.
