    Oh, so CJ was coming off his injury season and hadn’t started an NBA game before?

    @PtldPlatypus Did you see this roster and realize that CJ had never started a game before when I made this post? That kinda changes things right? Just a bit?

    Yeah big hit, but in my mind that’s not a sucker punch. If a dude is squared up in your face, you better be prepared. Unnecessary though.

    I wasn't making any points--I just shared the screenshot and linked the post/thread to clarify what @KSF-ERIC was referencing. You're welcome to argue with him about whether or not that supports his claim; I have no dog in this fight.

    No you do, you brought that quote into it and defended him. Do you see our roster? Did you realize that CJ had never started an NBA game and was coming off an injury?

    A post a minute for 7 minutes responding to an obvious troll. I don't get it.

    Simmer down, big fella. Like I said, all I did was share and link the post. Do you know why I linked it? So you and @KSF-ERIC and anyone else who wanted to opine could follow the link, read the thread, and comment on the context.

    However, since you asked (twice):
    When @KSF-ERIC referenced that post of yours in the first place, he made it clear that it was pre-season.

    So in all reality...no, that puts no different spin on things at all. It played out precisely as @KSF-ERIC said.

    Now if you want to argue with someone as to whether or not your opinion was valid to hold at that time--go argue with him, not me. I'm not interested.

    OK you've posted several times now what amounts to a superman punch squarely to the face might have been justified by some shit talking and a push. Dray already apologized because he overreacted. Sure if Poole was saying some out of line shit it would give us more context to why Dray overreacted just as badly as he did but it wouldn't change the fact that Dray was way more out of line than any words would have been. I mean some wild slapping punch wouldn't be as big of a deal to me but that was a vicious and accurate punch to the face.

    If the guy in the gray is an assistant then he should get his ass penalized also. He didn’t even try to stop it. He’s just standing and watching.

    I have never once said it was justified. In fact, I have said the exact opposite multiple times.

    I'm saying that Poole should share some blame in the escalation of things. This wasn't a sucker punch.
