Why are taking small parts of my response and making it seem like its my only thought in the discussion? When did I EVER say what he did is acceptable? Read all my comments. Not just my responses to people.
So you think he was trying to start a fight with the 6'9 Howard?
The only irony is that you did exactly what I was talking about: blaming the other guy for what our guys do, trying to normalize bad behavior.
No, but that's what you got out of what I said?
I didn't say he should be punished or the punch was warranted but rather there was a lack of common sense on Gard's part. All I keep saying is that you don't touch someone who is clearly angry and agitated.
It was very unclear. You said Gard knew what he was doing when he stopped Juwan, as if there was some negative intentions behind it.
He already tried, very poorly, by saying it wasnt a press.
Howard already explained this when asked in the press conference. It was NOT full court pressure it was their "Pressure 5 Defense."
Lol what??? Genuinely cannot track what you're saying here. Who did I blame for what? I never even remotely mentioned anything about Jan 6th and have no intention of going down that rabbit hole with you here. Wierd thing to bring up. In your last line you're calling out only networks that you apparently disagree with for disinfo and it slaps the face of your entire post above it...
Why do we have to get to the point where threads get locked? We shouldn't have to rely on the mods for everything. Just be decent (and I'm not talking to you, Dave). Certain things should not be discussed here... masks, politics, etc.
We dont know the recruiting and coaching back stories. The comments, gestures combative actions during the game. There could be animosity that we are not aware of. As a coach you know when its good to have a extended conversation after the game and when its not. Stopping a coach and demanding him to talk is not the way to do it. Some people can only understand that if they have coached in a competitive situation before. Gard wasnt trying to fight him. Thats absurd. I just think Gard knew nothing good was going to come out of stopping him and that the results was only gonna make Juwan look bad. Does that make sense?
I appreciate your response. Just watching the video (too) many times and seeing the interactions they've had at previous end of games, I respectfully disagree and highly doubt that was his intent.
okay well the shot clock was turned off...only 22 seconds left in the game.
