Grayson Allen = Punk A$$ Bi+^h

There was acting on both sides.
I don’t like Allen but that seemed pretty tame compared to some of his other BS.
DeRozan flew a lot further than expected from that weak shove. You could see him pause and give an extra little bit of boost to that dive.

With that said, Allen is a punk bish in need of a smackdown. He is the worst, always caught up in unnecessary BS. Why is it so difficult for him to simply just not do these things? Is it really that hard to not be a large pile of steaming crap?
 
Was that really that bad though, he obviously was pushed, gave a little extra, but I have seen much worse. His reputation is definitely preceding him here.
Agreed. I'm not a fan of his, but he was pushed and stumbled into Derozen, maybe exagerated it. You guys should see the stuff that goes on in 3rd grade girls basketball. They should be wearing football pads. Thugs no defense.

It wasn't much, but, it goes to a pattern. And, Williams pushed him a little, but Allen is a grown man who plays a sport for a living. The continuation he made into DeRozan was clearly intentional. That's what it usually is with Allen. A continuation, a casual move into another player with a jab, and then he stands there with a bewildered look on his face wondering why someone is mad at him?

I scarcely watch basketball outside the playoffs, but every time I see that dude he’s busy reinforcing his reputation.

He seems like the kind of bitch that would flick your nuts when the ref isn't looking. I'd actually like to see some big dude just punch his ass out one night. Would be worth the fine and suspension, IMO.
 
I could say the same thing about you :)
Did you read the latest from the NYTimes?
They’re having trouble making any sense out of the idea Russia blew up their own pipelines:

In recent weeks, Nord Stream AG, which is majority-owned by a Kremlin-controlled company, has begun pricing out the cost to repair the pipe and restore gas flow, according to a person briefed on the work who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about it publicly. One repair estimate starts at about $500 million, the person said. Consultants for Russia are also studying how long the damaged pipes can withstand saltwater exposure. The inquiries raise the question of why, if Russia bombed its own pipelines, it would begin the expensive work of repairing them.

The explosion does not neatly benefit Russia. It must keep paying transit fees to Ukraine, it cannot easily use the promise of cheap gas to cleave Germany from its European allies, and it faces hefty repair costs.

I will believe it if they actually repair them, if so the pipeline could be viewed as merely collateral damage for short term benefit. The rest of the evidence continues to point towards Russia and no one else. You still don't have any smoking gun anyone else did it.
 
I wouldn't put that all on Allen. He was trying to draw a foul and went overboard. And Derozan looked like he was trying to sell it a bit as well.

And this from someone who thinks the punishment for Allen's last 6-8 cheap shots should have been punished way worse.

Noted.

Even the NYTimes was having trouble coming up with the ‘benefit’ to Russia that removing energy supply leverage on Western Europe provides.
What’s the actual benefit you see?
Stack up all the suspects and who wants to see the pipeline remain more than the Russians?
I see them with the most motive to keep it in place, ready to deliver energy and help leverage an end to the sanctions, and the least motive to see it wrecked and their ability to sell gas through it cut off.

The rest of the evidence continues to point towards Russia and no one else. You still don't have any smoking gun anyone else did it.
I said at the outset I don’t expect a smoking gun. Swedes throwing the national security cloak over the investigation and keeping the Germans out sort of sealed that.
Best we can hope for are revelations in memoirs written a few decades from now. Someone will brag about it eventually.

Also I haven't seen a single complaint from Russia about the pipelines since Sept. You would think if someone attacked their infrastructure this would be a key informational point for them. Radio silence.

Have you not seen NBA players throw punches? It’s a train wreck when they try. I would not be one bit worried about a big dude in the NBA trying to punch anything out

The Magic/Pistons kerfluffle looked like a good time.
 
Allen will never be forgiven for pulling Caruso down backwards in mid-air on breakaway layup that ended with Caruso breaking his wrist and losing several months of last season.
The Bulls have never properly repaid Allen for that altho Tristan Thompson did try.
Only current league player that I want injured..bone sticking out injured...eye for an eye.

Pretty obvious flagrant. Wonder how many he has so far in the NBA. If a clear pattern emerges with crap like this I think you have to look at a long suspension... season or more.

I can’t stand Grayson Allen. Hated when the bucks got him, and it sucks that he’s a good piece to have for any team. He’ll journey around the league for a long time if someone doesn’t give him a career ending injury.
