Absolutely true. If you hurt someone that shouldn’t be told to deal with that

Bro what? Sabonis literally slammed his head on the ground and used his hands to grab at his head. This is what we call a reaction. When you put your hand on a hot stove what happens? Oh that’s right you pull away your hand. What happens when you twist your ankle? Oh that’s right you grab the ankle in pain. No way nba commentators can be this dumb

Sabonis literally never hit his head nor grabbed it lol. It looks that way until you see the other angle. He did indeed put hit arms by his face which wrapped dramonds ankle which then cause a reaction from draymond, I do think jumping off sabonis was excessive though. Both of them caused it pretty much unintentionally

Watching these games closely, you can CLEARLY see Sabonis being a super dirty player. He’s getting exposed no doubt

2023 is the year of the instigators for the NBA. That’s why so many stars are injured at the beginnings of the playoffs.

Embiid DIDN’T deserve to get ejected at all, why tf is Claxton is stepping over him ? The moment he steps over him Embiid it’s within his rights to NOT let him step any way he can, I say he didn’t even deserves flagrant 1 because he’s just reacting.
The NBA has a big problem that it doesn’t punish the instigator of the incident , saw it with Sabonis, now saw it with Claxton. If someone initiates it he should be thrown out first.

Claxton got a technical for taunting, so he didn’t get kids away with anything. So what is Steven a talking about.
