If a defender can stiff arm you then it’s fair game to shove that arm away. Love the Lipsey does that all the time too, really gets under people’s skin.

saw a replay of the 'punch' that mathurin threw at hunter. LOL. did he twist his nipple because he barely tapped him. absolute insanity which one of these players got ejected and which didnt.

also **** the cavs for trading georges.


I didn't mind throwing Mathurin out. You can't have someone punch a guy and taunt him with no penalty, otherwise the end of bunch guys would be pounding on Halliburton and Mitchell until they lost it. But they also should have thrown Hunter because you can't go halfway across the court and shove a guy during a dead ball and get to stay in the game. I thought the punch looked a little weak but it wasn't even close to a basketball move and was a closed fist followed by a taunt.

After watching this I always wonder how Draymond hasn't been thrown out of half the games he has ever played in his life.

was it even a punch though? it was him pushing off in a pesky kind of way. calling it a punch is ridiculous.
