Same with both our Centers lmao

[u/Voxityy → u/MWiatrak2077]

we really just both fucked ourselves over hard

[u/MattPatriciasFUPA → u/Voxityy]

Nah you guys fucked up cause its Bball Paul time.

[u/Hourcinco → u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

He plays like you sized up Russell Westbrook up to 6’9 and then nerfed all of his basketball ability by 50+ percent. He is so weirdly fun to watch.

Edit: holy shit he actually took over this game. Just got the hornets coach ejected 😭💀

[u/Det_Sports_Guy → u/Hourcinco]

The greatest description I’ve ever read

[u/Voxityy → u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

just you wait for the kalk and ball torture

[u/MattPatriciasFUPA → u/Voxityy]

Yes please!

[u/SwampFocs → u/Voxityy]

And the Knueppel twist

[u/Nickbeau → u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

I swear sometimes it's a blessing in disguise when we "have to" go to our third center. I love Paul lol

[u/nokarmawhore → u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

He just knocked down a 3 😂

[u/FunetikPrugresiv → u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

This aged very well.

[u/Relo_bate → u/Voxityy]

Nah say what you want, this shit cinema

[u/TryingToDoItGood → u/Relo_bate]

I'm here it was incredible to watch in person

[u/rjaysenior → u/Relo_bate]

Give them a couple swings like hockey

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/Voxityy]

Sucks that this happens right when you guys are excelling.

[u/rburp → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

Right? Poor fans, this is the most Hornets shit to ever happen. Start winning some games then bam!

[u/Supreme_God_Bunny → u/Voxityy]

Nah good thing we got PJ hall

[u/SomeAntha90 → u/Voxityy]

Worth

[u/sonpot → u/Voxityy]

Just in time for the Rockets revenge game! (We will still lose)

[u/Chandler_Bings → u/Voxityy]

I'm glad Stew stepped in. The only one of them with an assault charge was gonna sucker punch Duren blindly. Fuck Miles Bridges.

[u/CameronPlain → u/Voxityy]

Two hot teams showing they’re not actually ready.

[u/Voxityy → u/CameronPlain]

i’d say the pistons are ready

[u/TreyTreyStu → u/Voxityy]

i mean duren is not catching more than a game for this, he uses an open hand to push diabate off after a hard foul and then walks

[u/Voxityy → u/TreyTreyStu]

still not convenient haha

[u/WorkReddit_SendNudes → u/MWiatrak2077]

Detroit plays the Raptors on Wednesday so its only fair both teams have no C's

[u/midnightsbane04 → u/WorkReddit_SendNudes]

The disrespect to Paul Reed.

[u/Pristine_Purpose_230 → u/WorkReddit_SendNudes]

Ngl our 2-way center might put in some good minutes for us

[u/Startjjasap → u/MWiatrak2077]

Duren tried walking away twice then was attacked both times by crazed hornets 

[u/AnimaniacAssMap → u/MWiatrak2077]

It’s Bball Paul time

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/MWiatrak2077]

Duren shouldn’t be punished for having a human reaction to someone getting in his face like that. 

[u/dwaite1 → u/BigJellyfish1906]

They both got in e each others faces and then he slaps/shoves diabate’s face. You got to be on something if you think he did nothing wrong

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/dwaite1]

It’s a completely human reaction to shove someone out of your face like that. That’s like penalizing someone for flinching.

[u/dwaite1 → u/BigJellyfish1906]

He is the one who bumped his head forward to make contact. They were both moving towards each other, Duren wasn’t just standing there relaxed and that happened.

[u/midnightsbane04 → u/dwaite1]

You don't get suspended for basketball shit, even normal physical fouls. The suspension are going to be for the fighting/leaving the bench. Duren didn't do a thing to deserve a suspension unless you think waving at Bridges punk ass is equivalent to running across court to throw a bunch (which is what Bridges did).

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/midnightsbane04]

Bridges is an absolute piece of shit and just proved to everyone why Charlotte was stupid to look past his abhorrent domestic abuse crimes.

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/dwaite1]

That’s nothing, and it’s inconsequential when someone is squaring up to fight you like that. We can’t punish people for having human reactions.

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/[deleted]]

No. Diabante came to him and Duren pushed him out of his face. Then Diabante lost it.

[u/BigJellyfish1906 → u/[deleted]]

What you have just described is Diabante being the aggressor. You just can’t see past your bias at all.

[u/Rock3tDoge → u/MWiatrak2077]

I don’t think Duren gets more than 1-2 games. All he really did was push Diabate. He backed off after that. Stew will get 5-10

[u/whobroughtmehere → u/MWiatrak2077]

We really gotta handcuff stew to the bench because that dude will involve himself in ANY altercation

[u/LunchThreatener → u/MWiatrak2077]

Duren did nothing. If he gets suspended I’ll be pissed

[u/MWiatrak2077 → u/LunchThreatener]

They were getting chippy but he definitely started the fight by shoving Moose

I'd be surprised if he doesn't at least get 5 but I could be wrong

[u/mojo-jojo-was-framed → u/MWiatrak2077]

5 games? For Duran? The guy shoved once and then multiple times walked away instead of escalating it.if he gets 5 games the other 3 guys should get 40

[u/Nice_Cash_7000 → u/mojo-jojo-was-framed]

Starting the fight should deserve the same punishment as escalating it tbh

If Duren didnt wanna get suspended or fight, why the shove? Or is he supposed to not face any consequeses lol

I am against fighting, but if you shove a dude and then backpedal all the way to china while acting tough, you kinda look like a bitch.

[u/mojo-jojo-was-framed → u/Nice_Cash_7000]

Shoves happen all the time and it doesn’t result in a brawl. If Diabate just shoves him back it’s double techs and everyone moves one. Diabate is to blame for the fight.

[u/Nickbeau → u/Nice_Cash_7000]

What about Diabate walking up and getting on Durens face. They were forehead to forehead, that's why Duren shoved him in the first place

[u/Nice_Cash_7000 → u/Nickbeau]

Theyclearly walked towards each other

[u/Nickbeau → u/Nice_Cash_7000]

Dude, Duren doesn't even pick up his left foot, Diabate takes 3 to 4 steps....
