2773449, Yea once you put your hands on someone - anything can happen Posted by Vex_id, Fri Oct-07-22 10:30 AM
but this isn't a random street fight where the guys don't know each other. I don't think Poole ever thought Dray would steal on him like that. Also, Dray went all-in and really sat down on that shot with bad intentions. Wasn't a proportional response at all.
Edit: Upon looking at it again, you can actually make the case that Draymond initiated the contact. Bumping into somebody like that with forward momentum is akin to a push. So Poole was actually responding to Draymond getting in his space when he pushed him. It didn't look like Poole wanted it to get physical; Draymond wanted it to get ugly and had bad intentions on that shot.
