My border collie mix has more intelligence than this guy. The only way he’ll respond is with physical play. Not cheap but definitely physical

I like that Bayless went right at ’em and hit that first shot. He was not intimidated.

I actually think we will see him start playing more after that game. He looked good.

In the vein of getting a glimpse of Batum because of Martell’s injury

I say that we finally know what Ike is for: Drop the Hammer on KG!

So what if he gets suspended for a few games. I am sure that Paul Allen can find a way to reward him!

If barking is over the line, then how about taunts about mother, manhood, or race? If you allow those to become triggers to violence then other teams will pull them. And violence won’t contain itself to the scrubs. Core players will be lost for key games. In the pressure cooker of playoff series its even worse.

If you tell your team that it is okay in some cases to respond to taunting with violence, then you can’t blame them for not drawing the line at the same place you would. You can’t blame them for not seeing the shades of gray in the same way you do.

Bayless handled it perfectly. He took it hard to the rack, drew the foul and then when KG tried to get in his face he walked through KG’s chest without even looking at him. It was just enough contact to let KG know he was in no way intimidated.

You don’t want your players to be thinking about how best to get in a cheapshot as a payback. When you take that off the table the player has one avenue of revenge, putting the ball in the basket. As a fan, that’s what matters to me.
 
Just win. Then the barking and creeping doesn’t really mean anything.

Do you think Crossing the line will make Blazers great? No…
How about if The other 27 teams cross the line as you wanted to do?
Fans are always having diff thinking than the players itself, who is actually playing the game. They Know how to handle themselves as a player as a gamer.
We Fans are always for Vengeance..
Let us see some Futbol (Soccer) matches on Europe, and how the Fans behave.
The only difference on us between those Fans?? Where not throwing coins and bottles, we just into talking.. And im glad for that, that no one getting hurt even we’re always talking about vengeance and Physically hurting someone (players will not listen to us too).

lol what a loser, attacking a 3rd string rookie. If he really had any guts it would be to lamarcus or brandon or something.
