    Yo that's a nice punch. Poole probably said something about how Draymond looks like a turtle shooting a 3.

    TMZ pays a good amount for these sort of thing. Probably some back room guy trying to make a good buck.

    I doubt Klutch was involved in leaking the video. They were the ones, via Shams and Haynes, that initially tried to downplay the severity of the punch and insinuate that Poole had an attitude.

    So this video leaking is a bad look for Draymond, Klutch, Shams, Haynes, etc

    I think it was just someone on the film staff willing to risk their job on a big payday from TMZ

    not sure it was a cheap shot, as poole both saw him coming and had shoved him already.

    it's obviously not the kind of thing you want happening, though.

    I doubt Poole expected to get clocked with a right as hard as Greene threw, even after whatever led up to the words and bumping and pushing.

    This. That's a mistake on Pool's part though. U shove a guy, u better be ready to throw it down. I knocked out a guy or two in similar fashion way back in the day.

    yeah, when a guy steps in your face, and you shove him, this is generally heading in a direction that you should anticipate.

    Dang Draymond don't play, he rag-dolled little (little compared to Green) Poole with that shot. It was a sucker punch though, cheap shot for sure. It should have been KD.

    If none of us want him, he can’t shoot, has an attitude problem, is far past his prime, then he’s surely at the top of Rob’s Big Board!
    I can’t wait!

    Absolutely. How on earth is it a cheap shot?


    I'm 99% sure he'll be a Laker in his career. Brace yourselves, he's coming and we'll overpay him in his down years

    yeah, that wasn't a cheapshot. poole probably wasn't expecting it, but he should have at least expected something once he started the whole thing

    Starts the whole thing? Draymond walks right up to him and bumps chests, gets right in his face. I agree Poole should have been ready after the shove but it doesn't look like he started it to me. And btw, whenever the other person is not ready and you punch them. it's a cheap shot. Like stabbing someone in the back. It's a d*** move. Even if they were verbally going at it before, that doesn't constitute punching anyone.

    How did he start it …. was he chirping at Greene? What else has been reported? Greene was the one who walked over and bumped him.

    I'll revise it and say it was 1/2 a cheap shot. Poole is standing there looking right at him when Dray punches him but his hands were down, not in a fighting stance at all. Dray using that 7′ 1″ wing span to get that shot in there without telegraphing anything.

    I think this is a bit different than the locker room fight. Wasn’t it reported that the sports writers could hear the fight while they were standing in the hallway outside? If so….I mean their sports writers, they are going to write about it.
