much ado about nothing, or OMG?

[devildeac]

I vote much ado about nothing. Here is a video clip worth getting excited about:

Meh. Nunez vs Rousey now that's excitement.

[slower]

Figures that it was Tava involved in the contact. That guy smacked a couple players in the face during the game.

I hate that I have to say or even think this, but I think there's a small (yet real) possibility that Grayson doesn't make it through the season. His reactions are instinctive, and it's VERY hard to just stop those kinds of reactions. Somebody may just get him to lash out again, and his fate won't be up to K or Duke next time.

The basketbrawl lasted longer.

Well played.

Grayson should be suspended for the next four games...has to be four games or there is no point.

Dude are you serious? Grayson clearly lost his balance for a moment because he ran into a screen. He wasn't trying to trip anybody. Seth Greenberg explained it pretty well.

This witch hunt click bait crap is so irresponsible and out of control.

IMO, Grayson has to leave Duke after this season for the draft. This level of biased, incessant scrutinizing and accusations is too much for anybody to get through in that many competitive games.

In that game, the only player who got tripped (and dangerously) was Grayson Allen.

Look at the schedule then look at the guy's handle.

PackMan's proposed 4 game suspension would include, wait for this...






...our game vs NCSU at CIS on 1/23.



Methinks our Wolfpack buddy is funnin' us.

Ha - got it now! Sorry Packman - you were clearly joking. I'm admittedly sensitive about this, because Grayson is a good kid who absolutely does not deserve this bs every time he runs into a screen. This incessant media scrutiny cannot be good for his psyche, and in this case is grossly unfair IMO.

He deserves a chance to move forward, but it's clear that the media and clicking Duke haters will never let him get that while at Duke.

Can't and won't speak for P-man, but I think he may have been being sarcastic based on all the noise of a couple of weeks ago. At least, that's how I read the post.

I am hoping for a gloating Packman by sundown. But perhaps that thought belongs on a different thread.

Not sure about making it through the season, but I agree that these actions appear to be ingrained behaviors, rather than conscious decisions. I think that makes it even harder for Grayson to control it.

[devildeac]

Look at this from Adam Rowe:

Not only does Grayson trip himself (suspension-worthy in and of itself), he then hurls the ball toward the Hodges' region of the BC player AND tries to take his legs out with his chop block!

Thank you for your sage analysis, Dr. Death!

No problem.

My opinions are worth every penny I'm paid for them....

[CameronBlue]

I think it's possible that Grayson, feeling the contact, attempted to draw a foul with sort of a reverse flop if you will but that's it. More likely it was typical of most players trying to fight through a screen--flailing arms and legs are pretty common. Rest assured where benefit of the doubt is normally given, Grayson will receive none.

Such is a consequence of repeated indiscretions.

[MChambers]

Are you serious? It's was on the front page os ESPN, CBSSPORTS and Sports Illustrated's website.

Seth Greenberg has a segment on it. Andy Katz has talked about it. ESPN's article alone has well over a hundred comments.

The Washington Post has a ridiculous piece on it, too. I won't link, for obvious reasons.

This.
