What is another name for squabble?
altercation
Some common synonyms of squabble are altercation, quarrel, and wrangle. While all these words mean "a noisy dispute usually marked by anger," squabble stresses childish and unseemly dispute over petty matters, but it need not imply bitterness or anger.
You think this is a squabble? I'm scared to know what you think assault is..
...lol
but hey lets shake on it
This is more closer to what happened..and if butler and udonis had fought THAT would an equal 1 to 1 match up...its in the heat of a game they were losing...its close to the playoffs and everyone is tired and pissed off with how shit was going... emotions were clearly high all around.
meanwhile in GS....its the preseason..its PRACTICE...they haven't even gotten their actual rings yet... and everyone is gettin gear up to play a new season. THERE IS NO PRESSURE WHATSOEVER..JUST CHILDISH JOCK SHIT TALKING.
Absolutely NO REASON under those circumstances to haul off and hit that muhfuka like this
and do this..
draymond is a KNOWN asshole with a short temper and like someone said in another thread Poole out draymonded draymond and his COULDN'T take it....
for that reason alone AT THE VERY LEAST that nigga need to sit for 3 or 4 games with no pay not just for the ASSAULT but for embarrassing his teammate, team, the organization, BOTH their families etc... ALL of it. The punishment has hurt him the way that punch hurt Poole.

You're more upset about it than the Warriors and their staff, Bro. lol
The Warriors along with Poole continued on with practice after the fight so that tells you they weren't upset about it, the only reason it's a hot topic is because people who weren't even there are talking about it. The video below talking about Kerr was near tears talking about the fight but he didn't even cancel practice after the fight..lol

First off is that pic of Poole even real, second you saying it's different because it's a playoff game and they were losing argument is crazy because it's not different. The same emotions were in both situations because both situations lead to a punch being thrown. This video is from a practice where Aaron Donald hit someone with his helmet 2 times, it's on video but the uproar only lasted 2 days and nothing happened to him suspension wise, now tell me how this is different from the Poole-Draymond incident
I'm kinda on the fence about this.
Yes, Draymond was wrong for punching him, but over the past several days, I've heard several players say that Poole talks a lot of shit to the point where he's not well liked around the league (at least, his teammates are putting up a good front about him, as they should). I hope that him and Draymond can hug it out and move forward, because that would show that Black men can patch things up and move on, no matter how tough the situation is. It would be cool if you saw Draymond and Poole really support each other on and off the court during this season.
On a personal level, Draymond needs to take some anger management classes, and I hope that Poole learned that he has to learn how to tone down his shit talking while keeping his competitive edge. It's not too late for them to talk it out man to man, hug it out, and move on without any hard feelings.

YO FUCK THAT NOISE...I'MA KEEP A BUCK AND TELL YALL DAT NIGGA NEEDS TO GET GOT!
I can see why you feel that way, and yes, it's quite natural. I just want to see us do something unexpected and uplifting, and to have something good come out of this. I know it sounds a bit corny, but I just hope that this makes the Warriors stronger, and lessons can be learned.
Dude of all four ML sports in america football is like the 2nd most violent sport with boxing/MMA being first and the most violent team sport in the country followed closely by hockey. So theres a base level of acceptance of violent clashes by teammates thats set in the culture....and generally a level of violence is acceptable in all contact sports. So from that perspective if they choose to NOT do anything about it then it is what it is...
But thats really not the question here....the topic I posted was
IF YOU ARE JORDAN POOLE WHAT WOULD YOU DO AND WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE TEAM TO DO BEHIND THAT SHIT??
you side stepped that question in your earlier post...
but thats not the premise the premise is YOU ARE IN POOLES POSITION AND YOU GOT SMASHED IN THE FACE BY A TEAM MATE....what do YOU do?
are you going to shake hands and forget it or is it going to a problem going forward??? hell homie checking the poll you didn't even vote on it... so you expect poole to get over it but YOU personally cant even bring yourself to IMAGINE what you do if you got KO'd like that..
lets NOT get into a back and forth where you keep saying "I would never allow that happen.." thats NOT the point...shit if you talked to Jordan just an HOUR before that incident and asked him what he would do his answer would be the same as yours...he'd never allow anyone to slide his ass like that to begin with.
And yet here we are....
so the question is posed to YOU...

What are you talking about I answered both those questions, in my first post, I CLEARLY said if I was the organization I wouldn't do anything and just let the players handle it which is something organizations have been doing for years, as for myself I CLEARLY answered that too I said the part you bolded and then right after that said if a dude came up and sucker punched me like y'all claim this was we'd have to fight. You keep trying to find ways to make other fights that have happened different when they clearly aren't, if you throw a punch in a football game you're getting thrown out. I didn't answer the poll because I wouldn't have done any of those things
are you talking about in the moment?? because in that incident... Poole/YOU... were too busy with...
to fight...did you see that vid??
there was no fight in that moment or after becuz it was quickly broken up... so are you saying shit would continue on LATER THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY...Are you saying IT WOULDN'T BE OVER???
just trying to be precise.. also its not about what you would do if you were in the organzation....YOUR ARE JORDAN POOLE...YOU JUST GOT LAID DA FUCK OUT BY YOUR TEAMMATE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE... I'm putting you squarely in HIS position so you can see the shit from HIS perspective ONLY...
its not about what happened on a football team or a baseball team or badminton team...its about what happened to Jordan Poole/YOU in THAT situation.
What do YOU do in the aftermath of that and what do YOU expect the organization to do FOR YOUR BENEFIT because of it?? You got assualted by a teammate over shit talking and then the tape got "leaked" so now the whole WORLD has seen it (see above) what do YOU expect the org to do about that shit?
this is an open question for ANYONE checking the thread......WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION??

Come on man it's like you're reading my words but pretending as if you don't understand what I'm saying, I clearly said I don't expect the organization to do anything because I know fights happen all the time, I'll say again I WOULDN'T EXPECT THE ORGANIZATION TO DO ANYTHING . As for myself I clearly said we would have to fight if he sucker punched me, I'll say again WE WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT IF HE SUCKER PUNCHED ME. I gave you all those other examples to show you that fights happen between teammates and the majority of the time the organization doesn't do anything and the teammates continue to play with each other. Listen to this story from Kerr about getting punched by Jordan he said stuff like that happens about 3 times a year on every team
Then listen to Jordans version of what happened, in the end all that happened was Jordan was threw out of practice that day and came back the next and him and Kerr talked about it and squashed it
So let's recap
1. I wouldn't expect the organization to do anything
2. If a teammate sucker punched me we would have to fight before any kind of squashing the matter happened
3. Lastly I ask again is that picture of Poole with a black and red eye even real?

Thanx for the clarity.
Ok..
But here's the thing...you're probably not going to get the opportunity to fight him.
This is why I made the topic I wanted to examine the REAL WORLD approach and aspects about it. Everyone is talking smack and we're ALL Billy badasses when we're NOT on the hot seat of an issue. Thats what was so annoying about the Chris Rock thing...EVERYBODY was saying what they would do if that was them...but if you spoke to Chris the day before and asked what would you do if someone walked up on that stage and smacked you...his answer would have been shiiiiiit I wish a muhfuka WOULD try some shit like that!
But to your point...the reality is..you're NOT going to get the opportunity for payback because the GS org.isnt going to let you two fight on thier property...Draymond is already on everyone's shit list so he's not going to let you fight him...and your good with the organization not doing anything about it becuz youre not going to demand it....and the season's getting ready to start...so you're only option is to eat that punch...shake that nigga's hand come opening game and PRETEND it's all good when people ask you about...and they will.

what do you mean I'm not going to get an opportunity to fight him, the locker room, the parking lot, the gas station down the street, we are going to fight in one of those places.
Trade me or him. Whichever one. And I'm getting my lick back. I'd even be a hoe about it and wait until he think we cool again and I'd hit his ass with a two piece one day at lunch. Big mouth fucka....no tolerance for no grown ass man who can't hold his composure fuck him.
Well it takes two to fight..and you two were already separated..so it's going to be you chasing him for what...the next day??

Yep all I would do is wait till everyone thinks I'm cooled down and then go after him, all I'd need to do is land one punch before people broke it up and then we could talk about squashing it. Everything I'm saying is based on my definition of what a sucker punch is and that's someone coming up when I'm not looking and punching me, if I was dumb enough to let Draymond come up on me and not get ready for blows then I might would have to just take that L

That aint enough games
dis you???
I was going to post this video yesterday as an example of a sucker punch and that's exactly how I would have been acting
WTF? 
Must have said I'll fuck your wife or something. Man control your fucking emotions! Hit him in his pocket. Shit's uncalled for. My teammate? Nah son
Must have said I'll fuck your wife or something. Man control your fucking emotions! Hit him in his pocket. Shit's uncalled for. My teammate? Nah son
but that wasn't a sucker punch...lebron was jockeying for position and accidently hit did with his elbow..
How you a millionaire playing basketball and can’t control your shit? He has issues then. He need to step away from the NBA.WTF?
Everyone keep saying Poole has no fighting experience...but I believe he wasn't guarded cause he didn't expect Dray to throw due to friendship. Buy yeah Dray has to go
