    So they punish Rudy for getting choked out? Or they fining him for calling Draymond a clown? Either way that’s dumb asf

  2. twinberwolf

    No suspensions on our side. It’s a win

    $25k is a small price to pay for Rudy to get his image repaired in the eyes of r/nba. I bet he picks up Jadens too since his big contract hasn’t kicked in yet.

    Jaden and Klay is one thing, whatever, but Rudy is ridiculous. He literally did nothing wrong

  5. Imagine fining someone you yourself decided was a peacemaker

    That’s one less palm angels jacket for Jaden this year

    I’m still mad that Chris Paul hasn’t been fined for diving into Conley’s legs

    They are fining someone for breaking up a fight? Wild.

    Wish you could appeal fines, I’d fight that on principle alone if I was in Rudys shoes

    The Rudy fine is probably to minimize complaints from the Warriors. The league can say yeah Draymond got suspended but everyone involved was punished and Draymond’s actions were clearly the most extreme. I’m surprisingly okay with this and honestly 5 games is more than I expected.

    That’s pretty hilarious that Rudy got a fine. Almost everyone else on the court from both teams were doing the same thing as Rudy … just trying to separate people.

  12. Remember when Ben Simmons was choking KAT a few years ago and got away with it cus he was “de-escalating” things?

    Imagine a guy trying to choke you out, being the bigger man and not escalating the conflict even though you have every right to when another man puts his hands on you and you’re rewarded with a $25k fine.

    BS fine for Rudy but I guess he can afford it.

    I was listening to NBA on XM and they said when David Stern was the commish if a player got fined and didn’t do anything else they always got a check back at the end of the season.

  16. Didn’t the refs consider Rudy a “peacemaker”? Why is he getting fined?

  17. fermat12

    Rudy does not deserve to be fined for trying to de-escalate the situation. Frankly kind of outrageous to me.

    So this whole event apparently broke Rudy’s mind after it hit his wallet. He was a shell of himself in Suns game. So were most the other starters.
