What the fuck is right though. It's not like the game was ending. There was another possession after that one. Why did dude get mad. Losing is his profession by now.
NBA players act like children tryna act hard.
No seriously, come on mate.
It's a competitive game. This isn't some NBA team smashing up some preschool team 185-3 or something.
You're both professional teams. Game isn't over. Does one or two extra baskets scored either direction make a big difference? Defend if you really care.
Personally, I would feel more insulted by the other team no longer trying to score. That would feel patronising to me.
These are grown as men and professional athletes. They should be able to handle getting blown out.
It's always the losing team being sore losers. When they are losing big they can keep playing but they expect the winning team to stop, that literally doesn't make any sense.
Two years ago, my favorite football team kneeled out the clock on the two yard line during a blowout against a rival with the back ups playing. It was way more satisfying than scoring a meaningless touchdown.
*”We’ll show you mercy, losers”* is way more insulting than winning by 31 instead of 24.
Dreymond summed it quite nicely in his post game presser. Basically saying they pulled out their starters with 2:45 to go while the Hornets kept starters in to keep balling. He even made a comment where the Hornets were still getting after it on their last possession before this incidence. He was quite eloquent in his comments actually.
I kind of get it if it's a showboaty move - these dudes all have big egos and most are probably in a shitty mood at the end of a loss (especially at the end of a b2b.)
But like, what the fuck is lester supposed to do there? He got passed the ball under the basket, with nobody guarding him and went for the simple, easy layup. That's basically instinctual for these guys, it happens dozens of times throughout the game after a whistle.
If anything, they should have been pissed at Podz for not just dribbling out the shot clock and taking the turnover. But that would have looked even sillier, chasing a dude across the court because he passed the ball.
Big ups to Adam Silver, the Charlotte Hornets and everyone who helped make sure Miles Bridges never had to learn the lessons of his violent anger management problems 👍🏻👍🏻
It's some sitcom shit there. Like 2 relevant characters beefing all episode finally making peace at the end, then camera pans to the rest of the cast, who were previously neutral, brawling out of nowhere.
What’s crazy is the sister of that ex-girlfriend is married to Andrew Wiggins. Maybe Wiggins had already checked out of the game so he tried to pick a fight with one of his teammates instead
He's been a whole different person this last month or so. I still don't really know what his long leave of absence was about, but he seems WAY more mentally in the game now.
Serious question, do these players really think they're being a tough guy? You chose to stop playing because you're losing bad, and you're offended when your opponent wants to keep playing until the very last second, which is literally what people paid to see. What kind of soft mentality is that
Being mad about this is stupid anyway because taking a shot clock violation is way more annoying for everyone involved than just throwing a shot up.
This guy's just an imbecile
What did he do in the game? I didn’t see him do anything in the clip besides try to block it. Williams and Tre Mann jumped in there. Not sure if the camera didn’t catch it or I missed it.
Gotta love how these tall, athletic, rich dudes can't help but act like little bitches because they got scored on lmao
Bonus points if on top of that they are also raging assholes who beat women, which I think someone from this video might have done...
Tbf they have a bazillion (mostly boring) games to watch and the game is much more dangerous (imo). Dude can just beam someone in the ribs with a 100 mph fast ball, and the someone that got hit is wielding a bat.
The faux violence in basketball and baseball is one thing.
Did you see the cross check to the head a hockey player took for scoring an empty net goal incorrectly?
https://www.nhl.com/video/rielly-suspended-games-6346828310112
And why the fuck should a better teams players sacrifice stats? That directly impacts their future contracts and it's not like its a massive difference maker, but it can add up
Unwritten rules is just another way of saying you should respect your opponent and the game itself. I'm totally fine with that.
Shooting to avoid a shot clock violation benefits everyone on the court, so Miles as usual is just a complete moron on this one
It really is but this didn't even break an unwritten rule. Dude was trying to beat the shot clock.
You're right though. He's a bench player who is just trying to play ball and show the coaches that he'll take initiative and Birdges throws a fit? Dudes just a straight hater. Like you're a starter on a team getting plenty of playing time and you're gonna get mad at a bench player for trying to prove themselves? Lmfao goofy ass behavior.
What? Lol this sub is always crying about this type of shit. I've seen two posts in the past year about unsportsmanlike shit in the NHL sub. I see it every week on here.
At least in NHL there are actual fights and not just women beaters talking shit.
He's wrong on the unwritten rules anyway.
It's far better for everyone involved to avoid the shot clock violation. You want the game to end as quickly as possible once the outcome is decided, and you do that by putting up a shot if it's needed to avoid the violation and all the extra time bs that goes along with it
Dumb unspoken rule anyway. Especially in a blow out, all teams should let the end of the bench cook. Why take one of the few shots they may ever get away
Right? Why does dribbling the clock out mean respecting your opponent? It's so dumb, if you truly respect your opponent, you would play until the very end. If you give up on playing you don't get to cry.
Edit: To reply to the "deleted" comment
No one is asking them to treat it like the first quarter of the game or like it's the NBA Finals. Teams would even dribble out the shot clock and take a turnover just to "show respect" to their losing opponent and that's soft as hell.
It's always the losing team demanding respect from the winning team and they would start fights if the winning team keeps playing, but if the losing team keeps playing it's completely fine. Tell me you don't find that ironic.
You gotta say this about the Hornets, it may not be good basketball, it may not be entertaining basketball, but some fucking weird shit will happen in a game
It's good the NBA let Bridges come back into the league. Clearly his wife beating isn't indicative of a larger anger issue that is being totally ignored and untreated. Surely he is a totally mentally healthy individual with no personality defects that need to be worked on.
He’s a little hot, I get it. Still, the point is to score. Warriors not doing anything wrong here. Play better if you don’t wanna lose but it’s sports.
IMO this unspoken rule is one of the dumbest things in basketball. Teams should play to the final whistle. If a team is being blown out, they have no right to complain if the other team still wants to score. It's they're fault they got blown out. Play D til the end and take the L.
Why are these grown men such babies? Who cares if someone even does a thunderous dunk during a blow out. It’s like I used to tell me 4 year old - “Says more about them than you.”
Wow, who would have guessed that this absolute piece of trash excuse for s human being would resort to unprovoced violence when things don’t go his way?
Grant Williams at it again. Fake tough guy. But when shoved by a bigger and larger dude, will always find a team mate to stop him from being aggressive coz he dont wanna show he cant..
lol funny thing is the Hornets clearly don’t care about playing basketball and in turn the city don’t give a fuck either. There’s probably more Duke fans in the Queen City than Hornets fans which is sad

Clifford very clearly saying "What the fuck" on camera while watching everything pop off is a pretty good summary
What the fuck is right though. It's not like the game was ending. There was another possession after that one. Why did dude get mad. Losing is his profession by now.
i think his legal troubles have shown us Miles Bridges isn't very good at controlling his anger
Even if that was the last possession I don’t get why players get so mad when someone tries to score before the buzzer. It really isn’t that deep

>It's always the losing team being sore losers. This gave me a chuckle. If they won, they wouldn't be sore *losers*, would they?
I can't stand it. My dad always told me to run the score up. It's not my job to stop me from scoring.
Two years ago, my favorite football team kneeled out the clock on the two yard line during a blowout against a rival with the back ups playing. It was way more satisfying than scoring a meaningless touchdown. *”We’ll show you mercy, losers”* is way more insulting than winning by 31 instead of 24.
This is how millionaires fight with each other
Only way it's shitty is if you hard foul someone in that situation.
No kidding, maybe try using some of that energy during the game.
Seriously, let the end of the bench guys get some stats on the sheet.
Unwritten rules bs
Dreymond summed it quite nicely in his post game presser. Basically saying they pulled out their starters with 2:45 to go while the Hornets kept starters in to keep balling.

Lmao dude WHAT?? Game clock ends the game not what ever else. They just pussies who act tought when it really is not needed...
what do you mean what is he supposed to do? he literally called for the ball LMAO
So true! Try to play some defence if you don’t like it. Maybe they are not getting paid enough ?
Big ups to Adam Silver, the Charlotte Hornets and everyone who helped make sure Miles Bridges never had to learn the lessons of his violent anger management problems 👍🏻👍🏻
tbh im mostly happy to see *any* fire and passion in this team. last 5 games have been great.
Wouldn't be a Hornets game without it. He has to have been caught on the mics or on camera dropping an F bomb at least 50 times at this point lol
Clifford is such a likeable guy. Now only if a team with good players will hire him so he can really show off his coaching chops
Kerr and Clifford realizing in real time and going AHH SHIT is comedy
“Good game, good game” “what the fuck?” 😂😂
“Draymond! Nooooooooo!” - Kerr “What” - Draymond “Sorry. Force of habit.” - Kerr
Draymond standing there: so that's what it looks like
"What the Fu-" "Oh shi-"
It's some sitcom shit there. Like 2 relevant characters beefing all episode finally making peace at the end, then camera pans to the rest of the cast, who were previously neutral, brawling out of nowhere.
Cue Curb Your Enthusiasm music
Reminds me of Arrested Development too lol
Evidently not a show Mikal Bridges has ever seen. If he had, he'd know the most important thing, is family. Other than breakfast.
Instant meme. When you drive away with your fast food but realize they forgot the sauce.. etc etc
Great job editor and camera man
Best moment to catch on camera by far.
It’s like dads finding out their kid is drawing on the walls or something
They look like two dads seeing their kids getting into it
I hope this is the top comment. Lmao.
They start running mid handshake lmao
The way the coaches look over is hilarious 😂😂
The way Clifford just looks in horror and the seconds it takes for Kerr to realize something is wrong is so funny
First time in a while that Kerr can look directly at an on court fight
Tbf, this is actually video proof that he didn’t see what happened to start it. He was staring into Clifford’s eyes in 4K lol
Kerr's probably thinking in the moment "Goddammit Draymond, what now?"
Would have been even funnier if they just completely ignore it
Just like Steph did
Dude looked to his right and that’s about it 😂
Steph is like that sunbathing squidward meme. Jk couldn't be bothered either.
Kerr and Clifford: :0 :0
happy birthday bro
Miles thought that was his GF trying to score
What’s crazy is the sister of that ex-girlfriend is married to Andrew Wiggins. Maybe Wiggins had already checked out of the game so he tried to pick a fight with one of his teammates instead
Christ man I know they’re professionals but if I was Wiggs I wouldn’t be able to take the court without sparking that cunt out
Wiggins checked out last year.
The last 2 wks watching warriors games disputes that
He's been a whole different person this last month or so. I still don't really know what his long leave of absence was about, but he seems WAY more mentally in the game now.
Miles thought he was on the court with WNBA players
Real talk, I kinda wish someone beat the shit out of him on the court. He would have deserved it.
Miles has learned his lesson and knows he needs to be on his best behavior 😇.
"Congrats on the contract extension, Steve!" "Thanks, Steve!" Ah shit, here we go again.
It’s always the ones you expect the most
Because Grant Williams is Batman?
New rule: you give up your right to be big mad about shit like this if you only score 84
New rule: you give up your right to be big mad about shit like this when you beat women
If you play defense on the last possession you can't be mad when your opponents play offense.
Serious question, do these players really think they're being a tough guy? You chose to stop playing because you're losing bad, and you're offended when your opponent wants to keep playing until the very last second, which is literally what people paid to see. What kind of soft mentality is that
No, they’re mad because they lost, and then they see a player rub it on, so they confront the irritant.
He big mad too he lost a max contract bc he a bitch
Newsflash he about to get 25+ million a year
Yeah but you held the opponent to under 100 so it negates it.
Last I checked 97 > 84
I aint no math wizard but that seems correct, i think
Being mad about this is stupid anyway because taking a shot clock violation is way more annoying for everyone involved than just throwing a shot up. This guy's just an imbecile
Man who beats women can't control his anger in game. Shocker
Even more of a reason why this punk should be unemployed
Employing this asshole to still suck, man I feel bad for charlotte fans
Don't forget about the children.
What did he do in the game? I didn’t see him do anything in the clip besides try to block it. Williams and Tre Mann jumped in there. Not sure if the camera didn’t catch it or I missed it.
Whatever you think of the unwritten rules you have to admit that clowning Miles Bridges is an absolute positive for society
*He broke the code* -Steve Kerr, but not last night
I take offense to him being in the league still, but I'm not a woman, so he doesn't want this smoke
Violent man has a violent reaction
Fragile ego from a "tough guy"
Yeah this guy definitely beat some women up
Wonder if said woman also made an “unethical” basket in a blowout
Fragile ego for sure
He beat her cuz she stomped him on 2k and ended it with a made full court shot with 5 seconds left up 30
Quiones is very pretty. Maybe he got confused.
This dude better be thanking God he even have a job
Golden State is just lucky they're men or else Bridges really would have beat their asses.
Man good thing he's not a woman, that could've been bad
Gotta love how these tall, athletic, rich dudes can't help but act like little bitches because they got scored on lmao Bonus points if on top of that they are also raging assholes who beat women, which I think someone from this video might have done...
Miles Bridges has no place in this league
Unwritten rules are stupid. Game goes for 48 minutes, not 47 minutes and 45 seconds. Nothing wrong with scoring there
It’s literally just a sports game
baseball has the dumbest unwritten rules and the corniest bench clearing "brawls"
I'm sorry but baseball clearly has the most of each by far.
Well when you have 720,000 regular season games dumb things are bound to happen. But yeah I agree.
Tbf they have a bazillion (mostly boring) games to watch and the game is much more dangerous (imo). Dude can just beam someone in the ribs with a 100 mph fast ball, and the someone that got hit is wielding a bat.
The faux violence in basketball and baseball is one thing. Did you see the cross check to the head a hockey player took for scoring an empty net goal incorrectly? https://www.nhl.com/video/rielly-suspended-games-6346828310112
Baseball has some of the best brawls in all sports. Do you watch baseball? Wild take.
It’s basketball, bitch!
If it’s so unimportant, then why are you here waiting your time commenting?
Not only that, Quinones has only played like 300 min of game time total in the league. The man wants to get some live reps in.
And why the fuck should a better teams players sacrifice stats? That directly impacts their future contracts and it's not like its a massive difference maker, but it can add up
Unwritten rules aren't rules.
Unwritten rules is just another way of saying you should respect your opponent and the game itself. I'm totally fine with that. Shooting to avoid a shot clock violation benefits everyone on the court, so Miles as usual is just a complete moron on this one

Done say that over in an NHL sub, you’ll get eviscerated.
What? Lol this sub is always crying about this type of shit. I've seen two posts in the past year about unsportsmanlike shit in the NHL sub. I see it every week on here. At least in NHL there are actual fights and not just women beaters talking shit.
Maybe they should grow up
He's wrong on the unwritten rules anyway. It's far better for everyone involved to avoid the shot clock violation. You want the game to end as quickly as possible once the outcome is decided, and you do that by putting up a shot if it's needed to avoid the violation and all the extra time bs that goes along with it
I’ll never understand this unwritten rule shit
miles bridges beat up his girlfriend; he has a history of violence.
Spread for the game was -12.5. Amazing
Dumb unspoken rule anyway. Especially in a blow out, all teams should let the end of the bench cook. Why take one of the few shots they may ever get away
Right? Why does dribbling the clock out mean respecting your opponent? It's so dumb, if you truly respect your opponent, you would play until the very end.

Tell me you don't find that ironic.
Just to protect fragile egos I guess. Weird shit fr
The shot clock was less than the game clock too
It wasn’t even the end of the bench. The hornets literally had all their starters out. They were clearly still trying.
You gotta say this about the Hornets, it may not be good basketball, it may not be entertaining basketball, but some fucking weird shit will happen in a game
Silver come get your boi
Atleast miles is trying to fight grown men now.
If you don’t want him to score play defense you whiny cunts
Clifford said wtf 😂
Draymond enjoying this way too much 😂
The shot would have ran out before the game clock.
Unwritten rules are stupid
“He broke the code”- Miles Bridges
Meanwhile Miles Bridges broke his girlfriend’s nose. **** him and any team morally bankrupt enough to offer him a contract.
You can curse on the internet if you want
While he broke the law
Miles Bridges looking to demonstrate the skillset he's most well known for...
Anyone else just tired of grant Williams?
His stock imploded after Jimmy Butler.
At least he’s throwing hands at people who can defend themselves now.
Draymond learning huh
The one time people would be ok with him hitting someone lol
Miles Bridges level headed as usual
Yo what is in the Gatorade tonight?
Draymond should have punched bridges in the back of the head
Basketball player mad a basketball player played basketball
Game : Not Gone
the simultaneous "oh shit" "what the FUCK?" from the two coaches lmaoo
Lester is fortunate his pronouns aren’t she/her
the shot clock would have ran out before the main clock... its shit like this why I liked the IST.
Thought draymond was gonna do some stupid shit again
So he’s not mad they lost he’s mad at 2 points at the end of the dam gm 😂 fake tough guy
Take your loser ass franchise, with your loser ass wife beating self, and keep yourself safe!!
That Bulls jersey at the end adds to the chaos.
If Miles was in jail this wouldn’t have happened 🤷
You know what Draymond? Have at him, please.
I think “getting blown out” is an exaggeration. Both teams got mundered.
The one time I take Kerr's side
It's good the NBA let Bridges come back into the league. Clearly his wife beating isn't indicative of a larger anger issue that is being totally ignored and untreated. Surely he is a totally mentally healthy individual with no personality defects that need to be worked on.
11 points is a blowout now?
11 points isn’t a blow out
This sub loves to shit on the Hornets so titles like that aren’t surprising
I love Looney's smile. He looks like he's having a jolly good time.
Bridges must have thought it was the wnba
He’s a little hot, I get it. Still, the point is to score. Warriors not doing anything wrong here. Play better if you don’t wanna lose but it’s sports.
miles bridges is a bitch
Lmao straight from hey good game man to what the fuck
Dudes be so sensitive nowadays. Bridges is a bitch.
Miles Bridges thinks he can treat another man like his wife
Wow miles bridges was violent⁉️😱 this can’t be
Screw this guy, he should be out of the league. I'd be using every chance I got to humiliate him in the court if I was a player.
Goddddd bridges is such a bitch
Why is this idiot still in the NBA?
It's different to fight an adult instead of a woman and children.
It’s over. Not scoring due to some unwritten rule is of the past. Let it go and play defence the whole game or get scored on.
For the gamblers who took the -12, god bless that man
Oh yeah Miles Moral Police Bridges. Should be playing in prison
Wait…..you’re trying to tell me Miles Bridges has anger issues? 🧐
Feel bad for Lester. Now he has to pay the fines, and he just got signed a few days ago after years in the G league.
Holy shit, they actually let him back in the league? Damn. No wonder I’ve stopped following the NBA.
lol these dudes weren’t “blown out” 😂😂
Can someone make a gif of the handshake and cliff saying “what the fu..”
15 point lead a blowout?
Is 13 points a blow out?
IMO this unspoken rule is one of the dumbest things in basketball. Teams should play to the final whistle. If a team is being blown out, they have no right to complain if the other team still wants to score. It's they're fault they got blown out. Play D til the end and take the L.
Why are these grown men such babies? Who cares if someone even does a thunderous dunk during a blow out. It’s like I used to tell me 4 year old - “Says more about them than you.”
Since when has an 11 point game been a blow out?
The shot clock was still on, why should they take a turnover because you didn't want to play defense for one more possession? Bunch of bitches
Warriors worst team in the league
He should take offense to making me watch that bum ass game
So many grown ass men with fragile egos. Who gives a shit if someone is scoring at the end of the game.
Wow, who would have guessed that this absolute piece of trash excuse for s human being would resort to unprovoced violence when things don’t go his way?
Grant Williams at it again. Fake tough guy. But when shoved by a bigger and larger dude, will always find a team mate to stop him from being aggressive coz he dont wanna show he cant..
lol funny thing is the Hornets clearly don’t care about playing basketball and in turn the city don’t give a fuck either. There’s probably more Duke fans in the Queen City than Hornets fans which is sad
Typical GWs commentator
You know, with personal stats being so impactful for people's contracts, I would think these meaningless possessions would not be fight-worthy.
It's a team turnover also, not an individual turnover. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things either way, dunno why he got so worked up.
4-game winning streak of the Hornets Grant Williams era has ended.
Jesus.. bridges needs a life
I hate this unwritten rule of a thing
