Greetings my peeps and welcome to the all things basketball podcast with your boy GD.
In this episode I'll be doing my mid-season grades guys.
I'll give you all the grades for the players there.
Also NBA mid-season awards.
I'll be doing my awards section there so we'll talk about those players and coaches and so forth.
And then also incident in at Ohio State with the star player in women's basketball
Caitlin Clark. I'll talk about that as well so just sit back relax and enjoy the show guys.
Okay guys it's your boy GD back with the all things basketball with GD podcast.
And I wanted to do next mid-season report along with that giving out my grades and so forth.
So I'm going to do that. Well I did want to cover mid-season awards.
We're at the midway point of the season so I'll give you all the candidates that I see.
And then after that one other news item as of basketball importance I would think.
We'll just cover those three for today. Of course eventually I will have my week 13 review.
But in this episode we'll do Knicks mid-season report cards.
We'll do mid-season awards throughout the NBA and then the other news items.
So let's get right into it shall we. The New York Knicks.
At this point they have played about more than half of their games.
And they look pretty good guys. So I want to give out my grades and I'll do so.
I'll start with the bench first and then I'll do the starters.
Now just to let you know in advance I will not be giving a grade to OG Ananobe because he just
got here. So I won't be grading him. I won't be grading any of the guys who came with him.
Preston Sature also Malachi Flynn. I won't be grading Jericho Sims because remember he missed
a lot of times so really couldn't get a feel for kind of how his season is going. So I won't be
grading him. Guys at the end of the bench I won't be bothering with. Basically it'll be eight players
guys. Eight players that I'll be covering. So let us get right into it. I will start with Miles McBride.
Otherwise known as Deuce McBride. Our backup point guard 6-2. So for Deucey's scoring over four
points a game along with about a six per game. Right now well you're going to see those numbers
climb guys with the absence of Emanuel quickly. So he's immediately slotted in as the next guy up
behind Jalen Brunson. So he's shooting from the field over 45 percent about 45 and a half.
Well 43.5 percent from three and 80 percent from the free throw line. So Deuce McBride
making the most of his opportunities now that Emanuel quickly has now gone to Toronto.
And he's had some pretty good games so far guys. So it seems as if he's getting comfortable being
that next guy up. All in all I will give him a C plus because before the trade he didn't really get
that much burn. So he's getting all the minutes he can handle now playing behind Brunson and he's
making the most of it. So I will give him a C plus. Next Quentin Grimes the now backup shooting guard
6-5. And remember he started the season as the starter. He got the injury so he kind of lost his
job pretty much because of inconsistency. He's scoring about seven points per game. Not much
rebounds not much assists. He's shooting only 39 percent from the field guys which is the obvious
reason why he's now a bench player. Nearly 38 percent from three 71.4 from the free throw line.
And he started in 18 games guys but now he's been relegated to the bench. There's been rumors
swirling around him not being happy about that and so forth. But Quentin I kind of have to get on
you a little bit because you know we saw you working out in the offseason. You was working with
JJ Redick. We just knew this year you were going to pop and that didn't happen. And I know he's
complaining about his role that he's more than just a spot up shooter and so forth. I think when
the rubber meets the road guys I think Quentin may end up being traded. He'll probably be packaged
for whoever the Knicks try and acquire. So he'll get his chance. It'll probably have to be elsewhere.
He'll get his chance but I don't know what to say. He's had his opportunity and he kind of
squandered it away a little bit. Nonetheless all in all I'll give him a C. I won't give him a failing
grade. I'll give him a C because he still gives you something on the defensive end and he still can
knock down some threes when needed. It seems like his game is starting to get a little better as
well with the absence of a quickly because it's being known that you know you're going to need
some more scoring punch now that quickly is gone. So it seems like his scoring is starting to come
around a little bit but I still give him a C. So that's my grade for him. Josh Hart. Josh Hart
are back up small forward but he can play power forward in a pinch given his 6-4 size. He started
out the season slow guys and then he started to turn it on as the season progressed. Scoring over
seven points a game giving you over six rebounds and nearly three assists. But Josh Hart you know
him. He's a dog. He's a guy who's going to go in there. He's going to be the catalyst coming off
the bench and that's just who he is. From the field he's shooting just 44% from the field
from three not what you want to see nearly 32% and over 79% from the free throw line.
But Josh Hart you know what you're getting with him. He's not going to play outside of himself
and he's what this team needs especially coming off that bench with that bench mob there. So all
in all I give Josh Hart a B. It could have been higher but again he had kind of the slow start
in the beginning of the season but it seems like his play now is picking up. Then I will turn my
attention to Mitchell Robinson. Now Mitchell Robinson he is now out with that ankle our center seven feet tall.
He appeared in 21 games so he just reaches my kind of threshold. I put a threshold that
that player should at least have played half of the 41 games so that I'll put it at 20 or 21.
So he reaches the threshold. His average above six points per game over 10 rebounds a steal and a
half and his blocks to me were kind of down over a block per game. Shooting from the field you know
he's going to be efficient in that regard given this limited opportunities over 59% and from the
free throw line that always leaves something to be desired just a shade under 37% from the free throw
line which is Pauling. Mitchell Robinson you know he's the anchor for the defense. There was a lot
of rumbling skies of him being a defensive player of the year candidate that's how well he was playing
so to have him go down with the ankle was unfortunate but it seems like now that the league
has ruled that the Knicks won't get the disabled player exemption it seems like he could be back
later in the season guys. It'd be nice if he could come back. Knicks surely need him that's for sure.
All in all I give Mitchell Robinson a B plus for what he gives you on the defensive end throw a few
lobs this way and so forth. I always give you my recipe for him that you give him some lobs early
and that'll keep him engaged and involved in the game. Mitchell Robinson sorely missed but
hopefully we'll see him the latter half of the season guys. So that turns my attention to the
starting lineup now. I'll start with a guy summons into action in Robbison's place and that's
Isaiah Hartenstein. Now playing the starting center at seven feet tall as well. He played in
nearly all the games but he just got hurt recently guys has a ankle sprain so Hartenstein is what he
has given you over six points per game kind of in the same vein as Mr. Robinson. Eight and a half
rebounds to assist over a steal per game over a block per game. From the field just like his guy
Robinson nearly 61% and from the free throw line a far cry better than Robinson in that regard
at just about 70% and in his 16 starts guys he has four double doubles he has seven games where he
pulled down 15 or more rebounds guys so I expect those rebound numbers to rise and he's been what
Robinson was supposed to be provided he was healthy and you gotta remember two guys Hartenstein's
playing for a new contract will it be Mitchell Robinson big perhaps but we'll see but Hartenstein
has been a godsend as far as him covering for Mitchell Robinson with that said I give him a
a minus guys reasons not a full a the fact that he was recently thrust into starting for this team
but he was solid coming off your bench make no mistake about that but he's really shown himself
as a starter in this small sample size so all in all I give him a minus guys let us move to
Dante DeVincenzo who had now taken over the shooting guard position the starting shooting
guard position over Quentin Grimes Dante he started out the season slow but has really come on
so much so that he's now the starter in the backcourt with Jalen Brunson and it seems those two
guys really play off each other well he's the spot up shooter you were hoping that Quentin Grimes
could be he's been that and then some he's been as good as advertised actually better than I thought
to be honest with you I thought you know he gets some spot play here and there but he is really
risen to the occasion as the starter here over 11 points per game over three rebounds
two or so assists and over steel per game and I tell you what guys he's been playing defense
pretty well at the shooting card position as well guys he has also averaged 2.6 threes per game
and he has started in 24 games guys as of this recording here and his percentages
is approaching near 46 percent from the field 42.5 from 3.0 range which you love that and 73.5
percent from the free throw line so Dante DeVincenzo a free agent signing in the off season that has
paid dividends for this team with that said I give him a b plus reason to be plus because he did
have kind of the rocky start but he's really smoothed himself into shape here being a solid
contributor for this team that leaves us to Julius Randall our power forward 6-8 he's played in every
game guys his efficiency has been better this season over 47 percent from the field from three
he has suffered not even 30 percent from three 77.3 percent from the free throw line he's had about
18 double doubles guys you can see the chemistry between him and Brunson getting better especially
this season you know the thing with Julius Randall he's going to give you the numbers
right now he's over 24 points per game over nine rebounds nearly five assists so he's producing pretty
much at his normal clip it seems like for all intense purposes he will end up being an all-star
again barring folly so all in all Julius Randall you gotta give him an A guys he's been that for
this team but of course the big question with Randall is we know what he can do in the regular
season it's the postseason where we have most of our worries about him but I think that you're
gonna need to I don't want to say load manage but you're gonna have to manage him so that when the
season winds down he isn't like worn out and beat up coming into the postseason you need him fresh
you need him ready to go because this postseason really is going to be the test guys if he doesn't
show up in this postseason I think the Knicks have to take a long look in the mirror this postseason
for Julius Randall is probably as important as any in his career hey listen I hope he does show up
in the postseason because if that happens that means the Knicks are doing well which means they're
advancing through rounds so Julius Randall all eyes on you come not the regular season we know
you'll be fine there it's the postseason where us Knicks fans really are on pins and needles as far
as your production and then last player I'll talk about Jalen Brunson now I did an episode where I
talked about them in terms of the All-Star voting and then I talked about possible east reserves I
did not mention Jalen Brunson but I fully expect him to be a reserve this year in the All-Star game
I know it's going to be tough because I can rattle off all the guards Holly Burton Trey Young
Donovan Mitchell Tyrese Max he's going to have to be talked about amongst being a All-Star
and Dame Lillard so you got five guys there along with Brunson how they dole it out we'll see but
Brunson has to be an All-Star this year he just has to with what he's been doing guys he's missed
a couple of games his averages over 26 points per game six and a half assists nearly four rebounds
a steal per game shooting it from the field guys 47 and a half percent you'd like that
it's from three where I really stand up and take notice 42.3 percent from three you'd love that
and then from the free throw line 83.2 percent there he's had 16 games guys where he scored 30
and above he's had three games where he scored 40 and above and he has a 50 point game as well
Jalen Brunson absolutely tearing it up guys so with that said he gets my a plus guys he's been
everything the Knicks have won in and then some and even so much so he's upped his average from
last year pretty much across the board so Jalen Brunson the point guard the New York Knicks have
sorely needed for seems like decades guys he's been that good so that's your players guys now to the
coach and then we'll talk about the president of Knicks basketball Tom Tibberdough right now
as of this writing he's about 25 and 17 fifth in the Eastern Conference and guys it's only like
three and a half games that separate five teams and they're all bunched together it's Cleveland
and it's Miami Indiana and Orlando they're all kind of grouped together along with the Knicks
everyone against these teams it's like doubly important because you want that tiebreaker with
some of these teams if we both were tied you want to have that season series under your belt in the
case of a tiebreaker but Tom Tibberdough listen I mean he has them amongst the top six you want that
oh and also he got his 500 win as a head coach he did that against Memphis by the way he has over
500 wins now guys so kudos to Tibberdough for that my issue with Tibberdough he can burn you guys out
man even now with Oji on the nobies playing him all sorts of high minutes although he was playing
those kind of minutes in Toronto as well so he's used to it I think Tom Tibberdough he has to be
wiser when it comes to kind of resting guys especially if you're blowing out a team the
quicker you can pull your guys off the floor the better so they can get that rest I don't want to
suggest low management but if you know a guy has a nagging injury I don't see any harm in
sitting a guy if he has kind of a nagging injury like Jaylen Brunson he's side a couple of games
because of that Randall you know he's gonna be nicked up at some point so you want to be very
careful with how you handle these guys and so forth that's my only issue with Tibberdough
other than that he has his team going in the right direction that's all you can ask for from your coach
with all of that said I gotta give him a B plus for having them right now fifth in the conference
but of course there's room for rising up to charts as well but B plus is what I'm giving
Tom Tibberdough then that leads me to the final person how great is Leon Rose who in the off-season
signed Dante DeVincenzo I mentioned that he also traded Obi-Toppin in the off-season got back second
rounders not what you want to see if we're talking a lottery pick type player and that's what you
got in return and then of course the trade for Ojiata Nobi in which you had to relinquish
RJ Barrett and Emanuel quickly there was no path to him getting started minutes unfortunately
he now has an opportunity in Toronto to do that and I definitely wish the kid well in that regard
and RJ Barrett who was again called on to be the third option in this offense and you know he gave
your offense 18 points per game but it was just the inconsistency the highs the lows that you got
with him that I guess Leon Rose said you know what I think we need to make this move they brought in
Ojiata Nobi along with pressure to Chua and Malachi Flynn and now RJ is now in the city where he made
his bones and that's Toronto so fresh starts for Barrett and quickly I wish those guys well
and we'll see what the Ojiata Nobi will see what happens with him so far so good guys he's been
great for this team thus far his ability to cover one through five has really helped this team a lot
and with that said does Leon have another trade up his sleeve come the trade deadline who knows
or even before who knows but on his surface guys I'll give him a minus because of the way the
Knicks were playing now the way the free agent sign and the defense Chenzo has really paid dividends
thus far yeah so I'm giving him a minus guys all right so that is my grade for the Knicks in that
regard so let's keep rolling along all right so we've done that we did the Knicks report card
now I want to do midseason awards run through those right quick we'll start with MVP first
right now Joel Embiid your reigning MVP having a fantastic season guys absolutely fantastic
36 points per game over 11 rebounds nearly six assists nearly two blocks per game over steel per
game shooting it nearly 54 percent from the field which you like 36.3 from three point range you know
he can like some pull up from there and 88.7 percent from the free fill line he has had
two triple doubles and 23 double doubles thus far guys my only caveat is he's played in 31 games
so if he has another 40 or so games to go that means he really can't miss a lot of time because
remember you got to reach that 65 game window so he doesn't have a lot of room for missing games so
I'll be interested to see how many games he sits how many games he plays so bear that in mind because
if he slits below the 65 game threshold that opens the door for others to sneak into the conversation
so with that said we'll talk about the multiple time MVP Nikolai Yokic he's played in about 44
games as of now over 26 points per game for him 12 rebounds nine assists block per game over steel
per game he's shooting at 59 percent from the field guys so you know he's missed the efficient there
from three point range those 36.2 percent and then 82 and a half percent from the free throw line
he's leading the league in triple doubles with 13 he has 25 double doubles guys so
Nikolai Yokic the Joker doing Joker things always going to be a legit MVP candidate so you can never
leave his name out. Shy Gilchis Alexander guys you heard me singing his praises all season long
only missed a couple of games guys he's been available that's been really a great help to that
Oklahoma City team over there over 31 points per game above six assists about five and a half rebounds
and he's leading the league in steals guys at 2.3 so you like that very efficient from the field for
a guard like him 54.5 percent from the field three point shooting still leaves a lot to be desired
just under 32 88.7 percent from the free throw line so he's pretty much automatic there he has
five double doubles on the season guys and most importantly his team is looking very good right
now so Shy Gilchis Alexander a worthy person in the MVP conversation so I'll be interested to see
the latter part of the season how his team progresses and how he plays along with that
so that would be most important in this MVP race all right so that's your MVP let's talk about
Six Man of the Year now two guys you eliminate from this conversation who are actually front runners
last season Emmanuel Quickley who's now a starter in Toronto so he will no longer be in the Six Man
conversation and then Malcolm Brogdon who's actually a starter now for Portland over there
with all those young players over there they figure let's have a veteran presence in the
starting lineup so Brogdon is not in the mix as far as Six Man of the Year so where does that leave
us guys how about a guy like Karris Levert for the Cleveland Cavaliers he's only started in one game
he's appeared in 31 averaging 16 points per game over four assists three and a half rebounds in a
steal per game he's shooting at 42.3 percent from the field 34.7 from three and 74.3 percent from
free throw line Karris Levert on a team that is playing well they're amongst the top six in the east
and he's been a solid contributor especially given the fact that Cleave has been dealing with injuries
all season long with Darius Garland with Evan Mobley so a guy like Levert has really helped
him in that regard definitely this could be a year where Karris Levert could sneak and get it
also Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz he has started in 19 games guys so we'll have to pay
attention closely because it seems like now they're bringing them off the bench you have to watch it
closely the fact that actually two facts whether he comes off the bench or not and the other caveat
is if he gets traded there's been a lot of rumblance about him possibly being moved so both of those
two things could affect his candidacy for six man of the year but he's averaging coming off the bench
or starting over 18 points per game five assists and 3.7 rebounds shooting it over 42 percent from
the field only 31.3 from 3. range and nearly automatic at 88.7 percent from the charity strike
so Jordan Clarkson a worthy candidate so we'll see and then Bobby Portis a guy who was in the
running last year I think could be in the running this year he hasn't started any games for the
Milwaukee Bucks he's been strictly coming off the bench he's peered in just about every game
12.3 points per game 6.7 rebounds I think he's a guy you can see making a major move in the
latter half of the season for the Milwaukee Bucks especially as they start to low manage
those guys over there guys like Giannis guys like Middleton possibly even Lopez so I really see Portis
taking on a major role going down the stretch so that could definitely enhance his chances at
six man of the year shooting it over 50 percent from the field 36.6 percent from 3 and over 77
percent from the free field line so Bobby Portis another name to keep in mind and the six man of
the year race there but I would say right now the leader in the clubhouse is probably Karius
Lavert if I were to take a guess let us move on to defensive player of the year and I have three
guys here let's start with Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers right now he's averaging
nine defensive rebounds 2.4 blocks amongst the top shot blockers in the league and above a
steal per game also guys if you're into the advanced stats he's second in defensive win shares
and eighth in defensive rating Anthony Davis this could be the year where he puts it all together
guys he's definitely somebody who needs to be in the defensive player of the year compensation
another guy Rudy Goldberg for the Minnesota Timberwolves has nine defensive rebounds per game
over two blocks per game for him but get this guys he's number one in defensive win shares
and he also is number one in defensive ratings Rudy Goldberg looks like he has bounced back
from that first season he had with the Timberwolves seem like he's bounced back now definitely
showing that with the advanced stats and with the regular stats as well so Rudy Goldberg
definitely a worthy candidate for defensive player of the year and how's this Joel Embiid
he's a guy who could get into conversation nearly nine defensive rebounds per game
nearly up two blocks per game and over a steal per game he's tenth in defensive win shares but
second in defensive rating so Joel Embiid not a name you automatically think when it comes to
defense but quietly he's been a defensive presence especially for that Philadelphia team so I think
it's out of these three guys here I don't see Jared Jackson defending his crown I don't see that not
with the presence of these guys so and to me the leader in the clubhouse here I'm actually going
to say Rudy Goldberg I think he could end up getting it although there'll be a loud groundswell
for Davis if he plays the amount of games where he qualifies so I think it could be a two horse
race although Embiid deserves to be in the discussion but I think it's probably between those two guys
there coach of the year now this one I've heard of myriad of names but I'll give you the three
names I think should be considered Mark Dagenault I've mentioned the Oklahoma City Thunder right
now they're on top of the Western Conference they have six game win streaks and five game win streaks
they are third and point scored amongst the teams as well so Mark Dagenault has this team playing
above their skis guys definitely a coach who I thought deserved consideration last season
but nobody was getting it above Mike Brown forget about it but this season he is really has this
team going in high gear so Mark Dagenault I think is a very worthy coach of the year candidate
next one Chris Finch for the Minnesota Timberwolves they've been a surprise team guys also tied with
Oklahoma City Thunder Finch has been November's coach of the month and his team has a seven game
win streak and a six game win streak in their arsenal thus far and right now they're third
and three point percentage amongst all the teams so Chris Finch has these guys playing well and
atop of that Western Conference over there and then the last person I'll mention Joe Mazzulla guys
for the Boston Celtics his team is the top team in the entire NBA he was coach of the month in the
east for the month of December and he has eight game win streaks two six game win streaks and
a five game win streak this season thus far his team is fourth in scoring but first in total
rebounds so Joe Mazzulla the guy who I thought could have got some consideration last season but
again nobody was beating out Mike Brown but hey he has his team on top again and I think he deserves
some recognition for that I could go either way it was any of these guys when the dust settles I
wouldn't have too much of an argument but I think Dagenault is probably the leader in the clubhouse
because of his team overachieving the way that they are so I would say Dagenault first all right
guys a couple more categories and then I want to get to the news item I have real quick rookie
of the year guys I think it's just a two horse race I don't see anybody other than these two guys
of course the obvious one Victor Wimba Yama who's having a fantastic rookie season 37 games played
over 20 points per game 10 rebounds nearly three assists he's leading the league in blocks guys
with 3.2 blocks and over a steal per game shooting it from the field 46.4 percent I think that number
could be better if you had better guard play especially point guard play the three-point
shooter I think he needs to cut down on that he's not even at 30 percent he's just shy of it and
80.7 percent from the free throw line Victor Wimba Yama is good as advertised team record not so great
but he's doing this thing guys it's no fault of his own that's for sure and then the second candidate
Chet Holmgren who actually sat out his rookie season so this is being considered his rookie season
but he's playing well guys he's appeared in 43 games thus far hasn't really missed much games here
over 17 points per game for him over seven rebounds 2.6 blocks for him so he's up there
amongst the league leaders and nearly three assists per game shooting it over 54 percent so you'd like
that 38.2 percent from three-point range good there as well and 78.8 percent from the free throw line
so you have both these guys here as candidates guys I think the ground swore will probably go
more towards Victor but Chet you got to give him credit for what he's doing and with a team that's
playing very well he's an important piece to that team the interest is to see how that race
shapes up as the season goes on most improved player this is the area where you know it gets
kind of tricky but I'm gonna give you the candidates Desmond Bain for the Memphis Grizzlies who has
really stepped up in the absence of Ja Moran in the beginning of the season but now he's out he's
gonna be out for like four to six weeks so will they have an effect on him in the most improved
player race could but nonetheless he appeared in 37 games 24.4 points per game he's up three
points actually from his average last season 4.6 rebounds well over five assists per game a steal
per game as well shooting at 47.4 percent from the field 38.3 percent from three point line
and 86.4 percent from free throw line so Desmond Bain a guy who you can make a case for most improved
player Tyrese Maxi played in 41 games averaging nearly 26 points per games guys he's up five
points from his average last season 6.7 assists so he's up in that regard as well 3.7 rebounds
in a steal per game shooting it nearly 45 percent from the field nearly 38 percent from three and
86 percent from the free throw line Tyrese Maxi stepping in where they needed him with the course
subsequent trade of James Harden over to the Clippers so Tyrese Maxi stepping in and playing
well guys playing all-star caliber basketball he's playing that guys and then here's a name that I
think needs to be included if you want to base it on how you based it last year where you had the
guys who were all-star caliber guys in Laurie marketing you had SGA shy Gilchis Alexander as
well so if you're basing it that way guys you have to include this player in the mix for most
improved player and that player is Jaylin Brunson for the New York Knicks I gave you his stats when
I talked about the midseason report card for the Knicks but he is a player who has improved his
scoring went up actually nearly three points higher than it was last year he's a guy who
could very well be included in the all-star game I think he has a case for most improved player
we'll see how it shakes out but based on the criteria of last year Jaylin Brunson deserves to
be in this conversation for most improved player so that's my story I'm sticking to it all right
and then executive of the year Sam Presti of the Oklahoma City Thunder you can make a case for him
with all his draft choices panning out in the way they're playing this year so you can make a case
for him Brad Stevens for the Boston Celtics he made the trade for poor Zingas also made the trade
for Drew Holiday teams playing fantastic so Brad Stevens definitely I think is probably a leader
in the clubhouse and then Leon Rose of the New York Knicks you have to include him I told you
the offseason moves he made the end season trade for Oceano Nobby and he may have another trade
coming down the pike so definitely belongs in this conversation so those are my three guys
for exactly of the year but like I said Brad Stevens probably the one who stands out as the
leader in the clubhouse here so all right guys so that's the midseason awards and then quickly I
want to talk about women's college basketball number two Iowa falls to number 18 Ohio State and that
happened in Ohio State and that game went to overtime but Ohio State wins it 192 Ohio State
rallies in the fourth quarter to send that game into overtime where Iowa got outscored 17 to 9
in the overtime Caitlyn clock everybody's been singing her praises she's having a fantastic year
again reigning national player of the year she'll get it again she's leading women's basketball
and scoring at 31 points per game she's second in assists with 7.7 assists in that game that she lost
she scored 45 points guys with seven assists three rebounds two steals and for the winners there
Ohio State Cody McMahon she had 33 points along with 12 rebounds in two blocks but the big story
in that game Ohio State fans they stormed the court after the win over Iowa as Ohio State knocks
off the number two team in the country so the fans storm the court so much so one fan collides with
Caitlyn clock and knocks her to the ground she's low-winded and you know they have to help her off
the court and so forth so I just want to talk about fans storming the court I think is the most
ridiculous thing in sports the fact of when your team wins you rush the court and go down on the
court I think it's dangerous for the players I think it's dangerous for the coaches I think it's
dangerous for even the fans themselves I just don't get it I really don't that's one of the things
I'd never understood about sports as a whole in baseball they rush the field well they try to but
security is put that on lock and pro basketball they don't do that like they used to I'd never
understood the premise behind that it just bothers me some people are saying oh Caitlyn
clock she kind of flopped when the lady hit her or whatever I'm not gonna say one way or the other
but it seems like it was a pretty significant blow she took from the way I saw it some people say oh
Caitlyn ran into her it was the other way around I'm like I'm not even gonna go there with that but
I think it's dangerous this is the reason why this sort of thing can happen something serious
could have happened that young lady where she tore up a knee or twist the ankle or whatever so
