Is Draymond getting suspended again?

Is the league going to review this latest weird play by Draymond? They reviewed it in game and said it was a common foul, but it is yet another very odd thing he does. This guy is a menace lol. He is regularly doing these odd bodily gyration movements to hurt others, really funny looking stuff, but dangerous. I feel the league is going to crack down, not let it go.

A lot of these highlight dunks are really offensive fouls

I hate to ruin the spectacularness of some of these dunks like Anthony Edwards, or the guy that teabagged Reaves. But a lot of these are offensive fouls. Like pushing off the guy with the off arm etc. IIRC Blake Griffin started this years ago, at least getting away with it, when he did amazing dunks but just shoving the guy out of the way with his off arm. But now it has become so prevalent it's not even questioned anymore.

NBA teams don't practice designed plays anymore

Other than a few out of bounds or end of quarter plays, teams don't really practice plays anymore. In prior eras, teams would practice together every day. They would work on designed plays. Things like running the triangle or other kinds of offenses/defenses that require coaching and practice....these are all gone now. All they do now is drive and kick, and the players basically just come together and play pick up.
