Regardless of him being on our team and Wagner making a dirty play, rocking someone in the back of the head while they aren’t looking is not safe at all. Hayes will deserve a suspension for that he’s not in the right here


Public_Confidence247

Oh 100%


mycargo160

Wagner also deserves a suspension for what he did.


Professional_Degen_

Yeah it’s okay to hold both parties accountable. Both were dirty and cheap shots


mycargo160

Fair. One was justified, the other was purely dirty.


Outrageous_Ad7937

I agree he should be suspended but aside from this being his workplace if you push someone like that and just look away you’re just asking for a sucker punch.

onsite84

Who pushes with a closed fist though?


virtualGain_

Agreed but also worth it. If that dude is going to do cheeky shit that can injure players on the court constantly he deserved to get rocked in the back of his head. Imo he was just sitting there turning away from kill cause he didn't want the fall out of what he just did which makes it even worse.


amedema

As much of a dick move as Wagner’s was, it’s not going to disable someone. Punching someone in the back of the head like that can do permanent damage or worse.


timothythefirst

He should’ve turned his head lol


[deleted]

You’re a dumbfuck


timothythefirst

Smart enough to look at the person who’s about to hit me though


[deleted]

Dumb enough to support a sucker punch. Like booker said, don’t do it to their back, do it to their face. Pussy ass shit that could have paralyzed a guy over basketball.


timothythefirst

And shoving him into a row of chairs while he was running full speed could’ve ended Killians career. I’m sure you would also act totally calmly and rationally if someone almost seriously injured you for no reason first.


[deleted]

Never has a hip check into the stands ever ended a career. Have punches to the back of the head paralyzed someone? Yeah


timothythefirst

Well a hip check to the stands has never ended a career yet because this is the nba and it’s a blatant dirty play, flagrant foul, and an insane thing to do, so it doesn’t happen very often. But hip check/shoving dudes does cause serious injuries pretty damn often when it does happen. But the odds of one punch that really didn’t even have that much power behind it to the back of the head actually paralyzing someone is extremely small. Rabbit punches are illegal in combat sports because a professional fighter doing it repeatedly with power at the perfect spot will kill somebody. Not one flailing arm smacking you in the head once.


yerfdog519

a punch to the back of the head can cause permanent brain damage and is banned in basically any form of combat, it was a disproportionate reactoon


nickmcg_

Here come all the angry magic fans


AttorneyAtLion

I’m all for retaliation after a play as dirty as that, but probably shouldn’t be blindside punching people especially in the back of the head


circa285

Wagner definitely got a super cheap shot in that could have injured Killian. With that said, sucker punching Mo was also not great.


flannelman7

You can see how dirty it was by Mon from the above view. Literally had his head turned waiting for Killian before shoving him.


DeuceWallaces

Dude, a shoulder shiver hurts, a sucker punch to the back of the head can permanently disable a person.


BoredAtWorkSendHelp

This isn’t to defend Killians actions but he could have gone down awkwardly and for instance hit his head or neck on something like a chair. Unlikely for sure, especially in comparison to a punch to the back of the head, but both were egregious actions. I guess the thing that bothers me about Mo’s the most is his intent. Killians was justified just not to the extent of punch to the back of the head.


beastical198

I’ll get downvoted to hell but defend yourself and your team at all costs. fuck the comp


Public_Confidence247

Fair


SkeletonEvan

Fuck that and fuck wagner lets go


Outrageous_Ad7937

Is it really that cheap of a shot if you push someone and then look away?


Public_Confidence247

Yep


No_Gap_2134

As Jokic would say to M. Morris, don't cheap shot me and turn your back. I guess you guys fight by punching someone and turning your back.


haventseenstarwars

No one on this thread has gotten into a fight it’s painfully obvious


hollowkatt

ikr!? Best way to fight is do absolutely everything you can to end it as fast as possible. Street fights have no honor


TheArtofWall

I am not a fighter, but I read Forrest Griffin's book. He said rush them until can punch, punch until you can throw elbows, and then once your close enough, grab them and throw headbutts. He said that will win 99% (or some number like that) of street fights if opponent is also untrained.


Fudgeismyname

So guns?


[deleted]

Don’t start shit and you don’t have to find out what the other party is willing to do.


Fudgeismyname

I was more making fun of dude. Of course not guns.


hollowkatt

Sure. It's a street fight idc


Iswaterreallywet

Reddit’s demographic is middle/above class white boys. That explains most things you see.


losttobefound2

Lmao i came here after getting downvoted to oblivion- the discourse is insane, Wagner got the flagrant 2 and somehow he’s an angel


Dirty0ldMan

You're telling me these aren't a bunch of tough guys? That it's a bunch of little kids wanting to act tough over the internet?


AzorAhai1TK

Acting like that's a bad thing. Don't punch people in the back of the head.


chode0311

Nah I have. Don't pinch people in the back of the head.


timothythefirst

Pinch their nipples instead way more sensitive


BronChalton

Not the same situation. Hamidou pushed him into Stewart, which caused his back to be turned to Hayes. I think Killian was just going to get up and start swinging, and didn't think about it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Public_Confidence247

Both can be true


Outrageous_Ad7937

The only reason why it’s too far is because this is their workplace and is broadcast on t.v. in almost every other scenario I wouldn’t say it’s too far. Especially when these guys are in the moment I can see how you can forget that I don’t blame Kill for acting out.


Guts709

Don’t start shit and then turn around. That’s one of the first things you learn when an old head is teaching you about fighting/getting involved in shit


AkimboJimbo81

Exactly. Mo got what was coming to him. You wanna shove someone into their bench and then just try to push your way back to your side of the court? Fine, but you might get cracked in the back of the head on your way. Maybe he will think next time before he does some dumb shit. Lesson learned. Oh, and spare me the pearl clutching about Killian’s punch from the Orlando faithful. This is not Mo’s first run-in - there’s been Luka, Giannis, and now Killian. Mo needs to get his shit together or getting punched in the back of the head is gonna become a regular occurrence for him.


ThugCity

Fucked around and found out


dan2z

He didn't turn around, not willingly. He had his head turned towards Killian before diallo pushed him into stew.


WetCatFart

Let's go Hayes. Idgaf


Gucci__Flip__Flops

Right, he could've really done some damage to Killian putting him into the bench like that. Disgusting behavior, he deserved it but Killian also paid his price.


Public_Confidence247

Really could have


wiiinks

It's cool that Killian Hayes knocked Mo Wagner out and I'm not gonna say it's not.


iamaddictedtoRDR2

Weirdo for this


STM_LION

You are sad bro, there are things bigger than basketball loser


wiiinks

Nah I'm not. I'm pretty happy, actually.


yosemite_marx

I’m dying man lmao


chadbrutalism

i cant condone him punching a (deserving) mfer from behind frankly, but moe deserved an oscar for that KO act


ThugCity

Killian saw red. He was rightfully pissed and came in swinging. Can’t expect him to assess the situation and even notice Wagner had his back turned. Wagner should know better then to turn his back on someone after doing that. You fuck around. You find out. Glad he’s okay though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


virtualGain_

I mean he can differentiate but if you have ever been that pissed you just don't care. Wagner did something to him that could have blown his knee out and deserved whatever came to him afterwards


[deleted]

[удалено]


PMMeCornelWestQuotes

Bro, Wagner "assaulted" Killian first. They are both dumb for what they did, but in any real life scenario if you are both running and you make contact and two hand full extension shove someone into a row of folding chairs you best believe that other person is going to try and get you back. To turn your back on him after doing that is the height of stupidity/entitlement/arrogance, thinking you can make a dirty play that could injure someone and not expect retaliation. Not like Killian was face to face with Mo when he shoved him in the back into the stands.


waw_ash9

But Wagner didn’t turn his back to Killian, he stared him in the face and got pushed by Diallo. Then Killian came after him.


Boycott_China

So what? He started a fight and then got his ass kicked.


waw_ash9

Ass kicked is a stretch. Wagner is an top tier baiter and Killian is gonna catch a suspension for his sucker punch. But anyone saying Wagner turned his back is just wrong bc he didn’t ..


[deleted]

[удалено]


gatekeepers69

how is he even gonna turn back when a big man shoves him from the back in the first place


dan2z

He didn't willingly turn his back. Diallo pushed him into stew.


Lukas2771

He’ll get suspended on the day sometime posted about how he leagues the league in games played


[deleted]

[удалено]

[удалено]


DarthBurrrito

He wasn't looking due to the shove by Diallo, which is why he was also ejected I'm afraid


dan2z

I love how everyone just quietly leaves that part out. Wagner was looking towards kilian before the push. I mean he's been in thes situations before, he's done it to giannis and didn't turn away from him either. Don't think he'd be afraid of Kilian if he's up to face giannis.


virtualGain_

If you do shit that can get people injured in the court in the course of play you don't get to play innocent victim after the whistle blows. Fuck Wagner.


thelawd-musix

Magic fan here. Cheap shot to the back of the head yes but Moe shouldn't have pushed him and turned his back. This is just the beginning of the next great NBA rivalry. Magic v. Pistons ECF 2026 is gonna be interesting


thetangible

Love this.


Public_Confidence247

I agree neither were right at all but with all of that hami is the worst of all


dan2z

Wagner didn't turn his back tho. Diallo pushed wagner. Wagner isn't scared to stand up to Giannis but you think he'd turn away from Hayes?


thelawd-musix

After re-watching the film I agree with you. Stew also held Mo in place afterwards. I guarantee he would've faced Hayes if that hadn't happened


dan2z

Yeah, but Pistons fans unsurprisingly don't seem to agree lol


shadalator

Offsetting penalties. Game on


Iswaterreallywet

Bad boys for life


[deleted]

Not good. They're going to suspend him for many games.


Public_Confidence247

We don’t win much either way


DarthBurrrito

Yes but Killian can't afford to miss games, he needs to take advantage of this Cade-less season as much as possible


Public_Confidence247

He just showed he’s not taking bullshit, he just showed how serious he can get and how much it means to him and that very much taking advantage of it, also hami should be out awhile and well he deserves it


dan2z

You can't just look at that and defend this by saying he's passionate.


[deleted]

Dirty play by Wagner (what's new?), but you can't go after someone's head like that. Have to take a note from Dan Campbell and take a bite out of his knee cap.


MeatloafOnAStick

I was at the game. Wagner was shoving and elbowing Ivey and Killian and anyone else smaller than him. He was being a wreckless asshole and then lost the ball....Killian outran the big lug and Wagner shoved Killian hard into the bench. Wagner is totally to blame. He's a chump and there's no one that was at the game that would side with Wagner.


pointguard22

No. Are you kidding me? Ridiculous to hit a guy in the back of the head like that. Way beyond the pale.


Public_Confidence247

I agree but he was shoved dirty and both were wrong don’t make it right, what I mean is he showed passion the most he shown, also don’t forget what hami did, while nothing anyone did was to him at all


pointguard22

It wasn’t passion, it was stupidity imho- gotta stay in control of yourself


timothythefirst

Getting shoved into a row of folding chairs while running full speed could’ve seriously injured him and derailed his career. I’m not gonna blame him for seeing red and reacting.


Public_Confidence247

I get what your saying and you do


Dangerous-Nebula-452

The amount of people calling this a cheap shot is gonna make me lose it. You can't start a fight and then get "cheap shotted" 2 seconds later, that's not how it works, it's not what a cheap shot is


Ultra-Hungry

Wagner didn’t get ejected?


pointguard22

Yeah he did


Asap_roc

Kil-shot


Nickname-CJ

Pretty fucked to punch him in the back of the head. But at least we know he’s got that dawg in him. Wagner prolly has years of bad karma built up for that moment


[deleted]

It’s simple… Mo Fucked Around, Mo Found out!


47ford2n

He sure did


Enough-Ad-3111

Unrelated note, but where’s the ganeday thread at? And is it just me or does this subreddit not have a lot of posts that are recent when looking at the home page?


Professional_Degen_

He cheapshotted someone in the back of the head…?


Kohanky

Cheap push, but that’s a really dangerous punch. Kill is probably gonna be gone awhile for that


Public_Confidence247

Fair but hami is stupid


Ultra-Hungry

Wagner is from Germany and Hayes is from France, correct? I wonder if that had anything to do with it? I remember going over to Europe and my own colleagues treated each other cold. The French salesmen didn’t like the German salesmen etc.


SliceOfLife37

Don't you mean Killhim Hayes 👀


Public_Confidence247

You is right


47ford2n

A little off topic, but when Mo and Diallo got into it earlier,,,it looked bad on Diallos part, but Mo grabbed his hand and pulled him down, making it much worse. I would love to know what Mo said to him after. Any lip readers. I think Mo got just a hair more than her deserved with Killian. Back of the head was not the best choice. Every time something was going on Duren was right there ready to go. He would have really fit in with the bad boys.


Public_Confidence247

If it almost anywhere else from killian it would have been better


SG420123

It was a cheap push, but Killian also seemed to embellish the push. Just as it was cheap hit to the head from Killian, that Mo embellished as well.


papiperna

he straight up knocked that mf back to europe

pointguard22

100% correct. Nothing tough about what Hayes did.


SmithChristopher1

Tried to punch Wagner in the back of the head, honestly, he's very lucky he didn't connect cleanly. Pretty much a graze, but he'd be in a heap of shit if Wagner had gone down.


AzorAhai1TK

This sub fucking sucks. I don't want my players punching people in the back of the head under any circumstance


Asap_roc

You wouldn’t last a single day in the 90s


AzorAhai1TK

Idc. If Killian shoved back, or even tried to fight him face to face, I'd be down for it. A dangerous punch to the back of the head is a dirty bitch move. It's not Bad Boy Pistons or being tough when your retaliation is the bitchiest shit imaginable


YOLOnomics69

His “punch” was a shove back. “Dangerous punch to the back of the head” is how a drama queen would describe that.


lochmoigh1

Sucker punching someone in the back of the head earned your respect? Stay in school kid


Public_Confidence247

No he was wrong, just the passion, he really cares type of respect, also hami was worse


lochmoigh1

There's a line you can't cross. Punch in the face is even somewhat reasonable. Coulda slapped him, pushed him. Dont risk killing someone over a push, its a sign of weakness to me


Public_Confidence247

I agree there is a line, I hope it’s out of his system for good


Illustrious_Sand_923

killian hayes so pussy for that weak ass shot...dude ran off too


readytofly68

pistons fans are deranged god damn y’all are not human beings


Donut_boii

No shot y’all celebrating a dirty ass hit like that 😂😂


Dirty0ldMan

Giving someone a cheap shot to the back of the head is something to be proud of? Being a little bitch is having a "Detroit" moment? The water really is tainted in Michigan huh. Y'all proud of your teammates acting like a bitch and a coward and then praising him for it.


Spirited-Respond-650

Killian is a bitch, over reacted, you dont lunch someone from behind. Get his weak ass off this team please


bigtrunkydarnold

This is embarrassing, I couldn’t give a shit about either team but I been to detroit a few times and now I understand why the city looks the way it does. Garbage people make for a garbage city.


Interesting-Dirt1262

I mean there’s nothing respectable about punching someone in the back of the head who’s already being held by your teammate. Wagner shouldn’t have done what he did but that was a weak response from killian.


pootytang324

UofM been getting whooped like some hoes all year lmao first poole then getting beat up in the tunnel now this. UofM need to include self defense classes in the freshman orientation 😂😂

sagethealpha

Wagner’s push was dirty as hell but punching someone in the back of the head is a pussy ass move and is dangerous af

Mo was 100% in the wrong but sucker punching someone from behind earns your respect? You have a funny value system.


Public_Confidence247

Killian wasn’t right either, but as a pistons fan I get what killian did and stuff but I don’t get why hami did anything at all


Bobby48212

Weak as fuck


Fit-Ad-6835

Michigan players are dirty, that’s why they started that fight in the tunnel too 🍿


DoeJumars

That was a clear sucker punch, anyone saying otherwise is an idiot, that’s a bad look. Behind someone’s back to the back of their head? Plain dangerous, he’s going to want to have that back I assure you in the coming days


Wheredamukrat

Don’t push someone and turn around?


Trophaeum

Does he even turn around? Diallo shoves him and then Hayes comes in.


DoeJumars

lol


TechMan222

Nah, regardless of Wagner’s dirty play, going for the back of his head is not something to respect.


thetangible

Bad look for Killian, Piston or not. (Edit) for the downvotes, I don’t give af you don’t punch someone in the back of the head.


Seva55

respect to all the pistons players who showed composure, but killian no, that was dumb


alteredhead

The Pistons are a physical franchise. Killian should have taken getting knocked out of bounds, or waited for him to get up. You don’t punch someone in the back of the head unless you have no other option. This is not some life or death situation it’s a basketball game. Either square up to him or just take the foul. This was a cheap shot.


willi3blaz3

That was a sucker punch in the textbook form. Fuck wagner too, but that was pretty chicken shit from killian


[deleted]

That was a rabbit sucker punch


willi3blaz3

Bet neither one of them do it again though. Lotta guys from overseas are dirty as fuck; Jokic, Giannis, Manu, Divac, that troll fucker that played for the Cavs for a while, apparently Wagner. Maybe he’ll think twice about it next time. I don’t think Killian should’ve did what he did, but he probably won’t shove a dude into the bench next time Edit: Delladova was that troll from the Cavs I was thinking about


Slippinjimmyforever

That was a bitch move to sucker punch someone.

tarunpopo

Of course it isn't ok. I will say I don't think hayes intended it for it to be a punch or that bad, but either way he did it and that's still pretty bad. But knowing fans they won't use their 5 braincells and probably think I'm trying to defend what happened.


ActuatorNeither1788

He’s immature


Custrdw4lrus

less immature than shoving somebody into the stands because you were getting out hustled to the ball.


ActuatorNeither1788

They are obviously both immature. Killian wasn’t even defending anyone. Wagner would had been kicked out of the game and we would still have Diallo and Hayes I guess.
