Exum upset after being fouled by Oni in practice

A little fire from the dude isn’t a bad thing Big deal. Move on

Btw hour four of the practice session ? No wonder they were touchy

I agree that kind of situations are not a big deal in general. But I think it's a bit different for Dante. He is clearly frustrated and traumatised from all that injuries. He must be scared of getting hurt again. Long way before he regains the confidence in his body.
 
Seems obvious Exum was pissed he's going into his fifth year and he's running drills during hour 4 in practice with 2nd round picks and FA's going balls out trying to make the team. Didn't take much to set him off.

Probably more frustration rather than sense of entitlement - but I'm sure he didn't envision himself in the position he's in at this point in his career.
 
Bit of fire form Dante. I Don't mind. If you've never reacted like this on the court and stood up, then you didn't really ever stand up for yourself
 
I can see why Dante might be angry after all the injuries. At the same time he does need to toughen up, so its a slippery slope.
 
If Oni was instructed to sweep the leg, I can see why Exum was ticked.

On the other hand, either you’re cleared for contact, or you’re not. Exum should be thanking Oni.

Maybe he thought Oni took a cheap shot? Typical of some Ivy League ******. He's probably a grade A prick.

I look at it pretty much like this. After so many injuries, he may be waaaay more concerned about hard clashes (that are usual at any contact sports) than anyone else on the team. He's problably very much in need of some injury free sequence for his own mind.
