I got a question far Cana can I got a question fi.
Grayson's som last night? But did it broad day? He killed a man in broad daylight Grayson Allen? And I have questions, how do you stop Grayson Allen, a noted menace from being Grayson Allen? Like he has been a menace. We all know he's a menace. He's been a menace his entire career. Even at Duke even chuckles about it being a villain. Like there are Grayson Allen compilations that
you can find on YouTube of just dirty place. That's it, Like, that's the entire compilation is just him tripping and kicking in you nuts and like literally karate shop people. We knew that, we've accepted that that's a part of Grayson Allen's quote unquote charm uh And now until now he has taken out one of the most beloved players in the league. My man has gone a step too far. He took out the goat aka the janitor a ka Caruso.
And I am now thinking that it's like no one's gonna believe him never, no, no one's ever going to forgive him. Here is what's going What happened the Bucks and the Bulls were playing a tight game when Alice Crusoe went up for a layup. It was like a explosive layup, we'll say, not just like an everyday layup.
It was an elevated layup, and Grayson Allen grabbed him out of the air, spun him down and ddted him onto the ground like let and then and then Grace Allen had to figure out a way to contort his body to not kill himself because he was uhuh four feet up in the air and just got karate chopped to not hit his head onto the hardwood, so he lands on his wrist to try to break his fall. World class cheap shot. Everyone knew it. It was completely unnecessary.
Grayson Allen, after they looked at the tape, ended up with a flagrant two, got tossed. Crusoe was down for a couple of minutes, ended up going back into the game. Said some things after like, hope, hope nothing's wrong, Like it was a cheap play. Hope nothing seriously wrong. Don't think that there is anything seriously wrong. But no. Turns
out Alex Crusoe has now fractured his wrists from that play. Yep, he was out there deflecting passes, guarding, blocking Gianni's shots, playing lockdown d even with a fractured wrist as an aside. Turns out he needs surgery. He's out six to eight weeks after just coming back from another injury. He's been gone.
Alex Crusso has been out of the lineup for a long time now, and this is now another serious blow to a team that is desperate for any bit of death, and they're not the same without him on the court. With Lavigne, Lonzo Crusoe all missing significant time, it is a rough ass month in Chicago Land, and it's gonna
continue to be a rough ass time. So back to Grayson Allen, though everyone who saw the play in real time knew it was Grayson being Grayson just one of the world class cheap artists in basketball, like he is a cheap shot encapsulated into a human being. Like that's he's a guy who's a cheap shot even by Duke's standards, right, which is just that says a lot considering all of the other cheap shot players that they've had played for them.
And of course nobody after the game was more pissed than Billy Donovan, Grayson Allen could have ruined and ended Alex Crusoe's career. It was really really bad, really bad, he says. For Alex to be in the air and for him to take him down like that, he could have ended Alex Caruso's career. He has a history of this. It was really dangerous. Yeah, tell him, tell him what you think, Billy, tell him. And Patrick Williams also got
hurt on a hard foul. But as Donovan noted in his post game, that was an actual basketball play by Mitchell Robinson. This this was bullshit. This was unnecessary. This was, as Alex Cruso would say, dude, just grab me out of the air. Kind of bullshit, which, to be honest, is pretty much a perfect summation of Grayson Allen as a player and as a person. Kind of bullshit like, kind of a bullshit player. And it's not that Grayson
Allen is out here actively trying to hurt people. I'm not gonna say that, and I don't think that's what's happening. It's just that he doesn't give a shit if he does, like and that's the problem is that there are certain players who not only have no regard. They're thoughtless, they're reckless, but they're remorseless. Somebody ends up going down for a
significant period of time. Grayson Allen gives zero fucks. And that is what is an important distinction to make in a league where the vast majority of people will go out of their way to take a fellow player, a brother in this four hundred and fifty person fraternity, if you will out of danger, if you are Grayson Allen and you have a hard foul you then it behooves you. Then make sure you catch his fall. It is up to you to make sure you don't hurt him, because
you are the one who incited all of that. And that's why despite the fact that these guys regularly jump into the rafters, you regularly see undercuts, cheap shot elbows. They are so uncommon that when they do happen, the Internet is set ablaze. But cheap shots like Grayson Allen did, I mean, they only happen like one or two times.
A year year.
So there's lots of talk whether the bulls are going to seek retribution on March fourth, when the two teams meet again. I'm guessing that they do. Billy Donovan addressed the idea that the Bulls would try to get back at Grayson Allen, and he says this quote, I'm not a real big believer in that stuff. Pause, And that's a lie. And that is a lie. Billy Donovan is gonna go full Sean Payton and fully fully secret retribution.
I'm just gonna put this out there. I played basketball my whole life, and I know that there's a code of ethics and hoops and a cheap shot like this that actually endangers one of the most beloved players in the entire NBA, which that means something too. One hundred percent payback is coming. May not come from the Bulls,
but it's coming. At some point, someplace in broad day at night time, Grayson Allen is going to catch an elbow or a knee or gonna get pulled out of the air and body slam Denity by some undertaker move. And this is not fucking college, This is not Duke anymore. These are grown men. You know who loves himself some Alex Crusoe loves Alex Crusoe. One of the biggest, strongest, fastest goats of all time, Lebron James. Like if Lebron James sees Grayson Allen coming. This one's for a Crusoe.
Be Stu.
This is a man's league, and Grayson Allen looks still like that little kid at Duke. He was not could not even be bothered to check on Carusoe after the game either. That's how you know he doesn't give a fuck. People notice that they asked Caruso, Hey, did Grayson see if you were okay after the game? Alex Crusoe quite
plainly said it. Nope, he did not. There are a lot of guys who will take notice of that, And I bet you that there are players that are so beloved that if this happens, that the NBA will look away and pretend it never happened. God forbid something terrible
happens to Grayson Allen in the heat of battle. Right, So sending out thoughts and prayers to Grayson, thoughts and prayers to my man Grayson Allen, who will reap what he sows, but more importantly to the Chicago Bulls, and to the goat Alex Crusoe, who is so damn fun to watch. But I promise you, boy, Grayson, what goes around comes around, and eventually every little cheap shot farmer will reap what they sold. That is all the time that we have for the Heat Check. We will be
back Wednesday morning, early Squirrely with a new episode. Do not forget the download, subscribe, tell all your friends, every damn one of them, and follow us on social this heat Check and at Tristan Crick on TikTok.
