2016 WCF: Warriors vs. Spu- sorry, Thunder

[NovU]

Green is certainly working his way to be the one of most hated players in the league. I do want to see him suspended for that play.

Thunder are no joking around it seems warriors are lost. Perhaps an upset? No more Bulls comparison I guess if that ever happens.

[Phil89]

Draymond Green is the one reason I could never bring myself to like the Warriors and what they have achieved. He is such a thug.

This series feels a lot like the OKC-Spurs series. The first team to win two games in a row will probably be the ones heading to the finals.

[Sauru]

its my opinion the thunder needs to win game 4 and go up 3-1 to have a chance to win the series. going back tied 2-2 and its GG for OKC imo

[[Q]]

Oh man if it was a Cleveland/OKC Finals I would not watch. It would be like the Spurs/Detroit Finals all over again.

That's my feeling, too. 2-1 with Game 4 at home is a good position to be in, yet it seems precarious for the Thunder.

[Kevin]

Disgusting stuff from Green. I don't know how he got away with only a Flagrant 1. Give him an F2, ejection, then a suspension. ffs.

Whoever wins Game 4 will win the series. If it's the Warriors, I'll jump on the Cavs bandwagon.

[Andrew]

Couldn't disagree more with Shaq and Charles: http://watch.nba.com/video/channels/tnt ... agrant.nba

With Green's history, I can't give him the benefit of the doubt. He kneed Adams in the groin in Game 2. I'm not buying that it wasn't intentional in Game 3. Disappointing to see them try to spin it that way.

[skoadam]

4:2 thunder imo

lbj with 3rd ring,ehhh
imo green foul wasnt intentional, it was clear shooting/or flop or both motion continuation, other thing is that green very often end his shots with high knee or whole leg.

[Kevin]

skoadam, a flop? really?

Flopping is very different from double kicking somebody. The way he flailed on his left leg then outstretch his right leg was far from a "flail". That had an intention. Try flopping with both of your feet and see the way you bend your body compared to how you bend your body when you double kick someone.

[Stress Fracture]

Adams wasn't even fouling Green on that play. How is that a flop?

Double , maybe triple? and later he remove his head from neck right?

ofc but Green felt hand contact and reacted with flop.

[I Hate Mondays]

"Kick him out, kick him out ! "

[Sauru]

i dont give a fuck if he meant to kick him in the balls or if it was because he was flopping like a fucking idiot, he needs to be sitting game 4. shit like this cannot go unpunished

Report: NBA decides to not suspend Warriors PF Draymond Green

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the NBA has decided not to take further action against Green after he received a Flagrant 1 foul following a video review by the referees working the game.

USA Today's Sam Amick has confirmed Wojnarowski's report and added that Draymond's foul from Sunday night has been changed from a Flagrant 1 to a Flagrant 2 and Green will receive a fine.

[PeacemanNOT]

Even though I don't like the Warriors and would like to see OKC make it to the finals, I'd rather see Draymond in the game than out. It makes it more interesting, smart move by the NBA tbh

[Andrew]

I'd rather see consistency in rulings, and a league where it isn't considered acceptable to hit opponents in the groin. I find it to be a disappointing decision by the NBA, not a smart one.

[NovU]

I guess league is telling the Thunder to suck it up and just play as they won. If they lost, I think Green most likely suspended. Close series so we have.

[Andrew]

Maybe. Who knows what their logic is. I reckon if it was Ian Clark who did the kicking, or Curry who took a shot in the groin, there'd be a suspension. Seems ridiculous to upgrade it to a Flagrant 2 - ie a more serious infraction and an automatic ejection - yet not deem it worthy of a suspension. Especially in the wake of another player being suspended for hitting below the belt.

Well, it is what it is. It'll be interesting to see if things get a little chippy in Game 4, and whether Green makes it three straight games with a nut shot.

the is exactly the problem. this right here is 100% what wrong with the NBA. who a player is and what they mean to their team should never be considered in situations like this. is 2 players break a rule they should be treated the same. if this was the regular season green would of been suspended for sure. if the warriors were up 3-0 green gets suspended.

[Phil89]

Not surprised by this at all. Just another example of the NBA favouring their golden team.

The most annoying thing about this decision is that it means Green will keep doing this shit because he knows he can get away with it

[Stress Fracture]

I just hope OKC will play with the same intensity as they did in Game 3. I want to see the Warriors get humiliated again. Fuck them

[atlwarrior]

I have no answer to why the Dubs are struggling so badly. They're their own worst enemy. But have a feeling they'll bounce back and take game 4. OKC played a great game and they deserve credit but Golden St. always answers when their backs are against the wall.

[PeacemanNOT]

Smart from their point of view. It's about making money, and they're losing out on money with a Warriors team without Green. It also makes it more interesting for me to watch when he is there so....

[[Q]]

Don't forget this is the same league that doesn't suspend players for intentionally grabbing the opponent's balls so you won't be suspended for kicking them either
