Draymond Green SUSPENDED for Game 5

[IamRalpho]

Enjoy it Cavs fans, just gonna prolong it to a game 6 exit

[JustinVerlander07]

Absurd, completely and utterly absurd.

[tacoma34]

Poor decision maker

[rhigh2390]

NBA trying to do everything they can to make sure lebron doesn't go 2-5.

[zacsoccer6]

pretty disappointed Lebron didn't get a Flagrant as well. Thought it should have been a double T or a double Flagrant after review.

[duron]

loooool

I actually kinda like it JUST because it could mean another close game. Blowouts plz go.

[IamRalpho]

Green shoulda been suspended for the Adams kick, not sure I agree on this.

Lebron not getting a foul on the play is a joke.

Warriors are still winning this series, just an embarrassment.

[Cervantes]

I feel it was warranted because of his previous incidents in these playoffs.

I know there will be people who say it was a reaction to Lebron 'disrespecting' him with the step over, but those are the same people who are applauding Green for not reacting to Lebron when he confronted him.

If you don't want to be reprimanded, don't hit people in the sack. Repeatedly. On national television.

NBA trying to do everything they can to make sure lebron doesn't go 2-5.

This series is over whether Draymond plays in game 5 or not. The dude acts like a punk and luckily got away with no suspensions in the okc series. It was just a matter of time.

[JustinVerlander07]

Meanwhile, no technical or flagrant given to LeBron for throwing him to the ground and stepping over him. The Warriors can still easily win Game 5, but it's not gonna be the same without having their 2nd best player on the court.

[zacsoccer6]

If they wanted to do everything they could they would have done a flagrant 2 so he would be out next 2 games. This does leave it open for another Flagrant in Cleveland to keep him from a game 7 if they win Game 5.

[duron]

Lebron not getting a foul on the play is a joke.

Yea, that part of it is the real insanity. The theorists are gona have a FIELD day with this, and rightfully so in this instance.

Maybe they haven't announced it yet for Lebron, Lebron also didn't throw Draymond to the ground he flopped. Lebron should have got a technical for taunting though no doubt.

Look just came across my phone and Lebron got a technical.

When Draymond needs to watch his team celebrate from a TV screen maybe he'll learn to grow up and stop acting like a punk. Not just referring to the Lebron incident I'm also referring to okc series amongst others

[WillC]

Enter James McAdoo.

[IamRalpho]

Lebrons technical means nothing unfortunately.

[Cervantes]

NBA trying to do everything they can to make sure lebron doesn't go 2-5.

I think this is absurd. They didn't make up the fact that he hit someone below the belt. Again.

pretty disappointed Lebron didn't get a Flagrant as well. Thought it should have been a double T or a double Flagrant after review.

Why should he have gotten a flagrant? A foul, absolutely. A double T would have been appropriate.

Actually, it looks like Lebron did get a T. I think it's fair, and if Green hadn't already made poor decisions in these playoffs, it wouldn't have been a suspension. He earned a FLAGRANT, which triggered the suspension, if I'm not mistaken. So, if he hadn't already acted like an idiot on previous occasions, there wouldn't be a suspension.

(NOT DIRECTED @ zacsoccer6) > I'm sure the NBA predicted they could suspend Green in the Finals, just in case Lebron needed help. :rolleyes:

At least you said punk and not thug, even though you're wrong.

[Rabie1]

Warriors will win game 5 even if the whole starting lineup is suspended.

I still think the Warriors tomorrow, AI has been the Warriors best player this series. Curry and Thompson at home....still can win

[tjforce]

A flagrant was deserved. The fact that it lead to a suspension is more a function of his prior actions. In regards to this situation:

Lebron stepped over him, which was dumb, but not flagrant.

Draymond punched him in the balls.

Blaming Lebron for getting punched in the balls while doing something dumb but not illegal is the same line of logic blaming a passed out girl for getting sexually assaulted. No place for this kind of behavior and it's not excusable.

[bombersboy48]

I find it funny that people still think he shouldn't have gotten anything. This is the THIRD time he had hit someone in the balls, and he also kicked Kyrie in the face in game 1 or game 2

Exactly. There is no way, imo, that Cleveland wins this series, with or without Green in the next game

Again, people on here bang their drums about 'being accountable' and 'being an adult', until it affects their favorite sports team/player.

[JustinVerlander07]

LeBron James threw Green to the ground, punched Steph Curry and elbowed Shaun Livingston. No flagrant foul on ANY of those plays.

The absurdity here is unreal.

I thought Lebron could have earned a Flagrant because how he acted when they called the double foul. He nearly took Draymond to the ground a second time on top of his taunting. Also a double Flagrant would have given them a scapegoat on a conspiracy theory since technically both would have got same punishment.

It'll be interesting to see the Warriors lineup and rotation in Game 5.

Maybe Mo Speights will get more minutes; he can replace Green's shooting but not his defense.

Ezeli is a solid defender but obviously very limited offensively.

Maybe the Warriors will go small and put Barnes at the 4 and Iguodala at the 3.

The silver lining of Green's suspension is that Curry stands a greater chance of winning FMVP, which would be good news for me because I have money on the Warriors and on Curry.

Not trying to compare the magnitude of the two things because its absolutely wrong to do so...

Trying to dispel the common notion among men, which 99% of us are here, that its ok to do something wrong because somebody else put themselves in a compromised position.

This line of logic goes along with assault, stealing, fraud, etc; a plethora of things where people tend to turn off their moral compass due to opportunism and the ability to justify their actions due to the shortcomings of the other party

I would bet the 3rd option with Iggy starting.

Also a double Flagrant would have given them a scapegoat on a conspiracy theory since technically both would have got same punishment.

I don't know if they could call that a flagrant? A double T is the norm there.

Here's the definition:

A. Flagrant Foul Rules
There are two types of Flagrant Fouls, as follows:
Flagrant "1" (FFP1) - unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent. The opposing team is awarded two (2) free throws and possession.
Flagrant "2" (FFP2) - unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent. The opposing team is awarded two (2) free throws and possession and the player committing the foul is automatically ejected.

I don't see what James did as worthy of a flagrant. Technical, sure.

[WillC]

I don't think so. Not when Curry dropped 38 in Game 4. Even though Curry has been below par, he's still been more important to their success than anyone except maybe Green.

[ljandkg]

The power of Lebron, slightly more than the power of Adams. A complete and utter joke.

If Warriors win in 6, I can probably attend the parade at least. Even though, I called it in 5. :D

[WillC]

Yeah, especially if the Cavs start with Jefferson again instead of Love.

I honestly expect McAdoo to get some more playing time too. He looked useful in Game 4 and Kerr obviously trusts him.

[Cervantes]

He threw Green's arm away from him. He didn't shoot him.

That is just how Draymond reacted. He's been watching Lebron too much. That flop was wonderful.

I don't think it was, was more saying I thought they would have for the sole purpose to say hey we gave both parties same foul since James instigated it.

Or more Varejo the flopping king. Lebron trained Varejo to flop so well.

[TBarn291]

Good. He's had it coming for awhile.

OH, btw, I honestly didn't see Lebron punch Curry, nor did I see him elbow Livingston.

If he's guilty, he should also have been punished.

Any clips?

Thanks.

[thepinoymamba]

I was surprised that Lebron suddenly became so brave and wants to fight a player that he knows won't fight back because if the circumstances. He Baited , Lebron became Dirty just to win.. He got the call... If Lebron Don't win an NBA Championship because of this... Lebron should not be considered Goat... no Way..

If you saw Draymond's elbow to JR smith in game 2 it was exact same thing with nothing called. Lebron was driving to the hole when he gathered to go up his elbow hit Livingston in the mouth. Should have gotten called on the Curry one though.

[Cervantes]

I'm not disagreeing; I didn't see the game, so I didn't see the foul/s. I've searched on youtube, but can't find anything.

[JOAKIMCOLLECTOR]

the betting line for golden state went from -6.5 before the suspension to -6 after haha. vegas still says the warriors take game 5

Yeah, I see that. Gathering up his elbow and hitting someone isn't a basketball play.

Kind of like karate kicks.

If you genuinely think Iguodala will be FMVP, you can get him at 18-1. That means if you put $10 on him, you'll get back $180.

So you should put big bucks on him.

At least you said punk and not thug, even though you're wrong.

Nothing to do with a thug, not sure why even compare the 2 ? He may be a great guy off the court but his antics on the court get real annoying. After the okc series he started to get really annoying, then again in game 3 ? What's his obsession with dude's crotches ?!

Agreed. I'd love to hear the excuse makers come out trying to defend the Cavs if that happens.

[WillC]

I'd be worried if a player averaging 10ppg, 5rpg and 4apg gets FMVP over a player averaging 21.5ppg, 5rpg, 4.8apg and 4.3 three per game on .447 3P%.

But hey, it'll make LeBron look worse once the LeBrons lose tomorrow to a team without a key player.

[TNP777]

Anyone that follows the Warriors knew this day was coming, and I'm saying that we knew this was coming long before the playoffs started. I have been telling my friends for months that his emotions outbursts and temper was going to cost his team. What a terrible time for this to come true.

Love the headlines on ESPN. ABC/ESPN is desperate to convince everyone that Cleveland has a chance. Maybe they do, but it's still slim. Even if Cleveland pulls out a win in Game 5, they still have to win at home and come back to Oakland for all the marbles. I don't see that happening.

[jhill80]

I am a lebron and Cleveland fan but think they are going to lose the next game, even without green playing. The Warriors are such a good team that barnes and iguodola will pick up the slack and close out the series on Monday. I hope that I am wrong but I doubt it.

Like Draymomd, LeBron also has a track record. Not excusing Green at all, but LeBron also deserves criticism for his own reputation. I'm sure you can figure out what reputation I'm talking about. He gets his way a lot. He's given preference. He pontificates about his greatness. He whines. He makes excuses.

His fans did it enough for him.

His fans also didn't kill him for not showing up, while killing Lebron for now winning, even though he did show up.

Lebron's reputation is built on people dislike for him, his flopping, and his whining. Draymond's is for being a punk and a dirty player. They deserve each other.

[JJ7_Tebow15]

I'm fine if the call was made in game. Draymond suspended for game 5 sure, but to come out three days later a day before Game 5 is just embarrassing by the league.

Draymond didn't even get a vote for dirtiest players last year, voted on by the players themselves. Bogut was the highest ranked on the Warriors. Been dirty for a while lol.

[the27guy]

Just one guys opinion... I think they got a couple things wrong in the OKC series. I was critical of them for that.

But this is the right call. When draymond is getting up and he hits lebron between the legs, I don't see how you can say that doesn't deserve a flagrant 1. Glad that it wasn't more putative.

But alas, GS is winning anyways. If not tonight, then in game 6, and if not in game 6, in game 7. I'm all for more games, and in the end, we know who the champs will be.

Yeah, but Klay had a lot to say about Mozgov's foul.

I agree; just play. Talk is cheap; words to live by, but these players are asked and asked about this stuff. It's what draws the fans in, and the media loves it.

If every player was like Marshawn Lynch, we'd all be in an uproar. That is why people love his interviews; he's not the norm.

Anyways...let's just play.

[Mongol]

Coach lue is a moron not playing Mosgov
I understand after game 3 Timothy foul on Klay, he took him out fearing referee retaliation calls on Moscov.
Never the less, he is a damn 7 footer warming up the bench that can play pick n roll and clog the lane. Smh.

[tmar214]

The power of Lebron, slightly more than the power of Adams. A complete and utter joke.

What are you talking about. Green got a flagrant for the kick on Adam's and got another fragrant for hitting Lebron.

Lebron received a technical. Why do people seem to think because green was 1 flagrant away from getting suspended it should somehow be harder for him to pick up a flagrant foul.

[SPauthentic84]

I think Adam silver told Draymond to repeatedly kick and take shots at people's balls so he could suspend so Lebron wins

[xavieronly1]

Btw, why everyone acts like Cavs is going to win in game 5? Didn't the team lose the GS bench?

[zacsoccer6]

Btw, why everyone acts like Cavs is going to win in game 5? Didn't the team lose the GS bench?

They also pretty much lost to just curry and klay last game (offensively). I think Dray is their motor and key to the actual team. However I now think the game will be close with the cavs having a chance instead of cavs losing by double digits.

[Cervantes]

Not sure where ''everyone'' is acting like the Cavs are going to win.

I think the consensus is the Cavs are going to lose, although it may not be by 25. Maybe only 15.

[Rabie1]

Lebron talking about the high road that's he has been taking all his career. Guess that's what they call the road to Miami. cry baby is going to go home tomorrow and the media is going to blame his teammates. Great leadership.

I am a cavs fan.. and even wo DG being at home I think GSW will be just fine.

I guess my question really is if it goes to a game 6 and DG gets another Flagrant is he suspended another game or do the penalties increase?
If cavs can win and can get DG to commit another flagrant foul to keep him out of the next game or even ejected it really could impact gsw and if the cavs won the series because of it I can see the conspiracy nuts going ape #@#@#@#@!
It is a game and to win by any legal means no matter how dirty they are is all apart of that game.

[nikpounder]

I still think the Warriors tomorrow, AI has been the Warriors best player this series. Curry and Thompson at home....still can win

Looks like Vegas agrees - Dubs down to 6 point faves instead of 6.5.

As long as Draymond doesn't get finals MVP I'm happy.

[wood minis]

It gives the Cavs a shot at Game 5 when they had none. Extending the Series has to be part of the equation with this NBA decision. I'm rooting for Lebron and Cleveland, but it's going to take more the Green missing Game 5 for that to work out. GS is just too deep and too good and Lebron, from what I've been watching, has had great moments, but also costly misses.

I don't care what you've accomplished in your life, it was given to you. You haven't earned anything.

Your man just got what he wanted. He stepped ovr a player then got him suspend by crying to the league. If lebron ever wins anything it's considered trained and questionable because he never does it himself. He needs the league to help him out.

This is lebron taking his show to the league. Basically can't win with his hand picked team mates. So he now resort to taking players off the opposing roster. What next? Get everyone benched so he is the only one on the floor?

Yeah... Lebron made DG hit him nuts which got him a flagrant, which got him suspended. That is one of Lebron's special powers right? Mind control? DG is an emotional, sensitive player, who struggles to control his temper/ego. That is what got him suspended. Anyone trying to blame it on Lebron is delusional. If the NBA really required Lebron's crying to make the obvious call, then it is in a lot sadder state than I had realized.

Yeah, it's almost as funny as him crying about Mozgov lol.

Actually, this will be significantly more funny if we can win without Green.

Whatever it takes to get lebron a ring. He cried so much until the league did something. Lebron should be suspended for stepping over green and flopping throughout the playoffs. Give the man a ring before he brings down the game itself.

[xavieronly1]

They also pretty much lost to just curry and klay last game (offensively). I think Dray is their motor and key to the actual team. However I now think the game will be close with the cavs having a chance instead of cavs losing by double digits.

You are right. I was not going to watch the game anyway if Green can play. Blow out game is boring. This should level the difference.

Well Mozgov's screen was illegal.

Lebron did get his feelings hurt

Soooooo......

[Bruin7]

Time for the Splash Brothers to step it up and continue off their Game 4 success. Green deserves the suspension. In all honesty he should have been suspended during the Western Conference Finals.

[cinnakaok]

He didn't get suspended specifically for this groin shot. He was given a flagrant for it which based on points accumulation triggered the suspension. Everyone seem to be talking about it as he was suspended for the groin shot itself

[TBarn291]

Yeah.... because crying is a technical/flagrant :rolleyes:


So are you insinuating that Draymond is secretly working for the Cavs? You do realize that Draymond wasn't suspended because Lebron cried about it to the media right? I don't get it? Most Toronto fans/natives I know seem to have a much better grasp of the game of basketball? I'm not sure if you are just that uneducated when it comes to professional basketball, or if your hate for Lebron is so deep that it literally makes you crazy.

You're salty because it's the Warriors, who you're rooting for because you don't like Lebron. I get that.

If you could find one post where I supported Lebron, where I ever rooted for him, where I said I was a fan of his, you'd look great.

Instead, you look like a salty fan who's bitching because something went in Lebron's favor.

I'm a BULLS fan; I hate the Cavs. I don't like Lebron. I respect his talent and physical game, but not his antics. I don't want him to win; I want the Cavs to LOSE, because of the rivalry.

The Warriors run has been outstanding, and very fun to watch, minus Green. He's a tremendous talent, but his antics (like Lebron) are what turn me off.

Great assumpion though, OJ; par for the course for you.

Lol, well hell, as much as GS uses illegal screens, you'd think they would be better prepared for it to be used against them lol. I think Klay was the one who had his feelings hurt, considering he was the one crying about it. If Lebron was crying about Green, then Klay was crying about Mozgov.

If the cavs win game 5 and DG gets a flagrant foul in game 6 he is ejected correct?
Does it stop there or does it continue to get worse in terms of penalties for each flagrant committed after the first suspension? A DGless warrior team is certainly not as effective as a full warriors team but if they can axe him completely from games 6 and 7 then it could get interesting and I can see the Cavs shooting for getting DG to FF someone.

I'm a Bulls fan too and I can say, as a rule, that as a fanbase we HATE LeBron. Can't stand the guy. Hopes he loses every single Final for the rest of his life.

That being said, if an NBA player hit another one in the balls, he deserves (at least) a flagrant 1. I don't know how this can be disputed. If you're disputing that, I really don't know what to tell you.

The league got it right. Flagrant for Draymond and technical for LeBron. That's the right call.

That's just the way I feel.

I don't really care who did it; they should have been assessed a flagrant.

I think some of the Warriors fans can accept that, but some are such blatant homers, or they hate Lebron so much, that they see conspiracies everywhere.

For some reason, some people cannot accept the facts. They find every excuse in the book, and cannot admit accountability. You do wrong, there are consequences.

Blame Lebron, but he got the right call against him. It was worthy of a technical, and that's what he got. It would be unprecedented to give him a flagrant on that, as another user wanted, and Green deserved his flagrant.

It's not hard to comprehend, if you have common sense.

It's beyond ridiculous. If Jo or Taj would have done something like that, I'll be bitching at them on BaB for being dumb enough to do it. Draymond does it twice within a month and it's a conspiracy?

This reminds me of Nazr push on LeBron. I love that play but he defitively deserved to be ejected.

I believe that his flagrant count gets reset now. He'd need 4 flagrant 1's to get suspended again. At least I think that's how it works?

[XARZY]

Good riddance. So does that mean that if he gets one more tech (on game 6) he gets suspended for game 7?

[duron]

Anybody wana laugh? Keep in mind the comment referred to here by Klay was pretty innocuous to begin with.

Because Klay Thompson is the one who refers to himself as the King and that people constantly debate if he is the "GOAT"

Big difference for Klay Thompson to whine then Lebron James

[Highroller]

Absurd, completely and utterly absurd.

Your are the biggest homer this site has ever seen.

If the series were the other way around and 3-1 Cavs favor Green wouldn't get suspended. Just goes to further prove how tainted the league is.

Thank you for doing the enlightening for me. Its pretty obvious the league draws out particular match-ups as best they can. Unless you are a bias homer anyone can see it.

If the cavs win game 5 and DG gets a flagrant foul in game 6 he is ejected correct?

Dont think he gets ejected but he would be suspended 1 or 2 games depending on if it is a flagrant 1 or 2.

From the league;

Under league rules, any player who accumulates four flagrant foul points over the course of the playoffs will be automatically suspended for one game, and every additional flagrant foul will result in either a one-game suspension (for a Flagrant Foul 1) or a two-game suspension (for a Flagrant Foul 2).

[Orangejello727]

Period. You're a homer, plain and simple. I have no ties to either team, any player, period. Hell, in this series, about the only players I like are Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala.

Are you really that mad that your team lost to Lebron that you're still whining about him? Get over it, my friend; you look PATHETIC.

Another nail in the coffin of the NBA in my eyes. Between the Donaghy stuff, the BS championships handed the Pistons and Wade in the last 15 years and now this, the league clearly has an agenda to push. Glad, I don't watch many games or spend money to go to games anymore.

So this warrants a suspension in the finals? I think Draymond is bush league and I'm not a fan of his whole act but a suspension? they would have had to cancel whole games in the 80s and early 90s because there wouldn't be enough players on the rosters if this got you suspended.

He didn't get suspended for just the act against Lebron. He got a flagrant 1. But after enough flagrants received, it's an automatic suspension.

Even though I'm of the belief that the act against Lebron isn't worthy of a flagrant, Draymond brought all this on himself.

What is about to be said is coming from a certified LeBron hater and somebody who has been rooting for the Warriors pretty hard in this series.

I can't believe this is even a debate. You can't make contact below the belt 3 times in a month and not expect to get suspended. It was an outrage he wasn't suspended the first time he did it, the excuse the NBA used made it even worse. And all this talk about LeBron pushing him or walking over him, give me a break. Draymond is the one instigating that stuff on a nightly basis, it is his job and he's doing it well. Let's not pretend that if we called all the extra contact after the whistle stuff that Green would have made it halfway through the Thunder series. He simply has to deal with the consequences of his actions, if you swing at somebody and you happen to hit them in the nuts, that is your responsibility. Don't swing at somebody if you don't want to get suspended for hitting somebody in the nuts.

The fact that Warriors fans can even argue this is more proof that humans aren't capable of thinking clearly when their desires, personal feelings and pre-conceived biases come into play. It is really scary if you think about it. Dude is kicking people in the balls left and right, and people actually think there's a defense for it...incredible...

Draymond Green got what he deserved----this is a culmination of bad behavior over several weeks. Any sensible Warriors fan could see this was coming. This has nothing to do with Lebron or anyone else. Draymond did this to himself.

---The NBA dropped the ball the way it was handled and all the crazy conspiracy theorists are having a field day (is this anyone on these boards?) But ultimately, they got it right.

I still see the Warriors winning tonight. They flat out have the better team, even without Draymond.

If Curry goes off tonight again, he will win the MVP as he's had 2 good games. (yes, I'm counting game two when he had 18 points in a half of basketball and left early because of foul trouble)

After all that has happened. It's really becoming clear just how much of a wuss lebron really is. It has really become obvious that when it comes to Greats in the history of the game, he is probably the softest primadona anyone has ever seen. He reminds me of an only child that picks on everyone but when someone stands up to him, he goes and tells the teacher lol

[Starman101]

The sad part about all of this is only because GREEN did that to LEBRON did it lead to GREEN's suspension

When GREEN clearly should have suspended in the OKC series for kneeing ADAMS in the groin

I said from the beginning that if ADAMS was a bonafide superstar like KOBE or LEBRON, he would have 100% been suspended after that

Only because ADAMS is ADAMS was GREEN NOT suspended :doh:

The saddest part is that if BUSH LEAGUE GREEN had been suspended like he should have in the WC Finals, I think we would have been watching a Thunder / Cavs series right now

Clearly the NBA just cares about its Star players and trying to generate additional revenue to extend this lifeless series in which Lebron appears more as if its a regular season game than a playoff game, nevermind a championship game

Though Im not an OKC fan I honestly feel they should have been in these Finals instead of GS

And Lebron's performance up to this point has been a complete joke, flopping and crying to draw calls on practically every play instead of being a leader and playing hard to set an example for his teammates

Good Job NBA! :)!

[seabass97166]

It's pretty obvious Green shouldn't have been suspended. James knocked him down, James stepped over when he was trying to get up. Of course Dray is going to step to him after that.

Now the pressure is on LeBron, he needs to step up and take it to GS; or all the LeBron is soft stuff is pretty accurate.

[xavieronly1]

By the way, does anyone know why the league needs more than 24 hours to review a single play? A ref in a live game takes like 5 mins to make a flagrant foul call through the review monitor. It seems very unfair to GS if they need a game plan for Game 5.

I don't think they needed the 24 hours. They probably knew what happened within the first hour or two; they were trying to see what he best punishment for it was.

They were checking with Lebron. He was tied up playing a basketball game. They couldnt move forward until he was done and they could get his final decision on it post game.

They also had to wait. INcase Cavs won. If that was the case, then they wouldnt have suspended him yet. If the Cavs got in trouble after losing the next game, they would do a post 4 day and suspend him to even the playing field then.

He didn't get suspended for that play alone.

Something a lot of people who don't think Green should've been suspended seem to be missing is that Green was simply issued a Flagrant 1 foul for the play. Which, to me, is completely reasonable.

Green was suspended for multiple flagrant fouls which equaled a one game suspension. Again, completely reasonable and in my opinion long overdue.

[xavieronly1]

What punishment?

Green had 3 flagrant fouls before Game 4. This is a known fact. The 4th flagrant foul is a suspension by the rule book. The leage can't decide how to punish Green on the spot.

Also, it was not like Green has 2 flagrant fouls before Game 4, and the league needed to choose between fragrant 1 or fragrant 2.

Let me rephrase that: the consequences of the call they were going to make, which were in the form of Draymond missing Game 5.

In the regular season, it's probably determined in a few seconds that the foul was a flagrant and everyone moves on. On the Finals, when the potential Finals MVP can lose a game to close the series at home, there is a bigger concern about the perception of the league (just look at all the conspiracy theorists). I'm guessing they were overthinking it based on those things.

There was a ref just sitting infront of both of them. He didnt do anything. They waited till the game ended a day later to issue it. How does Green get the F1 while Lebron being the culprit for stepping on Green>?

[irfuji]

Honestly, if Green had stood up really quick and flipped Lebron I would have been 100% ok with that. It was a douche move by Lebron and guess what, he got a technical for it.

To answer your question. In my opinion, the ref didnt need to do anything. It was garbage time and he could've easily given both of them technicals, especially with the ruckus that happened below the rim 10 seconds later.

Lebron got a technical foul. He didn't get off with no punishment.

A very common tactic, and one Draymond uses himself, is to get in the head of the other player to make them do something stupid. I personally think Lebron did that knowing Draymond would react and do something stupid which would/could and did lead to him getting the required points necessary to be suspended 1 game.

You can argue, Draymond was only reacting to Lebron. And you would be right. Fact is, Draymond couldn't afford to react. And honestly, this is his third instance of hitting or trying to hit someone in the nuts. I don't care what you say. You don't do that. You want to retaliate, set a moving screen a little to hard, give him a hard foul while he's driving to the basket. Those are all things that could and can be done instead of trying to hit a guy in the nuts.

Well... if the league makes the news within a hour after Game 4, there are less conspiracy theories than what we have today. League can firmly say that Green's move is uncalled for. ESPN milked the story for a whole Sat.

Again, Green's 3 flagrant fouls were a known fact before Game 4 started. Any potential flagrant foul from Green is suspension. There is no need to talk for 24+ hours on the impact.

Also, this is not the first time that they wait this long. A lot of fouls were upgraded/downgraded after 12 hours of the game.

To me, it just seems very unfair for fans to call out refs' in-game performance when the league can review a single play for 12+ hours.

[JustinVerlander07]

Draymond's value is 2.5 points in Vegas, seems pretty significant for a 'role player'

[elee712]

Lebron knew exactly what he was doing despite what he said in his interviews. Kudos for him for pushing the right buttons and getting Draymond suspended.

Guys are athletes with huge egos. Lebron blatantly tried to humiliate Draymond despite what he said in his interviews and whether it was intentional or not what Green did, when he was trying to get up, Lebron's crotch was in his face.

Draymond is paying for it obviously but if you were in the situation, it will not be easy for you to just walk away.

I am sure that it has already been mentioned, but would the NBA have suspended Draymond for a game if the series was tied 2-2???? We all know the answer, right? The NBA just wants it to go 7 games.......

It's amazing how many people can't understand that Draymond wasn't suspended for the ball punch, but for picking up 4 flagrant in the playoffs.

You're right, he got suspended for picking up the 4th flagrant...and he got the 4th flagrant from the ball punch.

Although I do question if he did make any contact. Lebron didn't feel a thing and didn't even notice it until he saw the replay.

[irfuji]

I already said what he was supposed to do....

Hard foul on a drive to the basket. Hard screen.

NOT TRY AND HIT SOMEONE IN THE NUTS FOR THE THIRD FREAKING TIME.

I don't get why that's so hard to understand.

There's so many ways you can "get someone back" without hitting or trying to hit them in the nuts. Extra mustard on the box out. Gut check on a post up move. Knee to thigh charlie horse. All those things would've gone down as a normal foul.

AGAIN. There are players who work to get in your head and make you do stupid things. Lebron does it. Draymond does it. Jordan, Rodman, Laimbeer, etc. It's a tactic. Many players use it, some more effectively than others.

But fact is, Draymond uses it; and quite well in my opinion, so to say well he was just reacting and shouldn't get anything is basically the pot calling the kettle black.

[Orangejello727]

So you are on record claiming an nba player should be allowed to tag somebody in the balls, as long as it is in retaliation?

Im on record saying that stepping over another player on purpose should be followed up with a fine and a suspension. Im fine with Green getting his 4th. Im not fine with Lebroney getting away with what he did.

He didn't get away with it.

He got assessed a technical foul 1. A perfectly inline punishment for what he did.

The difference is, and you can argue whether this should be the case or not, that Lebron didn't have the same number of points accrued so he wasn't suspended.

End of the day it still falls on Draymond to have a cooler head. It's literally no different than a player who has 5 fouls or 1 tech and can get thrown out of the game with one more foul or tech.

I dont think. Stepping over a player should be served with something much harsher than a typical T. It should be even worse than a player out right punching out another player. Same with flopping. Players need to be served with harsher penalities so they learn to stop doing it.

Lebron gets away with so much. If it had been another player who stepped over Lebron, I assure you they would have been suspended instantly for the next game and been thrown out of that game.

Lol he didn't get away with it. He got a technical. Anyone defending Green with the "well Lebron started it" apparently has no knowledge of the rules of basketball. Green got a Flagrant, if you look at the criteria for a Flagrant its obvious Green deserved it. Lebron got a technical, which was deserved, given what he did. So some of these people who are struggling to understand the situation, it really isn't that complicated. Should stepping over someone be worthy of suspension? Maybe... but it isn't. Lebron got what he deserved according to NBA rules, and Green got what he has deserved for awhile, also according to NBA rules. There really isn't even anything to debate unless you are trying to debate that NBA rules aren't sufficient and the definitions of a Flagrant and a Technical need to be updated.

I'm sure he's done a lot worse than that...... but that really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with NBA taking the correct course of action in this situation. Refs don't make the right call a lot. It doesn't just benefit Lebron... but again Lebron not getting three flagrants you feel that he deserves has NOTHING to do with whether or not Greens foul was a flagrant, it has no bearing on the accumulated foul issue that Green had prior to that game. I am really failing to see your point? Are you suggesting that Rules shouldn't apply as long as the player getting fouled has gotten away with stuff previously? Should this be an official rule?

Green is a dirty player, and had it coming. Maybe he shouldn't keep developing his reputation as a dirty player/nut puncher. It was a flagrant on Green? Did you not see the call? It was a Flagrant 1. You can debate what you think it was, but the NBA sees it as a Flagrant 1, and that is what matters. If you don't think hitting players in the nuts is dirty and an action worthy of a flagrant, then I'm afraid I can no longer take your opinion seriously. If it was anyone else besides Lebron, I don't think there would even be much of a discussion.

[Orangejello727]

Its not just making rules around Lebron now. Its making rules FOR lebron now. Just totally disgusting to watch Lebron get away with so much then cry about things to get his way. NONE of that happens if Lebron doesnt get dirty and step over a player. But hey Its Lebron. Lebron can do what he wants!

The fact that Lebron has only fouled out 4 times in a 13 yr career should say it all.

[indyguy]

Flagrant "1" (FFP1) - unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent. The opposing team is awarded two (2) free throws and possession.

So where was the basketball move in what LeBron did?

I don't have a dog in the fight. Green got suspended after this flagrant was assessed. Fine.

But, to have LeBron only get a technical, when the definition of a flagrant is what LeBron did, his should have been a flagrant as well.

I agree on the softness. But Green did what u should never do to a man. You wouldnt call UFC fighters soft and they never ever mess with others nuts. Its a rule in manhood. Now if Green stood up and fought him like a man with a punch to literally any place but the nuts, then he can claim he isnt soft. Hitting in the groin is the literally the definition of a soft kitty cat.

I guess LeBron did have a good fourth quarter after all as stepping over Green while he was down was the best play he made all series. I believe Green was only guilty of a technical, that was not a flagrant as it was a natural reaction to defend himself. Priors are not relevant to evaluate as it is a point system. Just a technical in my view. Green should be playing tonight.
