Draymond Green Suspended For Game 5

Draymond Green has been suspended for Game 5.
The NBA gave retroactively gave Green a Flagrant Foul 1 for his exchange with LeBron James in Game 4.

Green "made unnecessary contact with a retaliatory swipe of his hand to the groin of James", according to the NBA.

Green had accumulated four flagrant foul points over the course of the playoffs. 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.

James has retroactively been assessed a technical foul.

So far, this is the only prediction about this series I got right.

This is kinda interesting... wonder if it was about how shitty the refs have been

Still going to be a tough task to win 3 in a row over GS. Regardless of Green being out for Game 5.

Good. I hope the league office has some words with Green about what appears to be a pretty obvious past of dirty moves focusing on the nuts.

I don't remember him doing crap like that at Sparty, so I wonder if Izzo kept a lid on him or if he just decided that's how he's going to play in the pros?

well once you blatantly kick someone in the balls and get away with it, it's only natural to think you can do it again and have the same result in regards to the league office.

Poor WeBron got his wittle feelings hurt when mean Draymond called him a bad word

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

Any word on if Draymond is going to get suspended? Don't think it will really matter, I don't see Cleveland winning at the Oracle. That place will be rocking.

I do.

 

[WolverineMike]

I do.

It's an interesting stat. But I have a feeling all stats will be out the window with GS this game. They are up 3-1 and probably still feel like they are being disrespected. I won't be surprised if it's a blowout.

Or maybe he took offense to getting punched in the dick. I don't know...

Oddly enough, btn just showed 2012 OSU v sparty. Sure enough, draymond green did the same shit, and even got a technical that game, which was at home, and it happened right next to izzo. Green has been a scumbag since day 1. That being said, I wonder if the series was tied at 2 if he would have been suspended.

Reggie Miller doesn't think so. He tweeted out saying just that. Basically calling out the NBA for trying to stretch the series.



If CLE doesn't find a way to win tonight it'll be even more embarrassing for them after being handed this.......

 

[AKAK]

All commentary around game five, including in game commentary must now be punctuated with "... in the junk"

Miller calls it stretching the series, I call it trying to save face (in the wake of not suspending him in OKC) in a series they know GS will win anyway. So in that sense, I also agree that in a 2-2 series he plays. The leagues nightmare would be if they somehow became the first team ever to blow a 3-1 series lead because of it, but they are banking that the chances of that are zero...in the junk.

Also, if Bron thought the trash talking was too harsh before, he better be prepared for an onslaught of it tonight. I don't think I've ever heard a superstar complain to the media about trash talking. Not a good look. Even got Klay Thompson saying shit like "I guess we hurt his feelings." Players are simply disrespecting Lebron left and right now. Nobody would have ever said something like that about MJ. Bron better bring out the thick skin, or it's going to be lights out.
