It won’t. Risking injury to your stars in what is already a decided game is playing with fire.

Kerr is smart for this and Warriors are better off losing this insignificant game.

Im guessing absolving Draymond of blame is just a san francisco thing in general and not just a GSW thing.

I honestly think Draymond Green could run over someone and still not be punished for it. Same dude who cracked his teammates jaw. Kicked people in the nuts. Stomped on peoples chest.

Yes Adam Silver is at fault lol.

Oh and silly me forgetting...CHOKING players!

Tell me that isn't the face you'd see from an episode of scared straight. dude is straight up insane.


I can't stand Draymond but that game 5 suspension was to a joke.


It's called accumulation. If that idiot was smart enough to understand the meaning of it he'd understand why he got suspended. That post season Green was doing all kinds of foul crap.


lol, that 2016 season will never die. Always fires everyone up.

Do they hatr him that much?


No, they just don't want to pay him.

Kerr has been given the orders from upstairs.

They already offered him 5/150 didn't they?

He turned it down and has been mid all season. It got worse with Jimmy being there. Not enough spacing.

Duh, it was still a joke...all he did was flick the teabag off his head.

Worst part is became BFF's with him afterwards. :noway:


Hey i say all this as a draymond fan :lol: :lol:

If he came to the lakers i'd be ecstatic. He's a GOAT level defender.

That OKC-GSW series was awesome. People only talk about the finals but maaaaan that series was incredible. Curry was incredible.

The problem of this warriors team is they put all their hope on Buddy freaking Hield when Curry got bear bugged all game.. Just not build for enough shooting and offense.

Why you smiling Steph? You're losing.

Is Silver going to throw Houston a bone like he did Cleveland???


Silver bent over backwards not to suspend Draymond that year. He deserved a suspension for the Adams kick and Silver gave him a pass. Him finally getting a suspension against wasn't Cleveland getting a gift it was Silver finally deciding to enforce the rules.

Few players in NBA history got away with more than Dray

In the current NBA a 25 point lead isn't an insurmountable one. Maybe it won't but I don't think they are so much better than the Rockets that they can afford to give away games

If they could just pay a $500K fine and give the Rockets the W, they would have. Can’t blame them since they have to preserve the legs of the old guys.
