What should the NBA do with Draymond Green?

[Johnny Bball]

When Sabonis pulls his leg, all Green has to do is walk on him and he doesn't even get a tech and achieves the same pretty much. Its the clear crouch/bend to aim and stomp that gets him caught here, and hurts more.

Suspend him for the rest of the playoffs. A players record needs to be accounted for in the decision.

Someone needs to smash curry this next game and then antagonize the crowd in GS.

See some players get some fines on the Kings.
Perhaps bring up the last time they went into playoffs and had the refs screw them in a series with bull calls.

Guess it’s been too many years since the NBA screwed the Kings in the playoffs. Gotta make up for lost time.

Or not. The last thing I want is a guy on the Kings acting like Draymond Green.

[Jerry Maine]

And the poll is kinda meaningless given it's Dray, he's not exactly going to get a fair trial around here

Well considering that Draymond Green's dirty plays compilation could be just as long as his career highlight reel it's going to be hard for him to get a fair trial in these situations.

True, but prior history determines sentencing, not guilt

I'm still of the opinion it was a dirty play but the leg grab complicates things. I'm guessing he gets a 1 game suspension

[Braggins]

Haha, look at this tough guy, I wish you come to Serbia or Greece and do that in front of those fans. I am not a hooligan fan enthusiast usually, but this guy deserves it.

Unrelated, but it cracks me up when people think players from Eastern or Southern Europe are soft because they are white lol.

[BoatsNZones]

Lol he's not getting a **** suspension. A) He's not the instigator and B) I think it's clear as day Sabonis was putting on a full acting job. I was expecting at least 3 cracked ribs given that Oscar worthy performance. And congrats, it worked well enough to earn the flagrant 2 in a very important game.

Teams know they can bait Draymond into this nonsense though. I wish he was half as smart as he thought he was.

Not going to happen. The Kings want to play ball. So do the Warriors it needs to be said, it's only 1 person that's the problem. Let's see if Domas is "dirty" in game 3 like some Warriors fans on RealGM are trying to make him out to be.

Pulling a guys leg is a dirty move. Even the refs thought so as he got a T for it. Doesn't go to Draymond's level, but don't act like that's not dirty.

[Big nick]

Life time ban for the piece of sh## before he ends someone's career. I can't believe people defend the bum.

[Big nick]

I will say green wouldn't have done this kind of bs if he played back in the late 80s and early 90s he would have had his ass kicked. Some of those boy were bad to the bone I bet he wouldn't have though he was tough then.

Imagine what Rodman can do to Draymond. Owned his azz like a little biatch and then get him ejected and suspended.

[Kent]

I'm more interested in the context behind any punishment or perceived lack thereof.

Especially when you consider Joe Dumars is head of basketball operations for the NBA and known for his sportsmanship.

I have all the respect for Joe, just saying I'm really curious on his take.

Good. The second best thing to happen to the NBA today.

Have a look at the other angle. You can clearly see he is trying to protect himself and yes his arms wrap around Drays leg. It was not deliberate IMO (even though the TNT angle looks like he did). It was negligent on Domas' behalf for sure, that's why he got a tech. If the ref viewed it as deliberate he would have been tossed as well.
I don't understand how people continually give someone like Dray who has the worst reputation, the benefit of the doubt and make up excuses.
Domas has never been a dirty player, yet people don't give him the benefit of the doubt. Wonder why that is?

[kaansunman]

It wasn't a dirty move it was a smart move to provoke Draymond and it did work. I think one game suspension is not fair, especially in the play-offs.it's NBA changes how they officiate the games in play-offs, they should have been more tolerable.

Sabonis is questionable for the third game. May miss it, may even miss more games. Even if he plays, he may be in pain constantly or at least whenever his chest gets in contact (and you can bet that Draymond will constantly target his chest in game four). The stomp had a good chance to break some ribs as well, Sabonis is lucky to have none broken.
With all that in mind, you're saying that players should be allowed to stomp (or perform other actions that are liable to seriously injure) on the stars of other teams upon any (real, accidental, or imagined) provocation without even getting suspended? Flagrant 2 is a fair exchange for injuring other teams' star?

Not all of us, mate, don't label us by the dozen.

I actually agree with you, seems Sabonis was trying to protect himself, and Dray's stomp is clearly intentional to me. His act afterwards is also his way to express frustration, he did almost the same when he got ejected in the finals last year in Boston iirc.

I am sick and tired of his antics, and i really wish my dubs will get rid of him, defensive genius or not.

This man is a menace. Y’all defend this bozo?
