What should the NBA do with Draymond Green?

[ejftw]

How many games did Pandas World Artest get for his elbowing of Harden?

Double that.

[The Servant]

A nut kick, a punch, now a stomp. He has a history of this (not including the civilian he punched a few years ago in 2017). Guy is simply a thug and a nuckle dragger.

I think the warriors/green could have claimed some uncoordinated/ off balance/ mistake thing, but in his post game interview Draymond essentially said the refs weren’t doing anything about people grabbing his leg, so he did something about it. Impossible to not suspend when he basically said he intentionally stomped on someone. For all the “he grabbed his leg” talk - grabbing a leg is a foul, stomping is a suspension. Seems pretty clear.

Multiple games is appropriate and I don't think it would be wrong if he missed the rest of the series (if not the rest of this postseason). Draymond has a history of failing to control his emotions, and even though some of the rhetoric around that stomp is over the top, that s*** has to be unacceptable and the league should come down harshly on it.

I like Draymond and his passion, but that utter lack of self-control can not be tolerated.

2, Same as Love stomping on Scola

Think Sabonis was a bit of an idiot grabbing his ankle, I know Draymond has sat on him and held him up in the same type of play, But you really cant stomp on guys, If Draymond Falls over, Sabonis gets a retroactive tech

[ItsDanger]

I don't like Green either but most people are really blowing this out of proportion. No suspension. Describing it as a stomp is over the top.

[dzumaal]

Just shameful behavior. Multiple game suspension.. And that's coming for someone who's pulling for GSW in this series.

[Grubie024]

Sabonis grabbed his foot. That's what started the altercation.
Draymond definitely out of line and should get suspended, but Sabonis messed around and found out.

[Harry Garris]

He should get at least a game or two suspension, especially because that precedent has already been established.

But if I had to guess what will happen in reality is 0 games. Player punishment in the league lately is wildly inconsistent and seems to be based more off of Adam Silver reading twitter discourse than off of any kind of principled approach.

[Texas Chuck]

Their premier franchise is down 0-2. My guess is he gets nothing. Shouldn't be that way but while the Kings have been a great story, the league wants the Warriors. And they have a bad history of manipulating suspensions in the way that just coincidentally favors the odds of getting the results they want.

Yeah I'm cynical here.

Yeah, if someone dents your car, you should pull out your gun and shoot them twice, perfectly reasonable.

So you admit Draymond was in the wrong Game 1 and that it would have been acceptable for Sabonis to retaliate?

There is no way for Silver can let this go without blowback. The Timberwolves saved Silver the trouble of tapping Gobert with the hammer. But there won't be much choice here unless he wants to lose face.

I actually feel that player punishment in the regular season is generally pretty consistent... But the postseason is a different story...

[Gus McCrae]

In a vacuum, he shouldn’t be suspended. I don’t think it was that bad.

[Lou84]

Stomping on others is a no go. I mean, how he tried to sell it by jumping afterwards is comical. Dude needs to be suspended multiple games. He is known for his antics, enough is enough imho.

Should do nothing, Green should’ve got a common foul, there was no intent. Problem is Green has no legs to stand on to defend this accident unlike prior incidents so the league will be forced to sanction him for stepping on Sabonis’s tummy.

Love was suspended 2 games for a stomp that did not look as bad as this. Plus Draymond has a history of dirty plays. He should get 2+ games. My guess is he'll get 1.
