If there's no suspension, the Kings should just have Alex Len stomp and jump off of Steph Curry. Breaking one of Curry's ribs is worth Len getting kicked out of one game, no?

NBA needs to consider the future implications of what they're establishing as acceptable basketball play, and not just this incident. This is why Bynum got suspended 5 games, Stern didn't want this to be an acceptable fine to pay for taking out a player in the playoffs.

Hmmm, even one game ends the series (for all intents and purposes)

How does he keep getting away with this?

Please no suspension.
I want 2*48 minutes of tough game by Kings pair of centers, especially considering Green's teeth are located at nearly the same height as Len's and Domas' shoulders.
Let him taste his own medicine.

I'm still surprised, no team used a end of bench big to knock him on his ass. That guy would probably become a fan favorite for most of us and it would probably ruin Greens playoff series, because that would get to his head.

Agree 1 game for stomping Sabonis but….

Instigating crowd in the way he did 82 games season suspension

He lucky it wasn’t Detroit , he got crowd angry as close as Malice in the Palace , I guess he was lucky it was Sacramento not Detroit

Artest got remaining of the season suspension, Draymond deserves same treatment , all it takes is few or one drunk fan to throw the cup

Draymond is unapologetically a dirty player. He should be done for the series

Also, I am sure Steve "soapbox" Kerr is going to find some lame excuse for Green's ridiculous and dangerous behavior yet again.

Every time Green acts out like this and gets away with it the Warriors organization loses more and more respect and credibility.

The NBA, the Warriors organization and Kerr are all cowards if they let Green get away with yet another violent outburst that is more fitting for a child throwing a tantrum than a grown man representing the NBA and the Warriors.

Green obviously has serious anger issues that he needs to learn to deal with but won't because it looks like everyone is afraid to hold him accountable.


Kerr didn’t see it , he wasn’t even in the arena to begin with

Because he’s buddy buddy with all the media personalities. Him getting into the media world was a brilliant strategy to cover himself

The league would suspend Len if he did it. Silver has established with his method of punishment is that he plays favorites on who gets in trouble and who doesn't. Look at last year when he suspended Brooks. I don't think Draymond would have suffered the same fate as Brooks if he did the same thing Brooks did to GP2 to someone else. Silver has established that it's a double standard he has when it comes to punishment. If you are considered a cash cow in his eyes he will allow you to get away with anything outside of shooting or stabbing someone on the court.

I didn't think it would happen but I'd be genuinely curious to see what the reaction would be if Curry had been stomped out.

I don't think he should be suspended. I want him to play because the entertainment and intensity will be off the charts on Thursday night.

If Sabonis was injured, he should be suspended but he doesn't appear to be.

PLAY ON
