WCF: Golden State Warriors beat OKC Thunder (4-3)

Looks like the NBA got to the TNT guys pretty quick to gloss it over or Barkley and Shaq must have some serious money on the Warriors. How can you say with a straight face that Green foul wasn't intentional. Was I watching a different play? That's about as intentional as you can get.

I don't see how the league doesn't suspend Green for that low blow... looked worse than Dahntay's

GSW is going to be in a tough spot without Dre next game... could easily be 3-1 heading back to the Oracle

115-84 was pretty soul crushing. I thought that was one of the worst losses in the history of the franchise all things considered.

Yeah, we looked dead in the water after game 1. Then again we looked damned awful in Games 4 and 6 in Indiana too. Man, we've taken some pretty bad lumps this playoffs. It's amazing we're still hanging around. We'll see how the Warriors respond.

Cause he knows without Green they're going to lose game 4.

Green now also saying it should be rescinded in post game interview.

Interview was brutal because you can tell he wasn't believing what he was selling. The fact they all have same story tells you how much they are afraid of suspension and how much they are trying to spin this in the court of public opinion.

Raps know how to respond to adversity. We had a few good games in the playoffs but those few came at the right time.

If the NBA had any balls, Draymond Green would probably kick them too

His was much worse than Jones but thanks to the NBA star power equation, I expect Draymond Green to suit up for game 4

BBallG · Post #887 » by **BBallG** » Mon May 23, 2016 3:08 am

That kick was thrown with intent to make contact. The contact ended up being worse than he wanted. No one "follows through" in that unnatural motion Draymond Donkey. Also, last time I checked you don't have a 40 inch standing vertical for your foot to be that high, jackass...

If any Warrior fans were real men, they would want Green suspended too.

Clear intent. I grant that players do flail often upon getting fouled, but they don't do it like THAT. Draymond did not have to follow through with as much force as he did with his foot, but did it anyway.

Whether the NBA will actually remain consistent with a star player, though, I doubt it.

if green dont get suspended then nba is protecting there precious gsw.

Green already gets away with moving screens, constantly shouting at refs, taunting opponents etc so I fully expect the league not to do anything in this case either.

Dan2087 · Post #893 » by **Dan2087** » Mon May 23, 2016 4:29 am

Best case scenario, I see Draymonds flagrant not rescinded and he plays game 4.

Barkley implied as much when he said the Jones' foul cannot be compared to Green because of who he is. Ernie looked quite surprised when he said it though so maybe the NBA forgot to tell Ernie the company line because if Green is suspended, the Warriors are done.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but what was really bizarre is Kerr and Green post game both said the exact same thing almost to a tee as if they were coached as to what to say to make the possibility of a suspension sound ridiculous. They both had this phony shocked look on thier face when the suspension was mentioned and then both said something to the effect of "Suspension?????? What????? That's crazy. I'm expecting the flagrant 1 to be rescinded, never mind a suspension". It felt rehearsed rather than those spur of the moment biased statements you get post game. Any other league I would give them the benefit of the doubt but I have no such faith in the NBA. Not after the reffing of the Lakers/Kings debacle from 15 years ago. And that Fisher playoff game winning jumper that sunk the Spurs years ago where he was able to take an inbounds pass, turn around and shoot all within .4 of a second that defied the laws of physics but helped the Lakers get to the finals.

If Green gets away with this, there should be some pissed off Suns fans from 7 or 8 years ago when they won game 5 (and went up 3-2) of the WCF and then Horry body checked Nash in the last minute and Amare put half a foot on the court in the ensuing melee and was suspended for game 6 at home along with couple of other Suns players and cost them the series.

wonder why they do that....

Green kneed Adams in a previous game and glared at him. So he's targeting Adams, but in the end they got blown the hell out.

Kabookalu · Post #897 » by **Kabookalu** » Mon May 23, 2016 8:26 am

Steven Adams is the rare center that the Warriors have trouble with. Athletic and mobile enough not to get caught up in their constant ball movement and side to side action, and tough enough to play like a big man inside.

Tha Cynic · Post #898 » by **Tha Cynic** » Mon May 23, 2016 3:13 pm

I just saw the highlights from this game. Green should not be playing next game if the NBA considers itself a legit professional league. That was a blatant kick and there was an actual windup, which you can't do when you're just jumping for a jumper.

I will never understand a man giving another man a low blow. That's **** that can actually hurt your chances of having a child. **** like that should get someone kicked out of a game and suspended for at least 5 games.

Sorry I didn't go through every page but other ppl notice Curry has Lowry Elbow now too?! lol

This is why he will get suspended. He keeps kneeing him in the balls and he got nothing for doing that.

On another note - Waiters is not a team player.
