OT: Draymond Green Morticias the Adams Family

The best is on GoldenStateOfMind (GSW's sbn blog) a couple characters over there said Steven Adams was acting and he basically missed. Also trying to justify it but saying oh he flailed/flopped and that's what you do to get a foul call ... then bash LeBron for flopping.

Sparty nation: How many games will Adams get for junking Green in the leg?

Personally, the more I watch it, the more unnatural it looks to me and he should be suspended 1 game, no question. Draymond Green does flail a lot to try and draw whistles from the refs, but watching it in slow motion his leg unnaturally has a heck of a lot more momentum behind it and goes a lot higher than a typical "flail" would.

I also think we aren't addressing arguably the most important aspect of this discussion: Dahntay Jones, end-of-the-bench-dirty-Duke-player-for-the-Cavs, was suspended 1 game the night before this for what I would consider a similar incident. Obviously, it has basically zero implications on the Eastern Conference series because he doesn't contribute, but because they suspended Jones, they HAVE to suspend Green, right? Jones wasn't even called for a foul on the play, while Green was whistled for a Flagrant 1.

If they don't suspend Green, the NBA is publically showing its cards that player status/talent/contribution is a factor when determining suspensions. Media would jump all over it.

Draymond Green...newly crowned King of the Testicle Festival.

He referred to Adam's junk as his "midsection" in the post game interview. Sparty's gon Spart.

Morticias? Morticia was smoking hot.

It was baffling how Draymond "kick 'em in the nuts" Green and Steve Kerr were actually trying to say they thought the flagrant foul should be rescinded. If it happened once maybe he gets the benefit of the doubt, but that's 2 straight games to the same guy. He needs to sit!

First, this thread title is an all timer. Second, suspensions like this have a huuuuge influence on a series relative to the severity of the offense. I'm still stung by the Amare Stoudamire suspension from a tight series between the Suns and the Spurs--he basically took three steps off of the bench because Steve Nash was brutally hipchecked into a table and got axed for a game, basically deciding an otherwise great series. But the Association also has a responsibility to deal with things like this. They automatically toss guys for punching and for really hard fouls. This is fine, as long as guys who engage in cheap stuff that might prompt such retaliation get properly disciplined. If you remove from teams the freedom to deal with something on the court, you must take that responsibility yourself. The NHL has a hard time with this, because it used to be that everything was enforced on the ice, and now there is a weird gray area where it sometimes isn't. So the NBA has to do something. Maaaaybe there was some exaggerated reaction and maaaaybe Green was just selling the foul, but it looked to me like Green was trying to take a subtle cheap shot and didn't quite nail the "subtle" part. I think you have to suspend him for a game. Third, FWIW I still enjoy the Warriors and want them to win (though an OKC-Cleveland Finals would be fascinating and I wouldn't mind either of them winning) but Green is a jerk. But I grew up a fan of the Bad Boys, so I understand a guy can be "your" jerk if he's on the right team. It's a part of the game.

Draymond likes grabbing other guys' dicks. What a punk. Combine that with the lovely photo of Conner Cook poking his teammate in the butt and you can see a trend at Staee.

I'm curious how many of the people here castigating Green were defending Suh for his dong kick?

Going into the series I didn't think Golden State had anyone that could hurt OKC down low.
