No hate and I’m about as objective as they come. The league is at fault here for not using even better opportunities to show Green he doesn’t run the league but he gave them no choice. I just wish they would have been honest and said the fan interaction was part of it because it certainly should have been.
If the fan interaction is part of it, prepare to be suspending a ton of players.

That’s what should happen, and fans should be tossed too. The league doesn’t seem to mind the wrestling vibe though. Let’s see if they still feel that way after something happens.

So we’re taking this stand in the playoffs? That makes zero sense. You want to take a regular season agenda (which is questionable and likely the minority opinion anyway) and apply it to the playoffs. Really bad take.

Fans call people out of their name and players just supposed to be cool with it lol.

I love when players give it back to the fans as long as it is another adult. A grown ass adult can handle some words back at him/her

Eh I really don’t consider it a regular season vs playoffs thing, really insignificant. Draymond knew he could push the limits because he has been given so much leeway. Now he knows maybe those days are over.

Play doesn't happen if Sabonis doesn't grab his foot and the league completely ignored that fact. At least upgrade Sabonis play to a flagrant 2

There are just some things you can’t do. Draymonds explanation was such shit. He said he had to have somewhere to put his foot. Yeah ok fine but he didn’t just step on Sabonis, he wound up and stomped him. Not cool, he can sit.

I agree he didn't have to stomp on him just like I hope you would agree that sabonis started it and did not have to grab his foot

I’m not going to make excuses for Sabonis, he did what he did. Draymond gets what he gets, he has brought every bit of it on himself and unfortunately his team.

Same. As long as it isn't physical

Dirty play from Sabonis on two counts. He should have gotten whatever Draymond got.

I'd prefer Dray have not been suspended but this is obviously more of a result of his past behavior.

You just hate draymond and can't be objective. I watched all 96 minutes of that series and prior to Sabonis trying to perform a ufc submission move on him, he did nothing out of the ordinary for him

Disagree

This was dirty af

Looked like sabonis was trying to cover up and they got got tangled

He may have hung on a little extra after noticing it was green though

He stomped on a dude in a way that makes hulk hogan blush

This was the obvious one

They already suspended him for a key nba finals game for far less

Nobody feels sorry for this loser

Yeah, I don't feel sorry for him. His suspension is more about what he's done in the past than what ge did in the game.

But I do think the league either shouldn't have suspended him or should have suspended Sabonis too.
