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

It’s funny.

I didn’t even notice the leg grab, only the stomp.

I do think he INITIALLY was trying to cover up.

100% agree.

But, he didn’t let go.

I happen to agree with @thunderc.

Maybe they threw the book at him because of the extra mitigating factors?


The fan interaction, the ref engagements ,the fact that his behavior has escalated and he is unrepentant at best, outright defiant at worst?

 

[thunderc]

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.

Everyone take notice, you are not bigger than the league

Fine Sabonis if you suspend Green.

He seems like a jolly ole chap.

Very pleasant, easy going.

But, he can’t be doing that.

I mean, they suspended him for a pivotal finals game for far less

The precedent had been set

I don’t think anyone who stomped on a guy should be playing the next game

The fact that it’s a guy with greens history just makes it even easier

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Nobody feels sorry for this loser

Absolutely not.

The only reason I’m not cooking this fool daily is because Dillon Brooks is in the league.

What Draymond did was retaliatory.

He was aggrieved first.

But, it was still some Grayson Allen shit.

Yeah, fine them both and call it a day, imo. Give Dray the bigger fine.

My issue with it is that Sabonis essentially made 2 "non-basketball" plays that could have resulted in injury.

I'm wondering what the league would have done if Klay had gotten injured from Sabonis trying to pull him down with him?

Yeah, I’m not defending this bag of dicks.

You can’t stomp on a guy.

Agree, he lost a game for waiving at Lebron’s nuts.

But, it’s Lebron.

What Green did could have jeopardized his ability to spawn a future villain in the war against transgenders, abortion rights, space lasers, voting machines….

Or, is it beer this week?

Agree.

Plus, Draymond is a bully and no one feels bad for the bully when they get their comeuppance.

But if the other kid started the fight....ya gotta punish them too.

Being against space lasers and beer just goes too far…

See how far we have come, my cyber-friend?

Another Classic example of retaliatory fuckery.

Draymomd can’t explain away his bullshit by saying he cheapshotted me first.

This guy can’t explain away the horrific optics of using that descriptor because he’s upset with what Draymomd did.

He also just got suspended 2 hours ago.


What happened yesterday in Sacramento, when Draymond Green just like a monkey was jumping. There is no racism here. If you want you can try to see this kind of jumping is a monkey jumping, and he was jumping on Domantas Sabonis. If you see racism here, it's your own personal problem. It was horrible behavior and later he claimed that 'my leg was stuck, I didn't have anywhere to put my leg and that's how I stepped on him'. No, you kicked him because he hold your leg. A real animal, animal.”

Was unaware salaries overseas rose to this level.

No, seriously…

He will get a job.

But, not at mid level plus.

I think he’s a no take at any price for a lot of squads. If you need both your guards to help space with the defense respecting them he can’t get on the floor unless they have glaringly bad defensive pieces in the rest of the group. He seems to fit in Chicago depending upon what they want to do. That’s the only way he gets that 13-15.

They don’t have his bird rights and want to keep Vuc, have to pay White.

Don’t see him getting 10 there.

They would have to give him the non taxpayer and he’s only worth the bi annual.

No they did not.

This is a false narrative.

They suspended him in a Finals game because of accumulation of flagrant foul points over the entirety of the playoffs.

You are making it sound like he was suspended for 1 incident. That is not the case at all.

 

[flyerhawk]

I don't get why anyone would think that Green wouldn't get suspended for the stomp. It was intentional and he meant to inflict pain on Sabonis.

Sabonis tangling Green's leg is nowhere near the same level of infraction.

I believe they could’ve rescinded it. They knew what the consequences were

The playoffs have started.....why are we still posting in here?

LOL.

He might be worth 5-6 mill per at his current age. He high as fuck.
