NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[gordontrue]

IMHO, Green needs to sit. What I don't get, is this tap gets the suspension but kicking Adams square in the junk is nothing. The NBA got this right, just the wrong series. Green is a dirty player. No room for this crap in the NBA anymore.

If you guys are going to continue to ignore the truth... I'm going to continue to remind you of it.

Kick to Green -> Upgraded to Flagrant 1 + Fine
Hit to LeBron -> Upgraded to Flagrant 1

Sorry to correct you but the kick to Adams was upgraded to a flagrant 2+fine. Was called a flagrant 1 on the court

You're right. My bad.

Which only further disproves the popular ongoing narrative.

@Lebron claiming he's "been taking the high road for 13 years."

Just got the chance to HEAR/SEE the sound bite of Lebron trying to explain that he unintentionally stepped over Draymond, and it was quite hilarious

Do you have a link?

Was busy all weekend but I have some thoughts on Game 4. I thought the Cavs did play pretty good defense but they simple weren't making shots especially from long range. The Dubs hit like 16 3's and shot over 50% from 3. I thought that honestly was the difference. I was surprised the Cavs stayed in the game so long despite shooting bad from long distance.

As far as the series goes, I said the Cavs had to win that game to have a chance in the series but the Draymond suspension gives a little hope but not much. I think if they can have a great game 5 and shoot well and take one game at a time and think they can somehow push this to a game 7 but most likely it will be a near impossible feat to beat GS 3 straight and 2 on the road. I think if they push it to Cleveland they can push it to a Game 7 but they have to make shots and continue the defense they are playing to have a chance.

3 in a row! Lets do this.

Well in his defense, he has never kicked anyone in the balls

 

[gordontrue]

Something that will come into play IF the Cavs win tonight....

Once you hit the limit on flagrants... every single flagrant foul from then on results in another suspension.

That puts Draymond in a tough position for Game 6. If he commits a flagrant and the Cavs win... he is out for Game 7. He will have to balance being his usual aggressive self with making sure he doesn't cross any lines.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It wasn't that bad that Green patted Lebron on his balls, it was fact he keeps going for players' balls intentionally. I think this guy needs to come out of the closet already, his obsession with balls is starting to creep people out

 

[Shanemansj13]

No team has won the NBA Finals being down 3-1. Actually, not one team has forced a Game 7 since 1966 being down 3-1.

Take it one game at a time.

 

[gordontrue]

Coming back from a 3-1 deficit in a series is incredibly difficult.

Doing it as the away team is way more difficult.

Doing it in the Finals against a 73-win team... you get the point.

All that said.... 1 game at a time. A win tonight puts a HUGE dent in the task at hand.

Woke up tonight knowing it is the final meaningful NBA game until late October

Beautiful feeling

Lebron has no balls .If he had any he would have went down in pain.

 

[darken65]

Cavs will win tonight ,the script has already been written.

I see you guys are hoping for more Draymond Green suspensions. If that's not conceding defeat, I don't know what is.

 

[shopson67]

A flagrant 1 is not intentional. You do know that right. Look up the meaning of a flagrant 1 then come back

So, you think his actions vs Lebron deserved the same call that his actions vs Adams? They were both upgraded to non-intentional flagrant 1s. There was no need to upgrade his foul vs Lebron.

You are reading way too much into my post.

If the Cavs win tonight it will be a very relevant factor in Game 6.

Actually the Adams kick was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 and came with a $25k fine.

I agree with this. Every talking head out there has even said that the foul shouldn't have been upgraded. I'm sure Draymond learned his lesson from this one though.

Yep, you just can't play that recklessly and give the refs the opportunity to kick you out. Maybe he'll stop flailing like a rockette now whenever he's fouled.
