Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

Reputation matters. He wouldn't be suspended either though.

Not when you're taking shots at a player's head.

Couple this incident with JRs slide into home plate on Klay & Cle looks dirty as a team.

Everyone is just emotional with a lot at stake.

If Draymond got suspended in 2016, what TT was far worst.

LOL.

Draymond was suspended for an accumulation of repeated flagrant fouls over the course of several games.

Flagrant 2 my friend. That's a shot at a player's head. And intentional one. If Draymond got suspended in 2016, what TT was far worst.

I disagree.

Draymond was only suspended in 2016 because he went over his limit for flagrant foul points....Otherwise the suspension never happens

 

[LAD]

Let's review here, shall we:

2016 - Lebron instigates Draymond. Draymond swipes at Lebron's testicals - gets a 1 game suspension.
Cleveland fans support it because Draymond of course is a thug in their eyes.

2018 - Draymond appears to taunt Thompson. Thompson punches/shoves basketball in Draymond's face. Cleveland fans point out that Curry threw a mouth piece and hit a fan (clearly accidental) and TT doesn't warrant a suspension.

You can't make up the hypocrisy.

I think it will be down-graded to a flagarant 1 and a fine - no suspension -

We'll see. TT doesn't have a prior history. But again, if it was Draymond, people would be calling for a multiple game suspension.

TT shouldn't have been thrown out for a non-call on Livingston's shot, and that flagrant 2 will likely be rescinded this weekend. Only reason it was made was because of all the trash-talking between Lebron/Steph/Klay at the end of the game and the refs got on high alert. Now TT's push of the ball in Dray's face is a clear technical foul if not a flagrant, but a suspension? I don't see that.

 

[Heatles84]

I disagree.

Draymond was only suspended in 2016 because he went over his limit for flagrant foul points....Otherwise the suspension never happens

And again, they upgraded it to a flagrant 1 when Draymond didn't even really do anything to Lebron.

Draymond obviously acting like an idiot. But he’s our idiot so idgaf.

JR with the dumb play but Kerr equally fucked up there because he didn’t sub in any rebounders knowing they were taking a time out.

Refs for sure going out to Gold Club tonight on Lacobs dime. Lol

Draymond is the physical player you need as an enforcer really - TT, however really lost his cool, He has to learn to control his temper better

...because Dray has a long history of this kind of crap and really is a douche

 

[Heatles84]

I think his legacy would have been better by ending his career in Miami - but Bosh with blood clots was a serious blow - I don't know they would have over-came that one - I just know that Pat Riley was and is one of the smartest in the NBA and would have found ways

Yeah, in hindsight, Lebron made the right move after all. But he fucked us over drawing out his free agency.

But Lebron left Miami before Bosh had his illness. It's whatever now.

 

[CitySushi]

If anyone talks shit about Lebron again I immediately know you don’t know shut about basketball. He was amazing tonight. Only so much you can do with his teammates.

 

[DorianRo]

Its these types of game you HAVE to win to beat the Warriors. Cavs could have stole HC and put GS on their heels. Warriors will just wake up in Game 2 and put the beatdown on them then you're back playing defense at home and they still won and close it out in 5.

Gotta win these game to stand a chance.

 

[bksballer89]

And again, they upgraded it to a flagrant 1 when Draymond didn't even really do anything to Lebron.

And Tristan received a flagrant at the time of the play. There is nothing more to do

 

[LAD]

LOL.

Draymond was suspended for an accumulation of repeated flagrant fouls over the course of several games.

So what is the definition of a flagrant 2? CLEARLY TT threw an elbow & it was near Livingston's head. Doesn't matter if it connected or not, the point is to keep those types of plays out of the game.

Also, we've seen guys ejected for similar plays that may have lacked intent.

 

[Heatles84]

...because Dray has a long history of this kind of crap and really is a douche

That's great and I don't disagree. But I've seen other players strike a player in the face and get suspended.

Lol except that's not what Dray was suspended for. It was repeated incidents over the course of several games.

 

[shopson67]

Draymond is the physical player you need as an enforcer really - TT, however really lost his cool, He has to learn to control his temper better

Sure, but he was probably already pissed at JR, then there was all the trash talk going on, and then he gets ejected for challenging a shot that shouldn't have even been taken. Then Dray starts spouting off and he lost his cool. Not an excuse, just a chain of events. TT has to be smarter.

 

[shopson67]

He pushed the ball in his face; it wasn't a punch.
