Draymond Green

Wonder what the league would do to Cousins if he had been the one that kicked Adams two games in a row like that ?
He would have been drawn and quartered.
I watched the post game show and I was surprised to see Shaq and Barkley say that it was an accident. That didn't look like an accident to me. I like Draymond, but that was intentional. Shaq was saying it was a "flail" to act like he was fouled but wow, that was one heck of a flail.
It's hilarious that there are people who insist it was an accident.
Green is a player that always gets under my skin with his constant flexing after everything he does. He plays hard but he is a dirty player. I hope the Thunder lay it on them in this series.
Great player that should have been thrown out. Not sure if it's on the Jones level but deliberate nonetheless.
Part of the game...just ask Steve Kerr. Kerr said Westbrook does that on every attempted three. As G.Gordon said...Bravo Sierra!
Draymond Green: "Russell said I did it on purpose but he's a part of the superstar group that started all this acting in the NBA."
Draymond Green: "Russell Westbrook kicked me at the end of the half. He just didn't happen to catch me where I had caught Steven Adams at."
Totally glad he never ended up as a Cat after committing to Tubby. Draymond Green is the perfect example of media bias though. He's basically a dirty version of DeMarcus Cousins but does not get berated by the media because the Warriors are the darlings of the NBA right now.
I'll take a guy who plays as hard as he does every night on my team any day of the week. Sounds like most of you complaining about his antics have a personal problem. When it comes to basketball, he's good.
As the enforcer I understand Green's role. Every great team has a player like him. But they do push the limits and Green has been pushing them a tad to much over the past month, so some of the benefit of doubt are being thrown out right now. Fair? It is his role and he has to deal with it. Another Flagarant foul would have been better than a kick to the family jewels.
I still wish today's players would watch one old Bulls - Knicks series or Boston - Detroit or even Showtime vs. Boston. Players were decapitated. Not saying I like that but at the same time, those teams scored 100 every game.

you got that right. Some of those old games like that were rougher than the pick-up games I played in college and those resembled a street fight 95% of the time.
Laimbeer, Rodman, Dumars, Isaiah, Salley all did not care to smack somebody right in the chops.
I think the real question would be, what would Cuz do to draymond? And I think we all know we'd pay money to see that
imp:Watch the replay...Unintentional? Seriously? Donovan say he was proud of Adams for not responding.....don't think he could after absorbing that intentional kick.
No way the nba suspends him. It's the playoffs and he plays for a very popular team.
Imo he kicked the guy in the nuts on purpose but I don't see them suspending him.

You were correct. He got fined. Complete ********. Hope the Thunder retaliate.
Bigger joke would be Kevin love and Triston thompson's play in Toronto:thumbsdown: They play like that in the finals and they'll get the piss beat outta them, no matter who they play..
Idk whether it was or not..just saying I like the way he plays. Triple double machine
Just because he was comitted does not make him a former Wildcat, he was a Spartan. Personally I can't stand the guy, he's so cocky, arogant, and overrated it's not even funny. Stick him on an average nba team and he would be an average NBA player IMO.
what exactly happened after that?
I saw a vine where Green obviously kicked his leg out deliberately - no accident there. I haven't been watching, so if someone could give a little detail as to what's going on?
I like the way he plays too but that doesn't mean he gets a pass for everything he does. That was an intentional kick and it was done out of frustration because they were getting thumped and he was getting locked down.
I missed the live version. I flipped the game on after it happened and kept listening to the play by play guys talking about not knowing if Draymond would be suspended for the next game. I didn't see the replay until the post game show and I couldn't believe what I saw. What was worse was listening to Shaq and Chuck defend Draymond and say it was accidental . no way was that accidental.
