    Every time I look at this it looks more and more intentional. Green didn't even have the ball in his hands when he jumps and field goal kicks Adams in the nards.

    Well, riverman, Adams was not in condition to do much of anything. And I agree with those who say every time you look it's more obvious. Green had clearly landed.

    The testes are a small part, geographically, of the male body, especially one the size of an NBA player. And Green hit Adams square, not a glancing blow or something. The odds that this could all have happened by pure accident are pretty small. Guy's dirty. I repeat what I said when we played GSW, Give me the head of Draymond Green!

    One game suspension for Wade.



    One game suspension for Schroder.



    One game suspension for Cousins.



    One game suspension for Harden.



    Flagrant 2, ejection and one game suspension for Smart.



    One game suspension for Jones, announced hours before Green nailed Adams in the groin.



    The precedents (PLURAL) have been set. The only question should be: one game or two? Green's blow to Adams' groin was more severe than any of the others that drew one game suspensions.

    That was the one, and only, worthwhile comment from that Joe Borgia video. That Green drew the shooting foul and then kicked Adams in the nuts AFTER the whistle ("now we have dead ball contact"). Green got the shot off, drew the whistle, landed on both feet made a small hop and THEN kicked Adams in the nuts. It was not a continuation of his shooting movement. It happened after the whistle and was not a natural basketball move.

    Regardless of intent, it was an unnecessary move that put another player at risk of injury. The penalty should be a MINIMUM one game suspension.

    At the end of the ESPN replay that started this thread - on the angle where you are looking down on the play - you really see it is intentional. Draymond comes down and then a split second after he lands, he kicks. You see there it is clearly after the play and on purpose.

    Yep, he released the ball, landed on both feet, took another small hop and THEN came the kick. It was, in no way, related to his shooting motion.

    He intentionally kicked Adams in the apples.

    Slam dunk.

    Best comment I've read in response: "In more happy news, Draymond Green's foot is now pregnant with Steven Adams's baby."

    For the sake of competitiveness I don't really want to see him get suspended.

    But then again it is Draymond Green, and I think the league should cut down on showing favorability.

    I don't expect him to be suspended.

    I expect he won't be suspended. I also think that will confirm that the league is fixed. And I hope that some journalists start to recognize that the league is fixed, because we fans have suspected it all along.

    I REALLY wish some talented video editor would post a YouTube video compilation of Green's histrionics throughout these playoffs. A montage of his bitching and flailing and arm waving and stomping and screaming and charging the refs after every single call against him. Set to music of course. It could be magical.

    I think the league will suspend him for 1 game, but I expect a lot of calls to go against the Thunder. Honestly, I don't care if they suspend him or not. I got no rooting fight in this game, but it would be nice to see some justice for Green's antics.

    I was thinking more ballet music. Something ironic.

    This is going to be epic when he doesnt get suspended to see people's reaction. I wont lie .... there is a part of that doesnt want him to get suspended just to watch the shit hit the fan. And on that note it might bring MORE awareness to the problem when people freak out :popcorn::jerry:

    Actually, Thunder Struck kind of fits the movements.

    Absolutely. Just like he should have been suspended for at least one game after hitting an official and making him bleed!

    I think Thunderstruck would be more appropriate after last night's game.



    You beat me to it.
