OT - Should Draymond Green be suspended?

Preferential treatment is literally the NBA business model. Fuck the NBA.

 

A day later this is still unfuckingbelievably believable.

Fuck The NBA.

Put that on a T-Shirt.

 

Even for the NBA this is a low blow.

And the NBA was all ready lower than the gutter.

 

D-Green: "I didn't start the practice of NBA favoritism, but I'm the biggest recipient since the 2000-2002 Lakers. Also Adam Silver's tiny dick is really salty."

 

I'm sorry to say not one of the local sports writers had the ovaries to say that Green unjustifiably got away with this. All of them said right decision. Fucking homers.
One writer did say that GSW has now become villains. You think? The Warriors whole PR was they are a team you can love without worry; they won't embarrass the fans or the city of Oakland. Good luck with that.

Oakland is far from the most dangerous place in the world, but being within kicking distance of Draymond Green may be.

 

Exactly. I have become an NBA conspiracy theorist, and this just SCREAMS that the NBA, given the chance "manages the series", just like the officials manage the games.

Fortunately, I don't think the NBA gets a chance to do this too often.

 

The NBA has been doing crap like this for years and their TV ratings keep going up. So why should they be worried? I personally never bother to tune in to anyone but the Blazers, but I would tune in to see a team I hate get beat.

I think everyone likes a fair game, but people are now emotionally invested in their teams.

One thing the NBA does not seem to want is violence to tarnish their "brand", so the only thing that will put a stop to this is violence. They'll learn that if they don't give justice, the players will. That's the whole reason socities have justice systems.

 

I still think the most dangerous place in the world for the NBA is Seattle. That's why they allowed OKC to steal the team from there.

It's a shame that Green gets away with this, but I still can not bring myself to route for an organization that stole a team from an entire city.

 

If I'm the Thunder, Draymond would get close-lined on his first drive to the hoop, or repeatedly hit in the groin on accident.

 

If Green had kicked him much harder, Adams would have had ovaries.

 

It's a delicate balancing act. The Thunder have two tasks: (1) Win the game; and (2) Punish Green. I will be rooting for both to happen, with severe prejudice.

 

You know the refs are going to be on alert to try to rein in any extracurricular activities in Game 4. Wait until Game 5 to retaliate.

 

Absolutely. If Green hits, shoves, or elbows Adams, they will eject Adams on the spot.

 

OTOH, I'm probably going to skip band practice to watch the game tonight - which I otherwise wouldn't have. I wanna see what OKC's response is...but I admit it's more about the spectacle (WWE) than it is about basketball.

 

Reporter: "Why didn't you suspend Draymond Green for flagrantly kicking an opponent in the balls?"

Adam Silver: "For the ratings. Ka-Ching!" "Plus, Draymond LOVES peanut butter."

 

Which is probably why they didn't suspend Green.

 

I think they didn't suspend him because they didn't want a suspension to be a factor in who potentially won the NBA championship. And I think most NBA players agreed with the decision.

Personally I think OKC will win tonight regardless, but I kind of am coming around to agreeing with the decision. Green is a flopping POS, but his actions need to be penalized on the court......by the refs....not the NBA front office.

 

They didn't want a player's conduct on the court or the rules to be a factor in who wins the championship?

You're probably right...but that's wrong...so wrong...so very wrong....

 

I have never wanted to see player retaliation as much as I want to see it tonight against Green.

 

Really Westbrook? You don't know about no flopping or nothing?




God I hate both teams.
