    Van Gundy is right. This is going to backfire on league officials, big time. Just wait until Silver gets a load of Green's foot as a negotiating technique for the next CBA.

    Adam Silver has done some good things for the league. This is not one of them...

    Draymond gets away with too much bs and this pushes it to another level.

    Less than 24 hours after Dahntay Jones' suspension, this just SCREAMS preferential treatment.

    Adam Silver didn't suspend him because he doesn't know the pain of a nut shot, due to the fact he has no balls.

    God I wish. The NBA want from physical enforcers to crybaby, ball-kicking bitches like Green. Bring back the type of dude to knock someone like this out.

    Well, the NBA is doing everything they possibly can to get longtime fans to give up and stop watching.

    This preferential treatment, along with preferential reffing, rigged outcomes - well lets just say the camels back is surely weakened.
    Personally, it's not going to take much more of this bullshit for me to say Goodbye to this WWE-Ball Horseshit.

    Preferential treatment is the NBA's M.O. Trust me, I know. I'm a teacher.

    OKC should kick Draymond Green in the balls FIRST PLAY. Start five end of the bench goons, and have one of them kick Draymond in the nuts. If I'm the owner, I dare the NBA to suspend my player.

    Nope Thunder aren't Warriors and moreover they are playing Warriors. If any of their players kick Warriors play then NBA will stop the game and end the series handing Warriors the win.

    Well, this makes me more interested in the Playoffs all of the sudden. I want OKC to knock these guys out in 5 games. And I want Toronto win it all. No one has given Toronto a shot all year long.

    Yeah I was mildly favoring Thunder at the beginning of the series but right now I can see myself cheering for them hard. I want Thunder v Raptors.

    retired, while you work!
    This raises the obvious question: What are the qualities of a good ball-kicker? Should he be a taller member of the team, so he can get power into his kick? Or should he be shorter, so he can sneak into traffic and pop one off under everyone's noses? Should he have quickness, or just leaping ability? Should he be the most expendible member of the team? Which Blazer would make the best designated ball-kicker?

    Draymond Green is medium height for a player, which may be the best height. After thinking about this issue for years, I've decided that the best Blazer for the job is my man, Luis Montero.

    C
    Mason Plumlee--great energy, but high center of gravity, especially chin
    Ed Davis--good mean face, but thin, no kick power, falls over on stilts
    Chris Kaman--slow, by the time he'd rotate, his man would have crossed his legs
    PF
    Noah Vonleh--hips wide as a Buick, makes a better door than a window
    Meyers Leonard--legs can't reach to kick when you're 12 feet from your man
    Cliff Alexander--power moves, my 2nd choice
    SF
    Al-Farouq Aminu--can't stop once he starts at you, a real animal
    Moe Harkless--short arms and wingspan, would swing and miss
    Luis Montero--gets all over the floor, when offered the ball, he's there in a flash
    SG
    C.J. McCollum--runs sideways sometimes like he's lying down, more grabber than kicker
    Gerald Henderson--perfect form but misses target, even in the urinal
    Allen Crabbe--catch & grab artist might do well at this, good BBIQ if you know what that means
    Pat Connaughton--need a catcher with big mitts, not a pitcher who likes his mound
    PG
    Damian Lillard--if the place doesn't start with O, doesn't know what to do
    Brian Roberts--been around the block in league, might secretly enjoy it

    The NBA deserves to have a Toronto vs OKC finals after not suspending Green

    I'd like to say that Green not getting suspended surprised me but it didn't. The NBA is an entertainment league and to suspend 1 of the top 5 players left in the playoffs in a pivotal game you'd have to leave the league with their hands completely tied to do it. This was a palatable decision by the league, it upsets OKC fans and people who are generally upset at the league in general but the average audience member who wants to watch a good game is better off for Green not being suspended.
    On a separate note, It doesn't make me think that the league is rigged by any means. There is most definitely preferentially treatment but I don't think the refs nor league try to determine outcomes to games before they are played.
