    Sabonis is a dirty player. He tried to break Draymond's leg with that illegal foot grab.

    Wut? Did you just wake up today and say "I'm going to post the most wrong thing I can today"? Well, you can't say you didn't complete one goal today!

    Fuck Draymond! He's been one of the worst guys in the league on the court for years and he should get suspended for a few games for the shit he pulled tonight. For anyone that thinks he is a trade target, think again. I've never liked Draymond's game, the dude is nothing if the refs don't let him get away with fouling. He's like a 6'6" version of PatBev. Fuck both of them!

    Sometimes when I can't watch the game live I'd record it, abstain from the radio and my phone as to avoid finding out the outcome until I can watch the recording. If I were a Kings fan in Sacramento, this Light The Beam thing is gunna spoil it

    I still think this series is a toss up. GS will smoke them at home. Great series that will probably go 7 games.

    True, but a big time trade is what got them in the playoffs. They traded their coveted lottery pg and older shooter that played zero D, for a post guy that bangs and scores.

    Sabonis grabbed draymond legs and tried to trip him.
    I paused the replay and its clear Sabonis has both arms wrapped around Draymonds foot/leg. This does not excuse a foot stop but people acting like Draymond is the only person who did anything wrong

    anyone not seeing that, needs to see an eye doctor, or lets emotions overrule facts… but that never happens around here right?

    Some of you let your hate overrule common sense. Not a quality trait….

    Hard to tell here:



    Personally I don't think either thing is a big deal. There's plausible deniability on both sides, and I'm sure there're people who would say it's fucking obvious they were both at fault. Gotta say the exaggerated frog hop Draymond did isn't helping his case, though.

    I think if Green had REALLY stomped "as hard as he could" Sabonis's sternum would've shattered.

    Im a huge Sabonis fan and I too see that he gingerly encircled Greens leg causing a leg jerk reaction Green style.
    He shouldn't be suspended, imo.

    Perhaps a tad premature.

    Obviously. I'm kinda surprised at how much i hate this GS team when watching them in the playoffs. Every single thing about them bugs me.
