Definitely a stomp but come on be a little discreet about it. That said the way sabonis grabbed him could have been an injury. Right now the kings look incredible. Hopefully two games at home ties the series.

Golden state probably have to give up 3 first fround picks plus salary match players from lakers to make it worth it for both teams. I doubt the lakers will listen to lebron at year 21 to get what he wants, but getting future firsts might help them since they traded away their whole future for lebron already. Draymond Could cause trouble in la.

I think since the warriors are sone after this season, its cheaper to just keep him and hold onto those picks. No team wants draymond at that price of 27 million.

One game suspension. I would say warriors have 45% chance of winning game 3, since they will play at home on game 3, without draymond.

If it goes 0-3 i give them 1% chance of winning the series.

That's all? Green must know where all the bodies are buried. Anyway, I give the Warriors about a 65% chance of winning the series and chip especially if Kuminga steps up. Which was their plan anyway to replace Green with him, IMO. Steph and Klay can still kill you when they both are on a roll.

What Green did was complete BS, but Sabonis IS NOT completely innocent either. He could've injured Green as well by holding his ankle like that.

We will see. The Warriors of old would have won at least one of the first two. Last time Green got suspended like this in the finals against the Cavs, did not go well for them.

I stand by what I said on Tuesday; If this was a first-time offender I could see and be on board with the one game suspension, especially when you could make a case that Sabontas started this whole thing first by grabbing his ankle. However, like I said, the other night Green is NOT a first time offender. NBA really dropped the ball here! He should be suspended at least the 2 home games game 3 & 4, but really for his childish behavior that he seems to pull yearly, he shouldn't be playing again this series. Either Green has incriminating photos on his phone OR Silver & the NBA offices have already decided they don't want Sacramento in the second round and are doing what they can to make that happen.

He knows this is the playoffs and doing something like this can lead to suspension, but he still chose to do it. Poole and wiggins might not play on game 3, theyre both listed as questionable. If they lose game 3, i really doubt they will win 4 games in a row with draymond back.

This is the final year for the lakers, suns, and warriors for the western conference. main issue is age. All 3 teams are doomed if they dont win this year.

A while back on NBA radio they were saying that the refs could easily kick eject Green every single game with the way he jaws at them but it would be unfair to the Warriors, so they let him push the envelope. He constantly gets away with more than almost any other player. And its not like he is Luka. He is essentially a role player now. I don't think the NBA wants SacTown to go deep in the playoffs.

Refs could give techincals and toss him every game, but the nba will lose alot of revenue since its stephs and klays team. The nba would have to discipline the refs had that happened. Had draymond been just a role player in his career and in a losing team, he might get ejected every game and be in the g league. The warriors dealt with his issues for so long since he does provide alot of value for so long as long as they at least have a shot at the ring for years. It beats having no shot at the ring and stars leaving, having to scout and draft good and hoping they turn out good, for decades.
