We not gone sit here and act like the kings aren’t just flat out outplaying the warriors. With or without Draymond
I'll actually go against every normal person on this, you don't punish Draymond for the hamming it up, that's good for the league and it's good fun, there's no rule that says you cant get the fans into it. If your the NBA the shield and the commisioner you CANNOT allow yourself to overly punish someone who you have a personal beef with so "oh he's done this before" or "oh he was actin up infront of Adam silver" are both terrible points, your the NBA you are NOT a fan you are NOT a team you CANNOT be biased ESPECIALLY when you are dealing with issues of player safety.
When punishing this you have to look at who created unnecessary and dangerous play, it wasn't Draymond it was Sabonis, that has to be punished yes Draymond should've been kicked out, but also honestly Sabonis should've also been kicked when they looked at it and acknowledged he instigated a dangerous play.
To further give Draymond a suspension because "he done it before" and "the league is annoyed with him" gives out the message that it is okay to be the player who instigates dangerous play IF the one you instigate the league doesn't like or has a history of doing it in the past. ALL of that should be totally irrelevant when we are talking about penalties involving player safety, if your the NBA you have to rise above the pettiness and do what is best to prevent dangerous incidents involving player safety IE you gotta punish the instigator, kick them both out of the game and suspend no one honestly, but if you decide on a suspension you DEFINITELY need to make sure the instigating actor is suspended.
Gotta take out the whole "Draymond should know better" attitude because these penalties are not petty "he shouldn't have done that" these are "someone could get hurt and the league does not allow those types of plays", Players can be biased, coaches can be biased, individual refs can be biased in the moment, but the NBA organization itself needs to be WAYYY above the pettiness and say "hold on, forget all the stuff that's circumstantial how do we prevent dangerous plays like that from happening?" and the answer is obviously punish any player that acted dangerously making sure the instigator is punished because the instigation is the biggest preventative for further dangerous plays in the future.
I know we as fans don't like Draymond or that he never learns but the NBA and the league has to be WAY above that, it has to be about player safety in the end because if it's not than why are we even punishing these plays?
For all the winning the warriors team/ fan base has won they are the biggest sore losers ever lol. Prior to this series sabonis has never harmed a fly and nobody batted an eye. The hypocrisy
IT'S THE REfs FAULT,IF HE HAD DONE HIS JOB,WHEN SABONIS GRABBED DRAE FOOT, IT WOULD HAVE NEVER ESCALATED TO DRAMON REACTIONS..THE REF WAS RIGHT THERE ,,HOW FAST HE BLEW THE WHISTLE ON DRAMON AND NOT ON SABONIS…NBA IS RIGGGED,AND THIS NEED TO STOP..YOU'RE SEEING THIS MORE OFTEN..LAST YEAR THEY WANTED THE CELTICS TO WIN, THEY ARW DOING IT AGAIN 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
The warriors losing the game is irrelevant. That’s their problem. The nba has a job to do. And protecting the warriors is not apart of that job
Joy A+
Shady is so bias, he admitted that he’s a Warriors fan today. He’s awful.
Best show on Fox hands down n im here for Joy anything she says is law alot of Warrior haters out here
So what I'm hearing is if the warriors would've won the game then they would've been OK with the suspension but since they lost, missing 7 minutes of a game is punishment enough for stomping on someone?😂😂 they can't even form a good argument against this, all they can say is "what did he do" HE STOMPED HIS OPPONENT OUT! After knocking a teammate out earlier in the season, cuz acting like he playing in San Quentin 😂
Shady is hard to watch, bro don’t know wtf he be talking about but be so confident in what he saying 🤦🏾♂️😂
Nba tired of draymond shi
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Man i wish i was elite in sports ,,you can do anything ,,and get defended for it . what aboutisem at its fines .
These hot takes by the media are crazy. "Suspending Draymond is handing the series to Kings." "Put an asterisk next to the win."
Okay, let's go there. Since Draymond is so important, Why don't the media demand he get a max contract? He's that important to the Warriors. I mean he's game changing. Series changing. That's worth max money no?
I don't hear them talking about how Warriors disrespecting Draymond not offering him a new contract, going into luxury tax for him.
Oh and no one outside of GSW fans actually question if Cleveland won the series legit.
They should’ve fined him big with a warning, instead of the suspension.
Lady stop!!! It was not just physical but rather mental. He did that to get Draymond react, etc. and it did work in their favor. The commissioner rised above, saw everything decided what he thought it's right in his own eyes. This lady just want a decision in favor for Warriors. There was other options Dray could have done without having to step on Sabonis.
white players never get penalized when they physically attack black players, as in this incident. 23 of the 30 NBA teams are owned by white jews that never touched a basketball.
Shady missing the point as usual, part of the reason he got suspended was his past history and going at it with the fans.
Why does he stand up as if he’s Lording over everyone? I’d much rather listen to everyone else.
The nba decision is based on the individual actions and history. These morons at the table opinion is based on “what hurt the warriors most” and “I want to see the warriors fully healthy”. That’s why they don’t get paid to make these decisions because they only see things through the scope of a fan and viewer
This means that teams can now use this strategy to get an opposing team's player suspended, especially a key player in the opposing team. All they have to do is perform an act that warrants a technical foul (twisting an ankle) and get the opposing player to react so that he gets suspended the next game. This works as a strategy because the person who started it knows he won't get suspended. The act only warranted a technical foul. This sets a precedent that should be applied to all other players in the league or else this is just a biased suspension against a player because of his reputation, not because of the act that warranted the suspension.
Not ma boi Kirk Franklin
What about his behaviour after his foul
Man wtf nobody talking about how he was taunting the crowd with commissioner in arena and a dirty past and wasted a bunch of time.
This man said the cac-rameno- kings
Draymond: "He grabbed my ankle…so I can crush his rib cage."
Draymond: "He said I can't shoot…so I can punch Poole`s light out."
Draymond crossed the line. He violently responded with an intentional attempt to injure someone. Draymond could have easily pulled his leg away. Even if Sabonis grabbed his leg, he did so to prevent Draymond from running back and creating a 5-4. Draymond could have allowed Sabonis to get the only technical, given the Warriors a free throw and the ball…but no, Draymond choose the idiotic move and then choose to celebrate and taunt the crowd while the injured player is still on the ground (never a good look especially in front of the commish).
The problem about this is that if you instigated lets like that kind of foul you can argue with refs if they decided to toss you out or eject you the game.
Play stupid games , win stupid prizes
Draymond keeps playing and winning
The guy standing he is such a dummie
I just find it crazy how they wanna excuse green 4 literally stomping on someone's chest just because it's the playoffs like really 🤦
Cry about it 😂
He could have pulled Draymon hip out. Dumb play period
I’m sure they’re not disappointed with that paycheck
Draymond Green has been getting away with his BS for years he still hasn't learned. SABONIS made a dirty play BUT dray got what he earned
If you wanna suspend Draymond, fine. Then you gotta suspend Sabonis too b/c he instigated the incident.
The league did not do this to Draymond. Draymond did this to Draymond.
The reason he was suspended is because he's an habitual offender….. It's that simple
