I not gonna condone Green’s actions, but the NBA just got played by an actor. The Warriors have to be incandescent pissed off. Sabonis grabbed Green’s ankle to stop a fast break with the Warriors storming back in the 4th quarter, and then acted like a soccer player feigning injury to draw a foul, trying to make it look worse than it was.

The replay made clear Green didn’t put all his weight on Sabonis (most weight on leg not on chest) and that it was a pro wrestling stomp, like Green purposely didn’t put all his weight on him. He was kicked out of game and Warriors lost. That was the punishment. A further suspension makes it punitive and is rewarding Sabonis for being a bitch trying to steal momentum from opponent in a very non-basketball act, baiting Green into doing something like he did. 

Absurd.

Agree.  Your comment is absurd.

No, my post is 100% factually on the bullseye. I just watched JJ Redick on ESPN's First Take say essentially exactly what I said, plus add on more that is also 100% fact and further supports my statement. That is Sabonis and the Kings have been goading Draymond through 2 games and not having fouls called against them. He said it appears the NBA is allowing the Kings to get away with far too much through two games, and added he is NOT someone who ever complained about officiating, adding this is the first time he believes he has. And the idea that Draymond deserves a suspension because of "who he is," is all but admits he has a target on his back and is held to a higher standard that others. 

In Game 1, the Warriors were down one in final minute. Curry grabbed a rebound. What did Sabonis do? He pulled Draymond to the floor. Then, when Draymond tried getting up to join the play - again with the Warriors down 1 point with the ball attempting to take the lead and less then 24 seconds left on clock - Sabonis wrapped his arm around Green's chest. No foul was called, and Andrew Wiggins missed a wide open corner 3.

Draymond Green is a fiery and emotional player who wouldn't be a 4-time NBA champion if he didn't play the way he does. He's never hurt anyone and the idea that Sabonis has a bruised sternum and is "Questionable" for Game 3 is just Kings gamesmanship. If the NBA was credible, Sabonis would be suspended for Game 3 because he knowingly poked a bear.

You really should watch JJ Redick's comments on this matter.
