Draymond Green suspended for Game 5.

Apparently flailing your arm at someone who just stepped over you is way worse than sacking someone

Absolutely ridiculous suspension. I really hate when people say the NBA is fixed/rigged....but to give LeBron his way, just wow.

Iguodala gets sacked twice in two games, nothing.

LeBron was upgraded to a Flagrant as well. I still think the Warriors win, just won`t be another 33 point blow out

They just wanted a chance at a game 6, the NBA shows no shame.

I don't feel for Draymond, however.

Steph Curry's stank face at LeBron was the highlight of Game 4

I believe LeBron was given a technical, not a flagrant.

Listening to him whine about Draymond's words to him was really sad. Shows how much he's been catered to throughout his life, he can't handle being called a rhymes-with-ditch.

Right there with you Brock, dude got away with kicking Steven Adams in the groin during the OKC series, he got what he deserved.

Yep, he put himself in that position by getting 3 previous flagrants anyways, and as you pointed out, avoided suspension twice for hitting Adams in the balls. I'm always here for a good NBA conspiracy (and I'm sure $$$ came into play here for the league), but Green has nobody to blame but himself.

[Navin R Slavin]

[Brock Anton]

The NBA is so wet right now.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the fix i si n

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Warriors were playing an injured Cavs team last year.

Now the Warriors are the ones dealing with the injuries, and Bron mad.

Gonna be a hell of a game 7.

 

[JClaus33]

LeBron James

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

why in the world is ezeli on the court w 4 min left in a tie game 7?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

wow

theyre gonna do it

good for them, man

 

[HisIceness]

Cleveland finally wins a championship. Been a damn long time coming.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

It was a hell of a game 7.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

GS didn't score in the last....3 minutes? Crazy. All the talk of LeBron and Kyrie's offense, but no other team played Curry on D like they did. That was the most impressive thing they did as a team, to me anyway.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Remember when Cleveland fans were all like "maybe he'll come back one day"?

It was destined.

HYPE

Not to take anything away from the Cavs, but it's incredible how consistently lackadaisical Curry was with his passing throughout the finals. They got him off his game brilliantly with the switch-screens but he also showed far too little intensity and too much immaturity.

I'm not sure if you watched a lot of Warriors basketball this season (I did), but for a team that went 73-9 they were shockingly lackadaisical with the ball in the regular season. Of course, shooting 45% from 3 overcomes a lot of mistakes.

I think the Finals for Curry were a study in how in the playoffs, you can't be so loose with the ball. They played him unlike any other team, and he didn't adjust well. Which, the first time something happens to you, hey, I get the struggle. I certainly don't think less of him.

I probably only saw them a handful of time in the regular season and I've liked Curry starting with his Dad during his Hornet playing days. I don't think less of him because he didn't adjust, some of that is on Kerr and his teammates, but I was disappointed in his decision-making throughout. One glaring example was that absurd behind the back pass he attempted to make to Thompson at a key time late in the game. Not to mention the many ill-advised fouls.

On a side note, the NBA needs to clamp down on the refs' willingness to give star players (looking at you LeBron) endless air time to whine about calls.
