    Think that the announcers have been unreasonably fair though, letting Adams slide on his comments, and letting Green slide on his kick. So by that I mean fair to both sides. Think both were intentional acts. And think the media doesn't want either suspended because it takes away from the game so they've been walking a thin line. That said, both actions based on precedent are worthy of fines and suspension. Yet, I would agree, it impacts the game unfortunately when we all prefer it not.

    I really hope the league hand down a 1-2 game suspensions.

    Got to give props to Adams. Dude just play on as if nothing happened. Great altitude.

    Adams is just as dirty, Green doing what he gotta do.

    I agree....so if Green is not suspended for the next game, a proper nutshot will be delivered to Green promptly by an OKC scrub.

    BTW- I think your boy Green is nuts about nutshots....He seems to be drawn to Adams' Kiwis and can't help himself. Adams for the sakes of your future offsprings, please protect your precious kiwis and learn some counterstrikes against nutshots.

    Damn! I should have recorded this game. I love seeing GSW get blown out.

    Anyone have some sort of link or know if they'll replay it?

    I would prefer to just see him get fined instead of a suspension. Living in the Bay, I don't want to hear the Warrior fans say their team lost, because "x" player didn't play.

    Draymond does get away with more than any other player in the NBA. He's always taunting other players and yelling at the refs. I wouldn't care about that except it seems like any other player would be penalized for it far more often.

    nah, getting fines is nothing, these people make millions every year, it's like fining you for a quarter, would you feel anything? i'd rather him getting suspended and lose this championship after this heroic season, making themselves a laughter in the history of NBA

    If there's one fanbase that has lost any right to make that complaint, it's the Bay Area. Their title run last season was against the banged up Pelicans, the Grizzlies who had both Conley and Allen miss games, the Rockets who were without Bev and D-Mo and had Dwight playing with a partially torn MCL after the first quarter of Game 1, and the Cavs who were without Love and then Irving after the OT period of Game 1.

    Meanwhile, the Warriors had everyone but Speights available the entire way and even he only missed some of the Semifinals and WCF.

    I hope Draymond Green gets suspended and the Warriors lose the series. Green would blame himself the entire off-season for what happened.

    That would be awesome.

    Pivotal game coming up. Total pressure is on the Warriors. That historic regular season will be deemed a facking joke if they get bounced out of the playoffs.

    Misery indeed likes company. Lol

    Draymond should have got thrown out for that. Hope he gets suspended. The Warriors have zero chance without Draymond.

    No it won't. 73-9 will never be considered a joke.

    Would have been better off getting ejected for the remainder of that game and likely avoiding suspension. (Still could avoid suspension but...)

    I hope he doesn't. Let the Warriors go down at full strength. It's going to destroy that "dynasty" quickly.

    I'd expect a coach to back their player to a certain extent. If he passed it off as incidental, I'd understand.

    But to act offended and as if the Warriors were the victims was just overkill. Even incidental it's an easy flagrant one.

    It won't be considered a joke. But it will be considered meaningless. Does anyone care about Dallas' 67-15 record(or Dirk's MVP award) in 2007 after they got bounced in the first round? Or the Spurs' 67 win season after they just got eliminated by OKC?
