    The media campaign has done its job.

    Are people on TV going to cry for two days about Sacramento getting a **** whistle?

    They will not. Warriors had favorable officiating for the first 2 games, just not the massive edge they’re used to

    League Pass International not showing halftime for Warriors-Kangz. Shameful. I bet they have Severo too

    edit: oh wait they are showing it on the Warriors stream. Some dude with a drum. ****ing hell where is Red Panda? WHERE ARE THE ******* HULA HOOPS SILAS?? I'd even take a frisbee catching dog at this stage.

    Doubt it.

    Man, I have to tell y'all, it was horrifying. My wife works over near the Worriers toilet-bowl-shaped stadium and I had to pick her up today after work and we saw SO many Worrier fans walking toward the stadium rocking their Green jerseys, like "oh yea for violence! we are snotty liberal pacifists but we love draymond green." **** them. I should have started just running them down in crosswalks -- god knows nobody in SF would issue a traffic citation.

    Come on now... Don't deny sports fans (or progressives) their pent up violent side. Plus Green is from Michigan - Worrier fans are just being against xenophobia by supporting him ;)

    (I got cited for being a hazard once, despite double parking being a regular practice where I'm at - I was shocked)

    Was expecting Sabonis to go apeshit with no Draymond. He struggles when the game speeds up and is played in the open court. Same for all the other nostalgic centers in the playoffs.

    Hoping Sengun is watching.

    JJ Reddick and Charles Barkley are the big sell-outs. They sure came to the rescue

    Wow, a somewhat reasonable take on Draymond from a SF Chronicle writer. I hope they have their flame suit handy.

    https://www.sfgate.com/warriors/article/draymond-green-suspension-excessive-17906420.php
    The Draymond Green Suspension is Excessive, But So Is Draymond Green

    (excerpt)
    It is absolutely impossible to view Draymond Green — or a Warriors organization that has calculated his juice is worth the occasional squeeze — as a victim here. That “history of unsportsmanlike acts” includes plenty that have gone unpunished. Though Green has long claimed that he gets a harsher whistle than the rest of the league, the reality is that he has pushed the refs further than nearly any other player and acted wounded when he occasionally crosses the line. In the very game he was ejected from, he hounded referee Courtney Kirkland up and down the court (after an admittedly terrible call that was quickly overturned), calling Kirkland “f—kin' awful” in plain sight. Maybe no one else would be suspended after their first flagrant-2, but not many would get away with that either. And as you might remember, Green punched Jordan Poole in the face, and Joe Lacob let him off with a stern “this is your fiftieth warning” because he didn't want Green to miss ring night.

    Some have complained that the Kings and Sabonis successfully baited Green with low-level, under-the-radar annoyances like jersey tugs and discreet elbows. If they did, then they learned their technique from the best.

    And the argument that Green is being punished for crimes he stopped committing years ago does not fly. Yes, his last and only playoff suspension came in 2016, when he somehow whacked opponents in the groin or “groin” three different times. But that same summer, the Warriors signed Kevin Durant. With obvious and notable exceptions, from 2017 to 2021, the Dubs were either cruising to titles with Durant or lost in the morass of semi-tanking. When the high-stakes, knife's-edge, taut playoff games came back last spring, Green's dirty plays and ejections did too.
