    I didn't fully read this before my previous post. Now I'm not sure if you were being srs. If you weren't, my bad.

    Since when is looking for an edge that can be exploited in sports something to be compared to rape or murder? That's just old school gamesmanship. It's nothing new.

    I can't tell if all the gibberish you just wrote was sarcasm or not, but did you just really use a basketball player, pushing the boundaries of the rules while playing a game, as the basis for morality?

    Are all these people clammoring for Green to suffer bodily injury not immoral? Would Jesus wish such a thing on his enemy?

    Get a grip folks, it's only entertainment

    Honestly that was a no-call. They got tangled up and lost their balance. Green had one leg in the air when he spun around - that wasn't a take down.

    Green should have been suspended for the groin kick, but this play was a no-call.

    I want him to play. But instead of a decent nba player, I want him to suck the whole series. Then continue to suck his whole career. Then go broke.

    He could honestly be a good nfl lineman with the bs he pulls. Anyone on any other team would foul out or be ejected for what he does.

    I do not believe there is a conspiracy to get the warriors in the finals.

    I do believe Green is given more leeway. To me that was a really dangerous play by green (even more than the kicks in the groins). He really could have dislocated Adams shoulder or elbow. To me this was as dirty as the kicks in the groin.

    Draymond sold that DDT so well!

    I think he should be next year's Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant.

    Floppin' & kickin' & being a donkey everyday, that's the Draymond Green way.

    What a violent takedown. Kyrie should've been ejected.

    Geez Green makes an un-natural kick up again - and people make excuses for him.

    He is the new Bruce Bowen, dirtiest player in the league.

    Disgraceful.

    Does the league office even watch the games?

    NBA is an entertainment business, and Green is living up to the industry's standard.

    What an F'ing travesty. The league is protecting the Warriors like crazy. And I don't even care for Lebron or the Cavs. Green, in any other team gets his ass tossed and suspended thrice over but since it's the Warriors he gets away with WWE moves, looking like the Karate Kid out there throwing kicks everywhere.

    But seriously, what is with the kicking? I've never see a player kick up in the air so much as this guy.

    Bowen had a couple of famous flying kicks, and lots of shooters back defenders off with their feet on fadeaways, but this flailing high-kick business is just crazy.

    It's his natural motion. There's 150+ clips of him doing this before without injuring someone so it's okay.

    So he missed a lot when he was trying to hurt someone.

    Is there a view of Green actually hitting his head on the takedown play. The common angle doesn't appear so, at least not enough for him to make a big deal about it. I thought he played the refs knowing the replay would show a takedown so needed to appear injured himself

    Anyhoot, would love to see other angles of the play. tia

    And I'm with everyone on the kicks. Wtf. How does the league not see that he always does it.
