I would prefer that they don't suspend him. It's just another slap in the face.

Nah, it's an easy narrative for the NBA to play with. "Warriors can't beat Cavs without Green... balh blah blah"

Don't underestimate this Warriors squad. They play their best when the odds are against them.

So rigged. They want this to be a game 7

Did Delly get a Flagrant on his ball punch on Iggy in Game 1?

I'm confused. Did people not want Green suspended, or they wanted him suspended?

People just want to believe in conspiracy theories. They don't actually care about Green. They just want to believe that Adam Silver is rigging the NBA.

He should have been suspended after throwing Beasley, should have been suspended after nut kicking Adams.. but finally gets suspended cause he taps LeBron on his vag***

He should have been suspensed when he kicked Adams in the nutz. But he got suspensed for a love tap, that other players have done and not get suspensed.

NBA is RIGGED> GAME 7

If Silver truly wants a game 7, then he should also suspend Love for game 5.

Green has long been overdue for a suspension. The fact that the NBA picks and chooses when to enforce the rules whenever its convenient ruins their integrity.

It's worse because they suspended him to further the agenda that is selling tickets.

It's funny to me. The same people that think the "Corperate investor pigs" are taking to much of the pie are the same people that think it's totally insane that the NBA could offer a slight push in the direction of bigger ticket sales.

Bought season tickets for 11 years. Stopped in 2010, haven't spent a dime on anything NBA related since, except for play-off tickets. I imagine a large majority of the NBA's margin is made on people like me.

“I do think it’s curious how somebody who gets knocked out in the first round (of the playoffs), and who has been on vacation for seven weeks, is under the same penalty system as someone who is still playing in the Finals now,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “I’m not sure why that’s the case. It seems like a strange rule … That may be something to bring up in the offseason. It does seem a little strange.”

VanDeWeghe discussed his reasoning with USA TODAY Sports on Sunday.

Q: Kiki, how much did Draymond’s personal history with these kinds of situations come into play?

A: “Obviously that’s something that can factor in, given the next day (of deliberating). That’s one of the advantages we have over the referees, is we can look at a lot of comparables, we can look at the history, we can look at the investigator’s reports because we have professional investigators. It’s a long process. They talk to the players. They talk to the referees in the replay center. I talk to the referees in the replay center as well.

“Again, what’s important is that this was – you look at this play on a standalone basis – other things were going on in the game, obviously – but this was viewed as a Flagrant One on its own. It wasn’t that we suspended him, it was that it triggered the suspension. And so we have our rules and our point system is in place, everybody knows it. Draymond was on notice, certainly, and certainly after the last contact to the groin with Adams, so what’s important I think is to understand that this was one point, it was viewed as a Flagrant One, and you can’t make an exception. You have to do the right thing for the play.”

Q: Was it an option for you to potentially give him an technical as opposed to a flagrant (which would not have triggered a suspension)?

A: “There’s always options, but this – really when you looked at it – was certainly unnecessary. (He) made contact to the groin in a retaliatory fashion for the stepover. So I think this met all the criteria on a Flagrant One. And although we looked at all options, this was the one, I think, that was the right one.”

Q: On the Warriors’ side, what I’ve been hearing on their side is that the idea of a prominent player missing an NBA Finals game when he was reacting to another player’s moment of frustration, someone who was the instigator with his reaction during a loss, is tough to take. How heavily did that weigh on your mind?

A: “Well obviously it weighs on your mind. We’re all aware that these are important games. But Sam, it doesn’t mean you can make an exception. That’s why the point system is in place … and unfortunately it triggered a suspension. But again, because of where we are in the (playoffs), that weighs heavily on your mind.”

Q: If he doesn’t swing a second time, are we talking about this?

A: “Really, you look at the totality of the play. But it was really the first contact with the groin that triggered the Flagrant One. That was enough right there.”

Can't really look at it that way. The league was consistent in both instances by issuing a flagrant. Only difference is this one took him over the limit for a suspension.

Thank you for pointing out the reality of the situation. Conspiracy theorists on both sides are going to town.

Nice loaded question.

People wanted Green suspended in the OKC series, and they're still salty about it.
