That was the expected decision. Hopefully they still upgrade it to a flagrant 2 and fine his ass, if for no other reason than to ridicule Kerr's nonsense.

How was it the same? A punch vs a kick in the act of flailing to get a foul call?
My main problem is the Dahntay Jones suspension. It shows massive favoritism.

Even if the two were comparable, which they aren't, do you really think Lebron or Kyrie would have gotten the suspension like Jones? It was done knowing he would have been on the bench regardless.

what does this mean for the future of dick kicking in this series

The meltdowns are absolutely incredible on r/NBA.

And that's a really poor argument against the NBA being inconsistent!
It means the refs will overact to anything else happening.

two reckless hits to the groin of an opponent. don't care that you're convinced draymond would never do such a thing, it looks bad for the league.

That's a reality any NBA fan has to accept.
If you watch basketball, you'd see that leading with your knee for a layup is not considered reckless in any way. The first one is a red herring just for the sake of saying "HE'S DONE IT TWICE!"

in which case he'd definitely get auto-suspended

Just like that the NBA legitimized flopping and flailing to get calls.
Good Job, Good Effort!!

someone remind me
was anyone currently posting partaking in the business of calling dellavedova a dirty player for equally reckless flailing around last may/june

true. but, dat Star Power gets him over the line.
well, this is a terrible day for NBA fans worldwide, our hearts go out to Adams nuts and the excellent precedent we now have for dick kicking.

It's still not an argument that helps your case against the person you quoted. In fact it pretty much proves the point.

Sure, plenty posters did, I remember one currently defending DG.
The flagrant 2 upgrade is still somewhat important.
With the flagrant 2 now if Draymond gets one more flagrant or technical foul for the rest of the playoffs he'll be suspended a game.
Someone correct me here if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the case. Gonna really have to control himself now.

SMH at Draymond not getting suspended. I hope OKC blow they ass out by 50 next game.

it has to be a flagrant of any type, techs are another thing iirc

How can the league justify that?

in any event i look forward to steven adams baiting draymond into yet another flagrant at some point in the next three games
i'm not talking about the knee, what are you going on about?
we were talking about the jones punch and the green kick. they were both reckless hits to the groin of an opponent, and it's hilarious that one gets a suspension and the other gets a flagrant 2 that won't force green to miss time.

Because they are desperate for a repeat of last seasons finals, OKC was just supposed to roll over for the almighty W's.

Like the officials would call it knowing that it'd trigger a suspension.

Is that why they had 30 FTs to 4 at half during game 3?
Ah okay. So he's still a few techs from a suspension.
CassidyIzABeast

NBA had this verdict before Game 3 was even over. They just had to wait to make it seem like they really deliberated.

I do think it's better this way. It's in the hands of the players as it should. Plus, DG got a break for the magnitude of the situation, which I can understand.
Back to Basketball. Hope the Cavs win today.

Just have some bench scrub kick him in the nuts, get ejected, and let's play.
No the reason for that is because your team played like shit and didn't earn any more than 4 FTs.

smart actually, there will be so many excuses if the Warriors lose this series and warriors fans would have used this as a #1 reason had he been suspended
eBay Huckster

could draymond green commit a dick-kicking so flagrant that even the NBA couldn't cover it up?
ur team played like crap bro. that's why.
also, one of your key players went full Ron Artest and kicked a dude in the nuts.

Again, all 3 were in the act of shooting, 1 motion and no force or aiming was involved. What DG did was 2 motions and he aimed it and put force behind it.

NBA undermining their own refs to avoid that suspension. There was like a 5 minute delay of action to get that flagrant call "right" last night. Nope, it was wrong.

Interesting that a elbow is pretty much an auto suspension, but groin kicks are not.
I have no side in this, its just interesting.
