I love Draymond Green. He was awesome on defense in that game.

All of you gnashing teeth over him would be over the moon for him if he were a Celtic.

We all loved the crap out of KG and he was dirtier and he talked crazy trash constantly.

Exactly. I want our own Draymond Green!!

Yeah and he also did some dirty crap that I didn't care for. There's not enough dirty players in today's game to justify any of the crap Green gets away with. NBA can't have it both ways.

Oh boy, we might not see Green on Monday after that, though that's just as much of a technical on Lebron for stepping over him, too.

Green will play.  They'll call a technical, but no flagrant.  He had room for one T without a suspension.  I don't agree with that, but the NBA has said groin shots from Green are okay all postseason, so why change now?

That video is also selectively edited. It left out the part before which clearly shows Lebron stepping on Green and the resulting end of the groin shot was just Green trying to get Lebron off of him. The NBA missed what should have been a technical on Lebron on that play.

Oh, I know.  I saw the entire play.  I was shocked LeBron wasn't given a technical.  I was surprised they didn't blow the whistle to stop play while it was going on.  But whether or not LeBron was the instigator, how many times can a guy be let off for groin shots?

Yeah, I can see where the other ones they would say there's no way to know intention, but it comes to a point after three times that it's just a little too obvious what's going on.

I don't really agree with suspending players, because it just punishes fans who pay to see them play. However, I'm on the fence on this one if it's intentional.

Oh, I would love him, and KG was just as dirty, if not dirtier, than Green. But, KG only really had the one instance that I can remember with the Frye groin tap. lol

It's absolutely hilarious to hear Lebron complain about the officiating. 

[GratefulCs]

Do they have scripts for post game interviews?


Wow

Apparently, Broussard said that Green called Lebron the "B word," so he was really upset...

Another source saying same thing: https://twitter.com/mcten/status/741504650541715456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Good Lord, how soft have we become as a society? SO WHAT? I heard (and spat out) worse in high school basketball and baseball games and pick-up ball. Didn't we all hear that type of stuff at least once a game caught on camera from KG in Boston - "Get that *** out of here!" lol

You're pretty mentally weak if being called the "B Word" throws you off your game that much. 

EDIT: He better never play video games online, because he wouldn't last a minute with some of those foul-mouthed kids on there.

Tyronn Lue on Lebron: "He never gets calls."

You can't make this stuff up.

If by dirtier you mean that he is the better player, then we agree.  Other than the Channing Frye thing, I've never seen KG kick someone in the nuts, let alone the same guy twice, nor has he ever judo flipped a player like Green did to Michael Beasley, etc., and all of that has happened in one postseason for Draymond.  Yikes.  Like Marcus Smart and Serena Williams, Draymond should have played football.  I get that he's a very good, albeit overrated, player, imo, but I couldn't stomach watching a guy like that on the Celtics.  Saying that people would love him if he were a Celtic is pretty much saying that the same fans would have loved Bill Laimbeer had he been a Celtic, as well.

Sidebar - I wonder if Dr. Dray played 'combat basketball' growing up, because if so, it would certainly explain a lot.

Right?  Those interviews were gold .

Did anyone else see on the post game show on NBA TV when Barkley said that Kyrie makes Kevin Love look like Dennis Rodman?  That was priceless .
