That was just stupid by Curry. No need for a heat check down 3 possessions

Yeah, I don't care how much you're hitting, that's a ridiculous, stupid shot, even if it goes in.

And this is why is the NBA should've kept their greasy, corrupt hands out of the game and stopped catering to their favorite star Lebron. They might have single-handedly turned this series around and given Cleveland the momentum to finish this due to their inconsistent rulings in order to appease their player king. This series should've been over with Draymond playing in game 5. But, hey, ratings and more games! 

Maybe Draymond should keep his hands and legs away from people's nuts and he wouldn't have to worry about being suspended.

Yeah, it's too much to ask the NBA to be consistent in their rulings. 

When's the last time you see two people scuffle like that and one is given a T and the other a flagrant? None that I can recall, because that's not how it works...

Gee, maybe it had something to do with one of the parties involved swiping at the other's nuts and the other party not doing the same?

The NBA should suspend people when they deserve it and not wait for some relatively minor incident to use as an excuse for a make up call

So the NBA should suspend people when they hit their flagrant foul point limit? You mean like Draymond did? Yeah, I agree.

Sorry, doesn't work that way, no matter how much you want it to since they beat your Thunder. 

Perhaps his nuts wouldn't have been in the way if he wouldn't have stepped over him. That's just him throwing his arms out just like he did when he was standing up, which is ALWAYS a technical not a flagrant in any other situation.

They needed to appease their boy while ensuring more games for more ratings. That or Lebron's groin matters more to them than Adams', which wouldn't surprise me either..

It doesn't matter if LeBron stepped over him, what kind of argument is that? You know [dang] well you're not allowed to retaliate. Draymond wouldn't have been allowed to punch LeBron in the face for stepping over him and he's not allowed to hit in the nuts for the same reason.

Hitting someone in the nuts is always a flagrant. Without exception. Check out every single example of a player hitting someone in the nuts in the last several season and they were given a flagrant, either in the game or retroactively.

[tarheelsxxiii]

GSW lives and dies by the 3 like anybody else. They happen to shoot is better than any one (possibly ever), but they're always going to be prone to this kind of variability... especially against a stout defense that is fighting for its life.

Man Barnes smh

I may be mistaken, but didn't someone hit Steven Adams in the nuts in the playoffs and not get a flagrant? I think I heard something about that

Of course.  And flagrants should be given for clearly deserving plays (say, kicking somebody in the nuts), but not on non-deserving plays just to make up for one that should have been given earlier

If Green hadn't earned a reputation for going after nuts in the playoffs, the league likely would've been willing to excuse that as inadvertent contact and just given him a tech.

If he had been suspended when he should have been, he wouldn't have been in a position to be suspended now

And the league wouldn't have felt the need to give a flagrant as a make up call.  There's no way Green deserved a worse punishment than Lebron

No, you're not allowed to retaliate. Thus why you get a technical foul just as fast as the person who initiated the contact would.

And Draymond was just reacting to the Queen stepping over him. If he wasn't stepping over him and trying to start crap, then his nuts wouldn't have been there. Therefore, yes, it does matter that he was stepping over him.

Draymond was reacting to the step-over and confrontation, so it should be what every other single player would receive in that situation - a technical along with Lebron. It was only a flagrant due to it being Draymond and Lebron's crying and prodding.

Oh, so now we are admitting that Green's situation was a factor.. Hmmm, yeah, they certainly had no ulterior motives in this situation

Green got a flagrant two for hitting Adams in the nuts.

[CelticSooner]

GS have become completely reliant on the 3 ball in the playoffs. Looks good when it's going in but if not they take a step back.

[GreenWarrior]

I've called this series from the start, from green getting suspended to a warrior player getting injured and ultimately a cavs championship. big money on this... c'mon cavs! I hate you, but if I get big money out of it, it aint so bad.
