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.
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.
Oh, so now we are admitting that Green's situation was a factor.. Hmmm, yeah, they certainly had no ulterior motives in this situation
"Now"? My entire argument from the very jump has been that Green's history of hitting people's nuts is exactly why he got suspended, so I'm missing your point. I've been extremely clear on that.
The only who should complain about Green is OKC IMO. The League gave Green way too many opportunities.
The funny thing about the OKC series is that it proves my point that the league only started calling flagrants on Green when he got a reputation for it.
He hit Adams in the nuts in Game 2 - no call or even league review.
He hit Adams in the nuts in Game 3 - OKC complains about it publicly, the league gives him a flagrant.
He hit LeBron in the nuts in Game 4 - the Cavs bring it up, the league takes his history into consideration and suspends him as a result of giving him another flagrant.
Green wasn't getting called for flagrants until he kept doing it and earned a reputation for it. In Game 2 of the conference finals, it was "inadvertent contact." By Game 4 of the Finals, it was viewed as malicious to some extent.
