There are over 140 examples of green kicking the air on plays very similar. When no body was there.



Yep. It was not intentional

For an LSU fan, you seem to be ignoring a pretty big "justice" being doled out on an NFL field just this past year. It ain't just the MLB breaux.

The tweet in the other thread kind of shoots that theory down too. Draymond's feet touch the ground before and then he attempts to kick.

Like I said, he's just an opportunist, a dirty player. It doesn't have to define him. KG was a dirty player, and I'm sure most people fondly remember him.

Green kicks his leg out more than Reggie Miller.



Players kick/stick their leg out all the time on a jumper

This was not that IMO

Another stupid decision. 100% should have suspended. He's a proven jackass and wouldn't surprise me if the douchebag kicked another Thunder player in the dick next game. Another stupid decision.

I have no dog in the hunt and could care less if Green was suspended or not but my big thing is how do justify the Jones suspension in the Cavs game and not suspend a guy for the same offense. We are splitting hairs here if we say a flailing leg is different than a flailing arm. Let's be honest if Green was a scrub he'd be suspended. If I'm Jones I'm pissed.

Delly has been calm most of the year. Maybe because he's playing like an actual basketball player and going to get paid.

Or he's saving his fouls

I'd actually argue the opposite. Ratings will be thru the roof tomorrow night and rest of the series

Now was it the right or wrong decision? That's a different story

Which is exactly why the league has 0 credibility. The player should not matter in league discipline.

Horrible precedent the NBA sets here.. Everyone will remember this and compare every wild kick or elbow to it.

I said it last night, this shouldn't of been unexpected.

If you are a lesser player the league will come down hard in the playoffs, if you are a star they will carve out excuses to downplay.

As I said last night, SEE: JR Smith elbowing Terry. Flagrant 2, ejection. League held up the call, 1 game suspension. Dwayne Wade flying elbow on Stephenson one round later that year. no foul. League reviews, assesses flagrant 1, no suspension.

Or see Serge Ibaka punching Blake Griffin last year.
