I agree with most of them (Charles and Shaq), a suspension is not necessary because first of all, it was Sabonis who initiated the wrong move. The Flagrant 2 should suffice as it did change the pace of the game.
A player cannot hold the foot of another player while he is on the run. That's dangerous. But they said NBA used the history of Draymond and most of it is bad. I have no idea how they judge this kind of action but I doubt it can be overturned.
Now, expect the Sacramento Kings to be the favorites in Game 3 even though it will be played in San Francisco. Worst case scenario, this will end in a sweep. I would love to see a +6 or +7 for the Warriors and I will definitely bet for it. They may have the worst record on the road but they have the best at home.
As a Golden State Fan, I was really frustrated about this Domantas Sabonis was really a jerk, and Mike Brown should have mentioned this at least but I think he is keeping a blind eye, I really think Draymond Green didn't really want to step on Sabonis but because Domantas Sabonis hold on to Green he was clearly out balanced then looking at the video Draymond Green was in jumping motion meaning he is evading Sabonis and many quoting that Domantas Sabonis is really a great actor that deserves an award but yeah as per Dryamond just said he just stump to hard and knee grabbing was OK,
Just surprised it took so long to make the decision based on the all the evidence and the video replay did show it was a clear foul and then the leg going downwards.
Many other players in that very same situation wouldn't make their leg kickout like this even to try and free themselves so it was a good call by the NBA.
Haven't watched the matches last night but it looks like YuginKadoya had a winning night so I might put something on the next round of matches.
I am still siding with the Warriors even without Draymond Green actually they are now playing at home and there is a huge possibility for a Warriors win this time, because if not this is really the end for their reign, but again there is a huge percentage that the Warriors could win this, playing at court advantage and they have done this in the past so I think they can surely do it again.
My answer to @danherbias07 about this in my final response about it since we will see them with Draymond and hopefully he has learned to calm himself if they manage to get a win without him in the line-up is:
This isn't the UFC so why would he think such a move would be appropriate in the NBA and not be any disciplinary taken against him?
@ralle14 Great win on the unders bet. Those NBA predictors thought both the losing teams last night were going to sweep against their opponents but they showed they still had some fight left to turn the tides in their favor.
