For the second game in a row, Draymond Green either kneed or kicked Steven Adams in the balls with intent. Are you kidding me? Steve Kerr and Draymond Green both sounded foolish in their post game comments on the matter.
The league has a recent history of little tolerance for these type of crotch blows. Stu Jackson the former VP of Basketball Operations has already stated Green should be suspended. The ultimate decision will rest with Kiki Vandeweghe.
Draymond Green needs to sit a game. He’s teetering on punkdom. It’s one thing to take his boring act of Clubber Lang to the Western Conference Finals, it’s another thing to allow him to possibly injure an important player of the Warriors’ opponent.
But who knows? The Warriors are the darlings of the national media this season as they broke the ’95-’96 Bulls all-time record for wins in a regular season. You’d also think the league would want a Warriors-LeBron rematch in the Finals.
But here’s the thing, just the night before the league suspended Cleveland’s Dahntay Jones a game for administering a crotch shot to the Raptors’ Bismack Biyombo. As I wrote above, the league has been consistent in the past five seasons levying suspensions for these type of cheap shots—even against star players.
I don’t know how the league cannot suspend him without looking incredibly hypocritical.
Brazenly stupid play by Draymond Green who should have been rovering Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook instead of Steven Adams’ balls. Maybe he has a thing for tall New Zealanders with tied back hair.
I can’t say, but he should be sitting Game 4.
Complete agreement on that thug, and what cheap shots like this do to the game!
