1. The game is already lost, find new objective
2. Target the key player that can't afford to pick up another flagrant
3. Target key player known for cheap shots to the nut area
4. Disrespect him by stepping over him, one of the worst acts on a basketball court
5. Snitch to the league

I knew if it got to a game 6 Warriors would be in trouble. I don't see Cavs losing game 6 now. One game at a time, just get it to a game 7 and consider that just 1 game to win it all.

I'm supposed to root for the Cleveland Cavericks but instead I find it very hard to do so.

Lebron is one of the worst teammates you can ever expect to play with tbh. Love should demand a trade and leave Lebald's Cavs with nothing more than a few expiring contracts & 2nd picks. But wait a minute, will the bald fag stay on board after losing the series (2 yrs in a row to the same team), will he opt out and join the Warriors next season for vet minimum just to win a few more rings before retiring?

Doubt Steve Kerr would want his bald ass though.

Meh, I thought you were a Mavaliers fan?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

also, I could see Draymond being dumb like arguing with the refs and getting tossed from game 6 if the Warriors start losing (which would also cost him game 7 due to having 7 technicals).

[Spurs9]

Lebron plays best when people think hes a villain. Hope Cavs win it tbh. The suspension wasn't about what Draymond may have said, the dude punched Lebron in the balls, how many times if Draymond expected to get away with the same thing? :lmao

[StrengthAndHonor]

also, I could see Draymond being dumb like arguing with the refs and getting tossed from game 6 if the Warriors start losing (which would also cost him game 7 due to having 7 technicals).
Yeah, I can see that. Green is a very emotional player.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yeah, I can see that. Green is a very emotional player.
And he acts/throws tantrums without any regard for the future. He's a hell of an athlete, but I don't think he has the mental capacity to do otherwise. He only knows one brand of attitude and that is tenacious. His zero to tantrum/acting out speed is next to nil.

For instance, if the Warriors suddenly go through a bad stretch where they're not making shots, they're not getting calls, it's early in the 4th quarter and the Cavs are on fire and have just opened up, say, an 11-point lead, Draymond arguably gets raked on one end but doesn't get the call, then on the other end in transition he gets called for a questionable foul I can see him going ballistic at the referees, careless about whether or not he gets ejected because his sub-consiousness simply can't put two and two together and understand that he might be costing his team the season (and the greatest chokejob in NBA Finals history) if he gets himself thrown out. The refs, understanding the situation, will likely only give him one technical, but what if he's already had another technical earlier in the game from, say, a brief pushing match or exchange of words with someone on the Cavs? Draymond has to be EXTREMELY careful but I don't think he has the capacity to be.

He needs to hope things go his way and his teammates' way for his own and the Warriors' overall sakes. I don't think the Warriors can recover from a game 7 home loss in the Finals (ESPECIALLY considering HCA) which would shatter all sorts of record books, not only being the first team to lose in the Finals after being up 3–1 but also the first team to lose a game 7 at home in the Finals since 1969, the first team to lose any series up 3–1 with HCA since 1995 (and only the 3rd in NBA history and second since the 1970s), the first team to win 65 or more games [let alone 70] and lose in the NBA Finals, the first 70-win team to not win a championship, the first team to lose in the NBA Finals having won 15 games or more than their opponent in the regular season... and many others we all could dig up.


Baggage wise, Draymond essentially is Rasheed's temper combined with Artest's nastiness and vengeance. Scary combo if you ask me.

Green already got away with it twice in the WCF, the NBA had to suspend him for a third hit that was obviously intentional.

Of course it was reactionary and it's the NBAs own damn fault. They've turned a blind eye all playoffs, but when he did it again to Lebron, they had to do something. The man took a blatant shot to his nuts. Was it a full force punch, no. But it was still a shot.

And sure Lebron stepped over him, but Lebron hasnt painted himself into a corner with countless nut shots all playoffs long. Green was on thin ice by his own doing, and still decided to take a swipe again at someone's jewels. Had he just gotten up and into Lebrons face, he wouldn't have been suspended.
