kcluv2men:I felt draymond groin needed the suspension, its so silly when ppl bring up excuses saying lebron made the NBA suspended him, damn this isnt the first nt second not third but his forth flagrant foul of the post season, we call it NBA where professionals play and not thug. lebron isnt someone who let his temper get the best of him, what really got him mad wasnt caused draymond kicked his groin, he said something to lebron which he didnt like, but james acted like a man not to tell that to the public, he isnt a snitch, I liked him for that. The question you asked me, I cant answer that, caused he never did anything dirty, only if I give him a remark of being matured enough to end the drama real quick. |

lolawilliams:This post typifies being a fan of the stats and not what you can actually see. I guess this is why it seems you are always being hounded. First off, what Green did is deplorable. But considering the situation, anyone would have reacted the same way. Someone pushes you to the floor, then he attempts to walk over you and in the act his gonads lay just above your head. Green wasn't trying to go for the gonads. He went for the part of Lebron that was just in his view. I don't understand why people don't see that behind a man's back you can't refer to it as the groin. I heard even seasoned journalists use that word and I cringed. So let's save it. Green didn't hit Lebron there. If he made an attempt then the NBA should tell us when they started punishing players for making attempts. On the other hand, Lebron walked away after the incident without noticing he was hit. He needed to re-watch the tapes to know what Green did, which means either Lebron has no balls or that Green didn't touch him. I would let you decide which is which. As for Lebron reacting to being called a B-word or whatever. I don't even see how he can claim it riled him up or whatever. A gentleman who takes a high road should have told the Journalist that whatever was said by Green is no longer important now and he has moved on. Why did he start telling us about his family and being a grown man? That's actually snitching. So you should really stop coloring Lebron spectacular. As for the NBA, they made a total mess of things and this will keep feeding the conspiracy theories that say they wanted more games in the final than just 5. Whether I buy into it or not is immaterial now as the deed has been done. What is left to be decided is how often the NBA will go back to review decisions in retrospect to influence important games? Like Waiters elbowing Manu during the OKC vs SAS series. As for the flagrant Green has received, please people need to rewatch his clash with Beasly of The Rockets to decide if that qualifies for that. I could have been singing a different tune if he was suspended following the Steven Adams kick, but please, if you make an attempt to hit a player, the NBA will give you a flagrant for it? LOL |

Roland17:I balance watch that game again and tbvh LeBron and especially Kyrie made a lot of contested shots. It was ridiculous at a point. Warriors were missing open shots while the Cavs were making contested ones. It really didn't make any sense. When JVG says its a make or miss league last night's game encapsulates it Roland17:Lol the disrespect for the guys jumper was too much and the thing is even a broken clock is right twice a day. Iggy literally sagged off him twice and the net just became an ocean Roland17:This is where the Draymond suspension hurt the Warriors most, not just because he is their livewire defensively but because of his epic pick and roll chemistry with Steph the screens he sets and the matchup nightmare he is for other defenders. Plus them transition buckets which are a staple of their offense The Warriors should not overreact. The Cavs would be the ones playing with all the emotion they just have to play with poise. Championship poise. At times it is easier to close out a series on the road |

Eruditor:well I answered the question the way he asked it. my remarks to James reaction in the feud BTW him and green. when you say something ppl dnt go with, you'll surely get hounded. Did you called what draymond did an attempt?! cmon we all saw that clearly, and he never denied it tho he never said he did it too, he said one can't just step on him and walk away like that. that alone shows he did it when everybody is calling That groin, you're calling it gonads The groin consist consists of the adductor muscles of the hip or the groin muscles. So he got hit in the groin muscle or adductor muscle. Oyinbo that said green hit him in the groin knows what they saying, and if green hit him in the gonads, gonads is also a reproductive organ, why will a NBA player act like a thug and hit someone like that, smh You said lebron didn't noticed draymond hit him in the groin. He noticed he just didn't wanna start a drama cause the game was close to an end and they needed that comeback badly, how can someone hit you in the reproductive organ and u won't notice, the b-word he said was what sparked him. So when someone says how great his FAMily is, talk about his 3kids at home and all, you call that a snitch Holy sh!ttttt chaiThere are conspiracy theories in NBA, but what happened was fat from that, draynond groin got what he deserved, How can you hit a player in that gonads(reproductive organ) just as you said. He deserved the suspension But if you call it an attempt to hit a player, no problem then. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 12:14pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
lolawilliams:I watched the tape so many times. He didn't hit him. He made an attempt. If you think Lebron hasn't been called more than a b-word since even this 2016 P/Os began then you probably just started watching basketball. Why he chose to respond to that question is snitching FYI. There is really no need for the front and backs. Game 6 is around the corner. Let us see how quickly Karma responds. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 12:44pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
Eruditor:That's the only shot they have at Game 5. Only Kevin Love agreed what James was disrespectful and I don't know if that was why he James refused his Hand Shake when yesterday's match ended.. Most Cavs fans don't care about that so let me not make it my business. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 12:59pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:that isn't what happened they were discussing about a defensive possession not trying to hi-five each other. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 3:02pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
Eruditor:So did I tell you he hasnt been called more than a b_word before SmhHe never even told the public what draymond said but if you still call that snitching, no problem then |

| Re: The NBA Begins by kcluv2men(m): 5:17pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Well said but we all know green to be an aggressive player and i personally believe every player has different style of plays. Be it as it may, this is how the nba makes their cash. Trust me, media influence. Taking one small incident on court to the next level. |

NBA Updates Bogut out for the rest of Playoffs Bulls open to trade Derrick Rose J.R Smith declines player option and takes up Free agency Draymond calls himself "worst teammate" after Game 4 drama Craig Sager (God give him strength and good health) to cover Game 6 alongside Dorris Burke. Harden named "Shaqtin a fool" MVP LeBron: Cavs definitely needs Love to play better. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:09pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:I saw that. It is not so problematic for the warriors, especially with Green. SmooshCHN:Dude is talented no doubt, and very important for his team, but at times, he should just keep quiet. He is putting himself under pressure for no reason. Yes, He is of great importance for GSW, but to reduce the victory of the cavs to his absence, is gross stupidity. I personally believed, that with or without Green, the cavs would have taken that game, due to the performances of the duo LBJ - Irving, and the low output of Curry. But can the duo do it 2 consecutive games? Would Kevin Love, an otherwise brilliant player, up his game this time? Wait and see. Warriors have higher chances, but my Team is always, the Cavs! ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:52pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
LoJ:some comments make me cringe.. Gross stupidity to make bold statements but blowing up on court banter and getting your feelings hurt is honourable?? Something is definitely wrong from you. Even professional analyst didn't use the word "gross stupidity". Cavs didn't have a chance at home game 4 with complete guys showing up but suddenly chance when Bogut was out and Draymond suspended (top Defensive players on the team). Your totally wrong on every approach to the topic. Come up with something better about Cavs having a chance.. BTW it's less than 10 hours to the game |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:30pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:I think you read my comment with a biased mind. Before I move on, I am a fan of Lebron, but no hater of GSW. Only childish thinking believes it should be one OR (exclusive) the other. I am perfectly fine if the warriors wins the Finals. They deserve it (up to this point) and above all, I love good Basketball. Now to the topic, I said with or without Green, the Cavs would have taken THAT game (not the finals), PROVIDED James and Irving played this extraordinary basket with this unusual motivation AND Curry kept this low profile. It is a fact few would discuss. But there is a difference between winning a Game, and winning a Series, let alone the Finals. And I mentionned that in my Post. Concerning Bogut, YES, I think the Warriors remains well able to win Game 6, especially with Green. All in all, I don't get your point, but well again, you are entitled to your opinion about me. Cheers. |

LoJ:You're so quick to defense man. Read my comment with a neutral heart.. I had nothing against you or who you are you don't need to defend. I appreciate your respect to the game.. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by captainnigeria(m): 1:04am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Eruditor:an attempt to hit a player is an automatic flagrant 1. Its in the nba rules. If the refree spots it, it's an automatic ejection so green got what he deserved |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:27am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Time for the Dubs to end this. I have a feeling Steph is going to have a monster game today dropping 7 to 10 treys Draymond would be mad and channel that madness to fall just shy of a triple double Klay Thompson dropping 5 to 8 treys Iggy holding LeQueen to 43% or less They want another Championship ceremony on their floor? Let them have it its only going to be their 3rd one |

captainnigeria:Are you minding this people? Green just happens to kick people in the balls during this playoffs more times than the regular season ![]() Green is a dirty player. Shikena |

| Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 2:17am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Here we go again. Can Lebron And Irving force a game 7? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:19am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Harrison barnes needs to step up man, Wide open threes, and he is missing anyhow... |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 2:21am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Donlittle:Not just him man. The whole team needs to step up especially Curry. Need his dribbles to penetrate and create easy shots for others. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:28am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Manutd19:Harrison barnes chucking up open shot is terrible. You are right, whole team is terrible, but barnes needs to step up. He was a beast in college and high school for christ sake ![]() James with them dunks though |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 2:30am On Jun 17, 2016 |
Something is missing in this warriors. Not seeing enough energy |
