according to an espn reporter, there has been some friction between irving and james on who should be "da man" in the 4th quarter...which is apparently why irving played so much iso ball in those 10 min...

green suspended for game 5
this significantly increases the cavs' chances of extending the series...

A bit of a joke that he wasn't suspended for the much worse hits, and gets suspended for reacting to Lebron literally walking over him. I guess that's one way to extend the series.

Good to see Commisioner LeBron doesn't pull any punches.

It's bull**** tbh. I was raging about Green throughout the OKC series and he absolutely should have been suspended... but Warriors were down 2-1 at the time so you couldn't have that. Now that they're up 3-1 it makes sense to suspend him as a make-up call? And the flagrant itself was a joke compared what he got away with in the last series. Lebron provoked him by pulling him down and stepping over him, and the attempted nutshot by Green was by far the mildest and most inadvertent looking in these playoffs.
As I've said before, Dray is a bitch and I have little sympathy for him, but this is just blatant from the league.

well ok, but the 4 flagrants rule was in place before this all happened so...

I think he was referring to the dubious validity of this one being judged a flagrant though...

Yeah the aggressive intent was there for sure although there was no significant physical contact but James is at least as much to blame for the situation I think...in any case let's see if their vaunted depth can compensate for Green's loss, they haven't really played without him this season (one game I think)...so this will be a big challenge for them...

I am not against this suspension, I just think...
...and he wasn't because the dubs were down 2-1.

Draymond is the most important player in the league in terms of how important he is to the way his team plays. I really don't think they can win without him in this game, people don't understand how amazing and versatile he is on defence.

james and irving in ominous form...for once iguodala looking ineffective in his defense of james...unless golden state tightens up on defense and stems the flow of turnovers in the 2nd half, i think cleveland will steal this game...the warriors are really missing green on both ends of the floor...
