I disagree with Bowen on this issue but I wouldn't lump him in with Draymond as a player. I respected Bowen just like I do other defensive specialist/enforcer types. Draymond has the ability to be in that category, but most of the other players who fit that profile don't play with the same entitled diva queen antics that he plays with.

all I meant was Bowen ninja kicked a dude in the face, so he sorta has to roll with the "incidental" argument on this one.
He sounded like a moron trying to defend it. "the first one was accidental, and the one later in the game was incidental."
uhhhh

Everyone knows what Bowen was. He was very good at what he did and he made the Spurs less soft. However, he's not exactly someone any intelligent person would look to to interpret the play last night!
quote:I didn't see Bowen's comments, but what a dumb thing to say. You don't have to be an athlete at that level to know that motion is not a natural one within a normal basketball play.
Bruce Bowen all over the TV this morning defending Green saying it was incidental and those who don't agree don't know what it's like to be an athlete at that level.
Bunch of bull****, but given Bowen's history, I guess that's the side he has to take
Every analyst I heard talking last night was carrying the water for Draymond Green - Kenny, Shaq, Charles, Reggie, etc.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
Green should be suspended at least one game for that kick. I'm now rooting for the warriors, but that was ridiculous. Plenty of other teams have had players (even good players) suspended during the playoffs, GSW should be no different.

I think Green gets away with more crap than anybody. He (and Bogut) are like the old Utah Jazz-at some point, the refs get fatigued for calling it.
I think Draymond is a dirty player. Last year when Conley had the broken face and was wearing the mask, Green hit him in the face when Conley was on the ground.
Wade was suspended a game, I think, for this:
Just part of his normal shooting motion...sure...
(I wonder how many people see Harden in his "defensive" stance there at the start and believe it is another no-effort Harden video)

anyone checked with Tony allen?
At least Green and co. got absolutely destroyed after that play.
He got 1 game for that, but this is my preferred version of the kick.
Clown teams
Westbrook may be telling the truth on not knowing how to flop.

His eyes are looking right at Adams crotch as he kicks.
That the most popular argument against suspending him are that he is a star or this is the playoffs is all you need to know about the decision behind this - and why he likely won't get suspended. And he won't be under further scrutiny in the next games - he just got confirmation he can get away with a lot.

If they don't suspend him, OKC should start Collison or Singler just to kick Green in the nuts until they get kicked out of the game.
Nice
No suspension according to Woj
Flagrant 2 and fine
The ratings for tomorrow's game will definitely go up because of this.
I hope Steven Adams gets a shot on Draymond's kiwis.
The precedent was set for suspension for a nut shot when a mav player lit up a spurs nuts
No suspension is a joke

What a ****ing joke. I can't believe I'm rooting this hard for the Thunderrefs.
it's cute you guys didn't see this coming. no chance they're putting the Golden Girls in jeopardy to go down 3-1.

Harden was suspended one game for kicking LeBron in the boys.
I think we all know what is going on here......Black Balls Matter. Plain and simple.
....it appears LeBron's acting has improved.

Oh, boy. Gimme a break. Officiating has been so one sided that it's not funny. Game1 & 3 were ridiculous. Game3 just looked better because they gave GSW some FTs after the game was over, when in reality it was 20+ for the Thunder when it mattered.
That said, the kick was just stupid.

Green's dumbassery contributed to 3 alone when he fouled Westbrook on his prayer 3.
Take your medicine and move on. You guys shot poorly game 3, that had more to do with the loss than the refs.
quote:I mean, those are all plays where he is moving with pace and generally off balance. Pretty standard then for your legs to kick out to stabilize.quote:I saw that too, but didn't post it, because I didn't want to support Draymond Green in any way.
Interesting
THis is standing still and kicking your leg forward after you look down in anger at the player..
