     I don’t know how many people that voiced their opinion about the Draymond Green kick on Steven Adams, but I’m going to state my opinion on the Draymond Green non-suspension. In my opinion I believe that Draymond Green should not be suspended because that we seen far worst things happen on the court that the player was only fined and we cannot know the intent when he kicked him. We just don’t know if it was deliberate or just an accident. 

    A lot of people will counter argue that he should get suspended because D Jones from the Cavs got suspended. I do not really see the logic or correlation in that case. We seen players do similar acts and got only a 25K fine. Serge Ibaka hit Blake Grffin in the sack and he only got fined, not suspended. Isaiah Thomas smacked/punched Dennis Schroeder in the face. Was Chris Paul suspended over his numerous low blows against players. We also seen numerous NBA players get away with nut punching/grabbing players and get fined. The point is that we seen numerous players that hit players in the private, punch people in the face and only get fined or less.

    Dwayne Wade, James Harden…suspensions.

    The adams foul is obvious, no need to sell it, you ain’t a jumpshooter and the ball is in Durant’s hands at the moment he kicked him, way too much delay…

    Like he said himself, he didn’t try to kick adams where he was kicked.

    Definitly tried to kick him on a non basketball play tho, you have to be naive or worse to believe the opposite.

    It’s not like we never saw draymond’s antics in his last 7 seasons either…

     I would’ve liked to see Green get suspended if only so it could send a message to guys to stop flopping. No normal shot involves a guy kicking his leg so high that he hits a dude in the junk. 

    What I dislike is the feeling that if Mo Speights had done it, it would’ve been a suspension. If Verajao would’ve done it, it would’ve been a suspension. I don’t know if that’s true but that’s the feeling I get and that’s the part I hate the most. I can live with a guy not getting suspended, but there’s no consistency and I dislike that a lot.

     Seriously what?!?! ChicagoCasey wow.

    I could see if you said it happens all the time, & the league is inconsistent, but sad we don’t see consistent justice, but to say dirty plays  have happened before so why suspend this guy is weak to me.

    I liken your logic to if a similar situation happens to a black vs white person and both are handled  different by law enforcement with the black person actually  facing jail time that ludacris. Either way something should happen differently, enforcing justice isn’t supposed to be on a maybe basis in the same situation with multiple people. It should be fair every time.

    You constantly say ignorant crap, just because justice in the nba is inconsistent,  and some  players haven’t got suspended is no reason the right justice can’t start now. Green had no business kicking that high, is just asking for trouble. It like when you at a bar and you have nowhere else to sit, then in walk someone who talks extra loud & uses their hands in a flailing motion when they talk, so nowhere else to sit . Then when they yell in your ear or worse hit you , you tell them to calm down before you slap them, whether they meant to isn’t the point it’s have self control, and consideration for others.

     Whack OP but on a side note…Draymond is stinking it up right now (again).

    Already 4 turnovers! 2 pts. -16 in 12 mins.

    Adams is in his head!

       This is better than a suspension. Playing a crap game is worse for the team than being suspended for it. Call it ‘natural justice’

     You can’t point to other bad things done by people who were not punished for it to say someone else doesn’t deserve punishment for doing something wrong and dangerous.

    D Green is someone who should have been harshly dealt with.  Same with Chris Paul.  Just because the NBA protects those players does not make it right.  Dahntay Jones is suspended for hitting a player once, Green hits someone twice and is still allowed to play.  Must be the definition of double standards.
