Sure, Green has the bad reputation from prior incidents, and he shouldn't have swung at Lebron, but Lebron comes off looking like a punk for goading him in that way. He'll look like even more of a punk if they get eliminated tonight without Green even playing.
It looked to me like Green flopped and then Lebron stepped over him to stay in the play. Green has absolutely no room to complain about how people play against him. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. And if he doesn't want Lebron to rub his junk on his head than don't flop on the floor like an Italian soccer player.
Yes, because we all know that Lebron has never flopped before.
The NBA got what they wanted, the series is going at least 6 games and has a chance to go 7 games now. And now even players wives get to criticize Lebron's whining. Seth Curry's wive's tweet was funny.

LeBron was crying for a foul last night when the replay showed that he hit HIMSELF in the face with the ball.

Yes Lebron is a whining baby who frequently flops and no I don't think Green should have been suspended for what happened in that instance.
I didn't see Curry's wife's tweet. Was she mocking Lebron too? That would be ironic since Seth is a pretty accomplished whiner in his own right.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm
MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.
It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.
Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

Yes, Steph, thanks.
She was mocking Lebron after he said he's taken the high road his whole career and he wasn't going to comment on what the Warriors were saying, especially Klay Thompson's comment that "Lebron must have gotten his feelings hurt". Her tweet was "High Road. invisible bridge used to step over said person when open floor is available left to right.". Good stuff right there.

It's always about the ratings, then and now.
Exactly. There was no foul called on the play itself. Should have just been a double tech on both Bron and Green. But it would have taken two techs for Green to be suspended. Just a tech would have allowed him to play in Game 5. So boom boom Flagrant 1.

Yup, the NBA isn't really run much differently than pro wrestling. All efforts were to try to get a Game 7 on Sunday night on Father's Day. Assuming Cleveland wins at home then mission accomplished. Management bonuses for the guys in the league offices for figuring out a way to carry Lebron to a game 7. Ratings!

And WITHOUT causing Green to get a tech so he'll miss Game 7.
I quit watching the NBA years ago but watched a few games of this series because Curry is the single most skilled basketball player I have ever seen and it's not even close.
The way Cleveland beat on him with no calls and then up 3-1 the NBA suspend Green for something LeBitch James did was the last game I watched I knew it was over

You didn't watch the series then
The way Klay Thompson beat the hell out of Kyrie Irving every time he was about to get beat was just shameful
Curry is 150lbs on a good day, of course it looks like he gets beat up. A strong breeze beats him up
I know James had great stats. Irving made the winning pressure shot, and was the key to Cleveland winning this year. The other factor was Green's nut cracking changed the momentum of the series.

He did have a hell of a game tho, 32 points, 15 boards, and 9 assists is nothing to sneeze at.

LBJ's block on Iguodala with 1:50 left shows how much of all around great player he is and his hustle. Definitely needed Irving but NBA has shown you can't win it all with only 1 great player and Irving stepped up this time. GS players did not.
Exciting but not well played game. Cleveland shot 40.2% while GS shot 38.6%. That would have put them last in the NBA for the regular season.

For anyone who does not know, DSU is talking about Green who was the only person on GS to step up in Game 7

Yes, he did step it up, but the flood gates had opened.

He really only stepped up in the first half
At half he had
22 points (5-6 on 3s and finished 6-8 so he went 1-2 in the second half)
6 rebounds
5 assists
That means the second half he had
10 points
3 assists
9 rebounds
He had 6 of those 11 in the third - 3 free throws and his only other 3. over half of his second half rebounds were after GS scored their last bucket and Cleveland went to full prevent fast break rebounding mode.
He's the reason the game was close because of his first half, but like everyone else on the team he disappeared when it mattered.

Cavs finish no better than 4th (maybe as low as 6th) in the west.
