These guys talk as if the fans of a franchise that had a championship stolen away from them in the biggest officiating scam in history are going to somehow care if Sabonis doesn't get called for a push in the back on a rebound here and there.
We witnessed Bibby's face foul Kobe's elbow and 17 years of awful one sided officiating while being dead last the last 3 years on the L2M report.
I'd say we're owed a hell of a lot more than a couple extra rebounds.

Domas is going to have to go into Game 3 playing like he starts the game with two fouls.
It's frustrating that for as long as I can remember coaches/players/fans/owners can whine through the media and have it affect calls in the next game, but that's the reality.
I won't be surprised if Sabonis fouls out, just like he shouldn't be surprised if he's whistled for things he got away with in games 1 & 2.
He's got to play smart and keep himself on the court if possible.

These dudes are battling in an old-school battle of the bigs rumble and prob both loving it. And credit where it's due Looney is prob winning it and he's limited Domas before. But it's not making Domas back down. This is a revival of a classic style of basketball that would make some certain old-school KF posters proud, and Warriors fans are losing their minds over it
I texted some buddies in the DC, Boston, and Dallas metro areas. Local fans and local media in all three are very pro Kings and pro the suspension. The anti-Kings stuff and Dray defenses seem to be isolated to the annoying Warriors bandwagon and some national guys. I told them I feel like the world has turned on the kings, and they tell me “not here.” Just interesting to always remember how close we are to SF, how loud the Dub bandwagon is, and how much stock can be put into a few national guys (like Redick).
Not that RealGM represents the population perfectly, but this poll (with 400+ votes) suggests that the vast majority of the country (~84%) was on board with suspending him at least 1 game: https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2282914
