Green suspended for game 3

[pdxKingsFan]

I thought we talked about this pdx...

he's a very rich turd with probably multiple houses.

Hey you know where I stand on this issue. I just have to be careful where I step.

 

[Hillbilly]

I wouldn't have expected them to say anything else.

 

[sactowndog]

GOOD.

I didn’t think the NBA would suspend him. Good on them for actually taking action against his pathetic behavior.

I wish they hadn’t. I think we beat the W’s regardless and I don’t want to give those MFers an excuse.

 

[NewArena]

I hope Sabonis plays wtf? We don’t need anything screwing with our momentum smh

“Dub nation” would’ve had some excuse regardless.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We HAVE to win game 3. Lose and they are galvanized they did it without him. They get confidence heading into game 4 with him back in the lineup itching to get revenge

Agree - this actually puts pressure on us. This is a must win for us as much as it is them!!!

Draymond being considered the gritty heart of a championship dynasty while Dennis Rodman has somehow largely been relegated to wacky dumb guy whose repeated antics were a total distraction from the greatness of his teammates who totally didn’t need him anyways is so weird to me.

Both guys are among the greatest role players of all time and both guys engaged in more than their fair share of hijinks (although I don’t think any of Rodman’s antics ever wound up hurting his team as much as Draymond getting suspended for kicking Lebron in the balls during the 3-1 finals series did) but somehow Draymond largely gets a pass? Maybe it’s just the hair and sexual fluidity?

Dennis Rodman was a much better overall player than Green.

 

[NewArena]

The right decision but the players need to pretend they didn’t hear this. Nothing changes, same energy, same “appropriate amount of fear”. Don’t let this galvanize the Warriors.

Exactly. This is where i wanna see them reach within themselves and unlock another level. Prayerfully we’ll have Sabonis for game 3 and he’s resting up well right now

Kings say Domantas Sabonis has suffered a sternum contusion and is questionable for Game 3 vs. Warriors.

Hmm. "Just a step" right?

You will note that while Amick both named the perp and said "stomp", Shams is completely agnostic as to why Domas has a sternum contusion. We don't know! He might have bumped into a door last night getting up to go to the bathroom in the dark - WE JUST DON'T KNOW!

Honestly I’m not so sure about that. As bad as both guys are at scoring, Draymond is a ridiculously good passer

 

[PorchSurfin]

Sabonis questionable.

Dub nation about to start shopping for their next passport.

Amd an excellent wing defender.

Rodman was an underrated passer (though not as good as Green), but was a more versatile defender and a far superior rebounder.

 

[sactowndog]

I'll be bummed if Sabonis gets a rep because of this. But to be honest, I think most of the people were just very loud Dubs bandwagoners. Maybe they are repping their home team but not ready to throwaway their Warriors gear.

Sabonis already has a bit of a rep but F it.

 

[Fear the Putin]

I'm surprised. Not that I think he shouldn't have, but because I didn't think the NBA had the balls.

 

[Tetsujin]

He's also the only guy who's kicked someone in the balls and stomped someone's ribs in the playoffs so

What’s happened when a guy can’t just body slam Beasley, kick Adams in the groin, slap LeBron in the groin, kick Kyrie in the neck, kick Harden in the face, kick Herb Jones in the face without developing this “reputation for unsportsmanlike acts” the NBA talks about???

SMH🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

"Questionable" my butt.

Pure smoke.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

NBA put their foot down!!!

Criminally underrated.

Yea i don’t give a crap about any of that off the court mess. I just want our guys healthy and on the court. I swear if Draymond injured him to the point where he can’t play game 3, that piece of garbage needs to be suspended for the entire series.

 

[Tetsujin]

Vlade had a bit of a rep, so does Jokic. The only reason Arvydas didn't have as much of a rep was because he came into the league old and battered and his main victims were Shaq and Vlade. Embiid has a rep. Luka has a rep. Harden has a rep. Lebron has a rep.

Pretty much the only star players in the league who don't have reps are Giannis (everyone's favorite wide-eyed happy-go-lucky Greek friend) and De'Aaron Fox (slept on for so long but will probably have some dumbass controversy attached to him in a week or two at this rate)

 

[PorchSurfin]

Pure smoke.

I hope so. It's a chance to put our foot on their neck

I've wanted to compare Dray to Dennis but I just can't, maybe the Bad Boy Pistons? But he just has NONE of Dennis's charm or quirkiness. I know Dennis also had some mental health issues and reports from my dad's social circle were that he passed social diseases around like candy, but I never got the impression he was a hurtful guy.

I can see why this comparison is drawn - but Dennis Rodman is nothing like Drugmound IMO. Rodman has is quirks/issues - but he has good heart. He's a guy you want to root for. Drugmound I'd be reluctant to root for. I reject the notion that he's the type of guy "you love when he's on your team but hate on the other team". I'd be ashamed if he was on the Kings. Also - he's overrated, and past his prime. I wouldn't trade Kessler Edwards or anyone north of Kess on our roster for Drugmound Green.

They both play bigger than their listed height - but that's exactly where the comparison stops.

It is amazing to me that not one of his teammates or coaches thought to pull him off the chair.

Not only that but they egged him on and laughed (including some of the coaches). Bad look for warriors organization.

 

[Tetsujin]

Had Dray sat his ass on the bench with his head down, maybe went and checked on Sabonis, and then walked out looking even slightly contrite, he doesn't get suspended. That man played to the crowd like a Ravishing Rick Rude then stood on a chair to roar and bark at fans

Rodman was a troubled soul/weird guy. Draymond is just an asshat.
