Bummer that Green wont be available for Game 5. I still think the Warriors can win that game without Green. They've done it without Curry and they can do it in this game especially with the home crowd. They would need a near perfect performance by the team, otherwise it will be another trip to Cleveland-that in itself should be incentive enough to close it out Monday night. Strength in numbers.
Maybe Green shouldn't have kicking and punching people in the nuts on a consistent basis for the past month or two. So how does this work past game 5? If the Cavs manage to force a game 7, and Green gets another flagrant or 2 technicals, is he out for game 7, or does the counter reset so to speak?
The past month or two is moot when you consider he didn't punch anyone this time around. And the contact that was made was initiated by James, not Green.
Either way the league's technical count restarts after a player is suspended. So Green won't be in jeopardy anymore.

Actually he did punch James in the balls. You can argue it's inadvertent, but to blame James when Green is the one punching people in the sack is pretty ridiculous.
Actually the Warriors won it in Cleveland last year. Unless you're making predictions about next year.
And this is the problem with C-D posters. James can't just be great. He has to be the greatest ever. The Warriors can't just be a great team. They have to be the greatest ever.
For whatever it's worth, I don't think anyone outside of California will ever believe this team is better than the Jordan Bulls anyway. The struggle against OKC says enough.
Lost a lot of respect for LeBron on this one. He initiated the situation and then lobbies for Green to get suspended. That reeks of BS. Anyone with a set of eyes can tell LeBron was trying o rile the Warriors up to get something like this to happen. Its an admission on his part that his team has no shot. Instead of just competing hard and letting the chips fall he resorts to this.
The refs have been letting a whole lot go in this series. There has been shoving, grabbing, and flailing arms all over the place. Now all of a sudden the league office wants to get invovled. If that's the case they better call game 5 super tight. This is a bad look on LeBron and the NBA.
Green brought it on himself. That's why the point system is there.
This is the NBA Finals... it is by any means necessary. If Green can't control himself, teams will look to take advantage of that. LBJ is not the first, or will not be the last to do this.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't care who won this series until I saw "trash" plays of Green. As an impartial sideliner, it is evident what he is doing. Shooey, these games might all have to be on cable channels if plays like those become "normal". Who would want their kid hit the same way or watch it done repeatedly on ABC? Not me.
I'm perfectly okay with the suspension. Lebron initiated the altercations with Green and Curry, and the upgrade to flagrant was probably a superstar call... but Green should have been suspended in the WCF, which could have resulted in OKC playing right now.
Honestly, I did not see the punch until now... Green has a radar lock on finding the privates.
