    Windhorst is a j******. He probably has a bungalow on LeBron's estate.

    Definitely tuning in tomorrow to First Take. I want to see Stephen A. lose his damn mind on air.

    I mean seriously Windhorst has made his career following LeBron like a lapdog for ESPN. What a life.

    I don't see it Weez. The Warriors are a better team even without Draymond and now they've got some serious motivation.

    Well, if there was any chance the GSW were going to come out tomorrow lazy or not with enough urgency because of a 3-1 series lead forget that now. As great as Green is and he will be missed tomorrow, this suspension is going to fuel Steph, Klay, and the rest of the group to end this thing tomorrow.

    I'm glad Draymond Green gets to celebrate with the team after the game, which I didn't think would be possibly because he cant be in the arena during the game. I read this from a tweet from Alex Kennedy.

    I don't want Dan Gilbert's shenanigans rewarded with a ring. Gs needs to handle business.

    Since Sterling sold flop city, Gilberthas now taken his spot as the biggest pos owner in the league. I wish him the worst.

    If Lebron is really the player people think is, he would have a monster impact game tomorrow.

    Ok, I'm bummed this happened because Lebronze initiated it by pulling Green down and acted like a punk by walking over Draymond. Still, the writing was on the wall that Green would get suspended this time because he didn't with his last Nutcracker Suite in the WCF against Adams. Bottom line, he escaped last time but the nut swipes caught up with him as this one was obviously deliberate. He should have kept a cooler head and he has to pay the price for that.

    With all that said I think it's kind of fitting and a bit funny that he called Lebronze what he did and that Lebronze had a freak out. I'm glad at least that Green got in his head, especially if he got stuck with the dumb suspension. As realdeal said, Green got the better of him through the end of that game and he didn't back down a bit. That was great to see.

    They'll miss Draymond for the next game, though. To me he's been the MVP of this Finals. Win won for the gipper on Monday GSW.

    Its alright, when the Warriors win tomorrow it will be even sweeter. Lebron has every excuse imaginable but it wont matter.

    This suspension might backfire, Warriors have all the motivation they need and home court to finish it. I expect big games from the splash bros and Barnes/Iggy/Bogut/etc to make Lebron's life a nightmare.

    The writing was on the wall that Green would get suspended. The NBA has catered to Lebron ever since ESPN made him the face of the league. When Lebron gave the press conference with the serious face and tone talking about "I got kids and you just don't go over the line like he did." Which, as Trodge or Barnes (I think) pointed out, made no sense at all to the context of the comment I knew the league would do something to Green. That being said, Green was a dumb*** for letting Bron goad him into it. The Cavs won game 3 because they were able to bully GS and get them off their game. Green allowed Bron to take control of that moment when he (green) knew the league was looking at him. Oddly the league didn't look at ANY of the Cavs plays from game 3 where there were so many cheapshots on Curry I thought it was the WWF (yup I'm old you can keep your "E").

    All that being said, I expect GS to blow the Cavs out tomorrow. They have added motivation to play seeing their boy get tossed out like that plus they have the whole "league loves Bron" angle too. You know Kerr is going to play that over and over and over again. I expect both Curry and Klay to have huge nights with King James sitting on the bench of the 4th quarter with at least 3 minutes to play. I also expect Lebron to look good early and end with a pretty nice stat line overall but not be much of an impact with a bunch of empty stats so people can say "Look Bron tried but no one else showed up.. he needs help."

    Hey, I started the LeB**** nickname a while ago, where's my credit. ;) But seriously, that's what he is, soft, whiny little b****. People talk about whether his game would have translated to other eras, and said at his size and athleticism it would. I don't think that's the right question though, I think it's "would his attitude translate to winning in other eras?". I don't think it would, he's a wuss and I think Magic, Bird, Thomas, and Jordan's teams would have eaten him alive for it, just to name a few.

    I still expect the Warriors to close the Cavs out tomorrow...they don't feel like going back to Cleveland.

    Green is good because of Curry and Thompson. I think they can easily move Iggy into the starting lineup and not miss a beat.

    NBA should suspend the Warriors and replace them with the Raptors in the Finals ...

    Draymond always was a Kobe fan and even talked ish about Lebron when he was in college and before :rofl::rofl:

    The s***ty thing is Draymond is in a lose lose situation. Either he isn't apart of the celebration or he has to return in Game 6 if the Cavaliers win. Nice going NBA.
