    I think Green's importance to this team is really underrated. When he sucked in the OKC series they got destroyed in those games. He's the heart of that team, he's the dude who fired a them up in a huddle or by battling with the other team's best players in the post for boards and giving energy. They are going to miss him, and I say again the NBA may have just swung this series from 5 games to 7 with this nonsense suspension.

    The Warriors should still win. They have the best and third best player in this series. No doubt about that and their team is just better and deeper overall. Green is a very good player, but he's clearly not on a level that Steph or even Klay are on. They will miss him, but they should still win by double digits. This is just a mismatch.

    Antonio Davis Calls Out LeBron James For Being Soft and Complaining
    BY NBASOCIAL · 06/13/2016


    [​IMG]

    LeBron James is under heavy fire against the media these past three days as he tries to recover from his altercation with Draymond Green. Many NBA players and former NBA players have commented on the matter.

    Former NBA player Antonio Davis came out by saying that LeBron James was too soft and he needs to go beast mode instead of complain:



    “Even I want to call him that [bit**] too, stop complaining about not getting calls. Just run somebody over force them to make a call, if not then you are bit**”

    –Antonio Davis via ESPN Radio


    There has been so much heat on LeBron James these past few days. Do you think he deserves it? Let us know in the comments.

    I saw him interviewed on Russillo and Kanell today where he said this, it was great. They asked him if anyone trash talked that way back in his day, and if anyone would ever call MJ that. He said players talked trash back to MJ because you have to, like he'd say "F*** you" to him standing on the free throw line if MJ was trash talking, but that he would never have called him a b****, and that maybe only the Bad Boy Pistons were a team willing to go there.. Said that players feared Jordan and wouldn't give him extra motivation because he had the ability to make you his target for an entire game and embarrass you. He said players don't fear LeBron at all because he won't do that to you, and that's where the "I'd want to call him that too" stuff came in because he (like many others today) was saying how bad LeBron's effort in game 4 was. And we all know it was, despite a near triple double, he only took 16 shots, and added 6 points in garbage time.

    This was pretty much a given after the first wave of interviews with them, especially Klay and Speights...



    I'm expecting something like this tonight....





    This team is pissed and we might see the best all around team game from them all season.

    They're calling this game so close that even if someone breathes it's a foul.

    LeBron and Kyrie getting some easy shot and the J.R. has been able to cut to the basket as well as Thompson without Green there being a defensive presence.

    They're sending two guys at Curry every possession so he can't get going.

    LeBron only goes to the basket while Iggy is resting. Such a wuss.

    Withstand the early effort and then pull away later.

    Lebron just looks so lifeless. He has some good numbers but it just feels like stat stuffing to this point. Nothing about his body language looks inspired.

    Well, biggest positive for the Warriors is most of their players have shown up in the 1st quarter. Curry, Klay, and Iggy have come to play. Anyone's game, but if those finally have great games at the same time, they probably win. Bad news is, LeBron, Irving, and Smith have shown up too.

    Irving is on fire. 6 for 7. Of course LeBron will still have no help.
