OT: Draymond Green suspended for Game 5
Green received a Flagrant 1 for cup checking LeBron after Lebron stepped over Green. Due to Green's accumulation of flagrant foul points in the playoffs, he will be automatically suspended for Game 5.
With or without considering Green's history, how does LeBron escape punishment since he instigated the whole thing by stepping over Green in the first place?
edit: James did get a technical, thanks 1201 S. Main St. for pointing that out.

They'll be lucky to get six.
If someone is a repeat offender should they not be penalized more harshly?
Green is just playing like Tom Izzo taught hiim to play: dirty. I think any time you hit or kick someone in the seeds it should be an automatic ejection and the next game off.
Maybe Green should listen to the professionals he has around him instead of playing Izzo-ball.
because of a bullshit 6th foul much different?
Is this REALLY why you hate the NBA?
Now that it has happened, the calibration of the point total that triggers the suspension will be examined. Is it too low? I don't know. But like the 6 foul limit, it was set beforehand without regard to specific players or teams.
Slaymen Groin accumulating three nutshots in two series is quite unusual. And it is not at all unusual in sports that the retailiation gets more heavily penalized than the instigation. Slaymen should have been playing with the awareness that a player with five fouls usually plays with.
Is stepping over someone against the rules? Is it better to step ON that person? I really don't understand why people are upset at Lebron. Draymond Green was on the floor. Lebron had to try to step over him in order to get back to the play. Draymond the Sag-nasty thug he is struck Lebron.
This. Lebron was just playing bball and stepped over a guy that fell. They were somewhat tangled, but Lebron did nothing more than aviod stepping on Green while trying to get back to the play. Green is the one that took it as being 'dissed', whatever the hell that BS is.
I only saw the replay, but this whole situation is enough to turn me off to the NBA again. Hadn't watched 10 seconds of NBA ball since the Pistons started sucking again (yeah, yeah - bandwagon!), and this is why. Green is a dirty player that plays hard; if he were a man he would recognize that others play as hard as he does.
Losing interest in the rest of the league when you know your team has no chance to sniff a championship is quite natural.
He lost his cool like a whiny bitch cuz he knows he's not winning this Finals so he throws Draymond on the ground and steps over him. Draymond gives him a little tap so what? That's what LePushoff gets for being a whiny prick. Say what you want about Draymond but LeBron is the bigger ass here. BTW did you see what he did to Steph on the out of bounds play? That itself should've gotten him kicked out of the game. Welp gotta make it a series somehow. Steph will drop 40 and GS will win without Green. Watch.

Sorry Cleveland can't beat em' Lebron. Maybe you should create another super team in the inferior conference of the East.
If Bill Laimbeer never punched anyone in the penis, it's pretty obvious that's off limits.

Actually I am only 26 but I am still probably older than you judging by your posts.
Oscar calls another poster "old man" and then later asks"What does age have anything to do with this?" SMH
He put his sack on Green's neck. Don't blame Draymond for hitting the whiny b**ch and I am not a Draymond fan.

Silver picking up where Stern left off.
He seemed like he would be a good commissioner but man, he's just as inept as the last.
Not suspending Green for kicking Steven Adams in the groin and then suspening him for the most minor incident he's been involved in is sickening.
