Might not have been an intentional nut shot, but was clearly unnecessary contact.

I saw it upon rewatching after your first post.  I just think it warrants a flagrant much less than the OKC no-call.

My biggest issue overall is that Draymond was allowed to play vs OKC when the contact was more egregious, imo, and him playing would help the NBA create a better series.  Against the Cavs and up 3-1, he is penalized when it could hurt GS and create a better series.  I don't think he is suspended if the series is 2-2 and I think the NBA is keeping a finger on the scales to their benefit.

The GSW play was arguably basketball.  Kicking your leg to draw a foul call has been around for a long time.  The Cleveland play was a punch.

I know that he wasn't suspended for the Lebron shot alone.  Didn't realize how they changed the punishment in the OKC game.

Still don't think the Cavs thing was anywhere close to a punch.

It's impossible to argue that it was any sort of basketball play.  That's the difference.

and it still was regarded by the league as a lesser foul than the Steven Adams play.

Rather than a punch, I'd probably describe it as a backhanded nut-flick.

Sure, what it wasn't was an arguable inadvertent follow-through to a shot or steal attempt or something.  Lebron baited him and Draymond took it.  I think it all got handled appropriately.

Lebron absolutely baited him and maybe I am giving Draymond too much leeway for that.

Regardless of all of it, I think the Warriors win tonight.

Yeah, and I hope there's a camera with and on Draymond both for however he's watching the game and however he gets into the arena at the buzzer to party.

He's supposedly watching the game in a suite at an A's game across the parking lot.

Also, very lame of the A's to not adjust their game time tonight.

They've never changed a game time for the playoffs as far as I can tell and there's a good chance they'll have a decent turnout because of people wanting to be close to the warriors.

Plus attendance at A's + attendance at warriors will still be less than a Raider game.

I mean you'd have to send in Mosgov or Jones to tempt Green into something stupid, right? But, probably not worth the terrible +/- if they get stuck on the floor between free throws or TOs.

Celebrating two years in a row in Cleveland would be pretty funny.

Kyrie was impressive.  At some point before long, Lebron needs to adjust for Kyrie to be the #1 option on offense

Or Love.  Seems if the Cavs can get rid of Love OR Green, they're good.

Cavs winning the series down 3-1 would really be something.
