Vegas has apparently made OKC a favorite to win game 4. Insider info from the league?

Steph would be fair game for me for the rest of the playoffs, every time he drives to the paint hard foul, after hard foul. Setting an iffy precedent.

No.

He should have been suspended, but never really thought they would do it.

This. Send a bench player in to beat him up.

If I am OKC, I'm kicking someone on every drive until a flagrant is called. I'm putting my foot in the landing zone of Steph and Klay every jump shot. You can't get suspended for it, and a few flagrant or techs would be worth it, if you ask me.

This is BS, NBA must have talked to Roger Goodell about the ruling.

NBA pretty much confirming that their players of their choosing will get special treatment. Did they at least upgrade it to a flagrant 2?

Yes. And a $25k fine. He's now 1 flagrant point away from a suspension.

LOL I don't know if that makes it worse. They pretty much are admitting he should have been ejected last night. Now instead he got 2 free throws and gets to play tomorrow. What a complete fucking joke.

Never understood rescinding or adding to flagrant/technical after the fact. ESPECIALLY adding to what was called.

I've thought the NBA to be an horribly biased organization since I was 12. Not surprised by this decision.

Hopefully everyone has their popcorn ready for Game 4 between OKC/GS. If OKC gets down, I expect a kick to Steph's groin from a bench warmer.

The league made a pretty big mistake in not suspending Green. That definitely has to be a suspension just to protect players.

I get KD is really good...but man, Westbrook is a freak of nature. He's by far the most explosive player going, possibly ever. Just watching him tonight has reminded me of this. Also, seems like he tends to disappear time to time in this offense with KD still being main focus majority of times. What kind of numbers would he put up if KD left or Westbrook left and was main focus.

But then Westbrook has moments like this to begin the 2nd half where he just takes terrible shots. Then doesn't hustle back.

Best player, best decision maker, most efficient.....no but he is my favorite player to watch. A bigger and longer Iverson type with an incredible aerobic capacity and fast twitch muscles for the ages.

If all of the NBA guys had a track meet he might win the 100m and the mile run.

And if they can hold on and Cavs don't avoid the laying of an egg....this could be their year
