<p>That's BS. He was upset at being wrapped up by our boy one time too many and lashed out. Considering the league just suspended a Toronto player for a similar offence he should get a game off if they are consistent</p>

<p>All I'm saying is that his defence should be easy to refute/prove. He says he always kicks out his leg in those situations. Where's the video of it?</p> -
<p>From ESPN: Green's foul was upgraded from a flagrant foul 1 to a flagrant foul 2, with a $25,000 fine attached, but the league has decided not to issue a suspension.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The NBA was never going to suspend him, as they are hypocrites. But with the upgrade to flagrant foul 2, Green is much closer to an automatic suspension if he gets hit with another flagrant foul. If I was OKC I'd get someone like Collison to foul him hard and see how he reacts. :)</p> -
<p>Crucial, I heard Mulligan saying that kicking out when taking a shot is banned. So that excuse doesn't wash - pretty lame there was no ban but it seems NBA disciplinary decisions during play-offs are similar to SOO ones. But from what little I know it doesn't even sound like Green is that big a deal??</p>
-
<p>was listening to the radio before and a guy was on who's son played in a college thing in the US with Green a few years ago who was asking him about Adams, and apparently he said Adams was gonna be big and Green said he'd be 1 and done back then...so sounds like he hasn't been a fan for a while.</p>

He will need to watch himself now and I wonder how not being on the edge of the law will affect his performance

<p>One and done means that you only spend 1 year at college before declaring for the draft. If that is what he said, it was kinda a compliment.</p> -
<p>sorry, it was the son of the guy on the radio that said he'd do 1 and done, and Green was saying he wouldn't (will be on the on demand thing at probably 11-11.30 or so) I knew I'd stuff that up as they explained what it meant on the radio too

<p>I have thought about this, but I also think I dont understand the mental side of an elite athlete. The confidence/arrogance they have is off the chart.</p> -

<p>That makes more sense.</p> -
When DeRozan and Lowry play well they usually win, so no coincidence they came up big today and won. Biyombo has been unreal. That game 3 performance was off the charts - 26 rebounds including 8 offensive. <br><br><br>

<p>Game 4 underway. The ESPN live play by play is seriously awesome.</p>
