    <p>Apparently Green is free to play, cleared of any wrong doing.</p>

    <p>Draymond Green's foul has been upgraded to a Flagrant Foul 2 and he will be fined, sources say. No suspension</p>

      <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>

                  <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>

                          <p>Meanwhile in that other conference final the Raptors have just won game 4 at home to level their series with the Cavs at 2-2.</p>

                            <p>One of the greatest turnarounds in playoffs I've seen. Raptors were absolutely cooked after the first two, but have somehow levelled the series.</p>

                            <p>Cavs should still win but they will have to work for it.</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>So far, so good for OKC.  They have scored the same amount of points in this half (72) as in game 3.</p>
