Draymond Green Suspended For Game 3
Let's take a look at how this suspension affects the Warriors' odds of winning this series. PLUS: More NBA playoff drama and an NHL Player gets 75 stitches & returns to the game 😱
Draymond Green was suspended by the NBA without pay for one game after he stomped on Domantas Sabonis' chest during Monday's game between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. The NBA's decision has sparked various reactions on the internet, with some expressing their disapproval of Draymond and the Warriors, while others are criticizing the NBA's intervention.
Do you agree with the suspension? |
Green's suspension has lowered the spread from 7.5 points to 5.5 points in Game 3, and his absence is a cause for concern, given the team's record of 3-6 in the nine games he missed this season. The Warriors' success at home, with a record of 33-8 straight up this season, is on the line, and a loss would put them at risk of falling behind 3-0 in the series against the Kings.
To win without Green, the Warriors will need to step up their defense and rely on major production from their players. While there are no guarantees that the reigning champions will "flip the switch" and bounce back, they have a strong track record of success under head coach Steve Kerr after a playoff loss. In fact, since Kerr took over in the 2014-15 season, the Warriors have a 22-14 ATS record following a loss.
Thursday's game at Chase Center promises to be a close battle in an electric atmosphere, as the first two games of the series have shown. I predict the Warriors maintain this trend with Steph Curry stepping up huge in Game 3.
How Can You Try to Start Beef With Kawhi?!

Chris Paul seems to always have a problem with someone LMAO. Like how can you even try and have beef with someone like Kawhi Leonard? The dude is just there to play basketball with a laugh that my mind still can’t comprehend. You can tell Kawhi was just unbothered and CP3 thought he did something 😭.
Although the Clippers are probably the toughest first-round matchups the Suns could have asked for, I don’t see them or the Celtics losing a series in the playoffs. It is their year and the perfect bet to place RIGHT NOW is…
75 Stitches Didn’t Stop Him 🤯
The NHL Playoffs are an absolute must-watch this year, with a level of entertainment that is unparalleled. In my recent email blast, I discussed the action-packed NBA Playoffs, but it appears that the NHL Playoffs are even more exhilarating. These games are filled with intense passion and high-velocity gameplay, exemplified by the recent incident of a player getting stabbed in the face and receiving 75 stitches in the middle of a game.
To put this into perspective, Morgan Barron left the ice to get stitched up and then returned to the game. What the f*ck do they feed hockey players?! Paul Pierce sh*t his pants in a game and went out on a wheelchair, Morgan Barron sliced his face open and came back out to play the rest of the game. The resilience and toughness displayed by Barron and other NHL players is on another level.
What other sport can you fight and stab someone?! The NHL Playoffs are absolutely thrilling this year, and I confidently declare them as must-watch and must-bet on games for the rest of the playoffs. Every single matchup has been incredible, with a level of intensity and excitement that is unmatched. The fact that players like Barron can take such brutal injuries and still return to the ice is a testament to their unwavering dedication to the game.
