Dray did nothing wrong
Common sense prevails
Youād think the entire world is united in executing Draymond if you go on r/nba. Their hate echo chamber doesnāt allow them to be rational. Suspension was never happening. Toxic bums
cue the comeback
warriors played good defense.. wiggins was doing such a good job on fox at the start.. then the fking turnovers
Letās go!
Canāt wait to watch r/nba cry about this
r/nba is going to lose sleep over this..fcking dumbwits
LETS GOO! We have a chance now.
I never understood why heād be suspended anyway. He didnāt do enough to warrant that, he got the flagrant 2 and sabonis started it.
What did I tell yāall last night
Heās not getting suspended. The league wants a long series.
Also he was already punished during the game.
Hopefully we can channel the energy in the right way and get back in this series
Sabonis should get a fine for pulling Klay’s jersey and grabbing Dray’s ankle all in one play

Most players are on Draymond’s side and that pretty much explains it.
If weāre gonna be honest this is a pretty spineless reaction by Adam Silver, Draymond definitely deserved a one game suspension. Itās good for us that he didnāt get it, but fuck me did he deserve it. Oh well. Canāt do anything about it, letās just hope we can win the next game so we donāt get made fun of even more.
Now we need to make it count, win these next two at home and take it from there.
The folks over at r/nba are having an absolute meltdown. Itās kind of hilarious how much of a villain the Dubs are at this point. Will be funny if they come back and win
Vindicating. If that was viewed by the league as an intentional stomp, heād deserve whatever suspension they threw at him. But itās been clear since the broadcast that it wasnāt that so this is no surprise.
But it wasnāt that and this is about as close to an admission by the league as we are going to get.
/r/NBA nephews in shambles. God I want the warriors to knock the Kings out of the playoffs so bad just to see the meltdown.
Draymond lost benefit of the doubt over the course of his career. What he did in response to Sabonis was excessive. He was ejected and the Warriors lost the game.
My belief reviewing the video was that Draymond was legitimately entangled, realized too late where he was stepping, and tried not to put all his weight on Sabonis. It wasn’t targeted or malicious, but it was clumsy and we should expect pro athletes to do better than that.
People in shambles in r/nba
ThĆ© nba sub is about to be in shambles šššš
Yessir šš¾
Drama queens in /r/NBA are out in force
This whole thing has put a real stain on an exciting playoff series. Super disappointed.
sabonis should be suspended 1 game for this. crazy how he tried to take out draymond ankles on purpose and the league doesn’t bat an eye SMH
The tears in the NBA Reddit are so delicious. They really thought their outcry meant it was the obvious decision š¤£š¤£š¤£
letās see if draymond actually plays good now heās been ass so far. turn over machine and not doing much on offense
