MW: Hey, I meant no disrespect leaving Klay off the list of stars. We know he’s good when he’s on, but he really hasn’t been on much in this postseason. One of the big topics of discussion from last year’s epic series was the one-game suspension of Draymond Green. The NBA Finals gets intense. Does Draymond find himself watching an Oakland Athletics game again when he should be playing in The Finals?

DC: No.

WL: Only if he gets in a full-on brawl with Kyrie Irving over who thinks the earth is flatter.

PS: Draymond will not get suspended! He is going to be locked in like a drug-sniffing dog, sniffing out all the problems the Cavs offense will attempt to put onto the Warriors. No one remembers The Finals last year in worse light than Draymond does. For that reason, I don’t think his foot will be finding anyone’s nether regions anytime soon.

BF: Draymond will NOT get suspended. He knows the importance of winning this series and hopefully* knows he needs to be on the floor for the Warriors to have the best chance to win.

DB: I don’t think Draymond Green will get suspended this series, buuuuut it is Draymond, so there is always a chance. If we do see Draymond suspended again, what do you think the over/under is for people screaming bloody murder that the NBA is rigged?
