Was just talking with a Dr about the Domantas Sabonis situation who pointed out that an X-Ray wouldn’t show a contusion. It would be diagnosed through physical exam, with the patient indicating tenderness & describing the pain. Do with that what you will. #dubnation – 2:54 PM

Couple thoughts listening to The Lowe Post:
-The Warriors grumbling about Sabonis’ physicality has to be parody.
-Are both Lowe and Spears really rationalizing Draymond stomping on this guy’s chest?
We all saw the video. Does this suspension really need to be explained? – 2:52 PM

I’m tired of the talk shows asking if Draymond should have been suspended. Of course he should have. What does the NBA look like if he wasn’t? Yes, Sabonis initiated things, but that’s basketball. If you know your opponent has a weakness, physical or emotional, you exploit it. – 1:40 PM

Draymond Green was wrong to stomp on Sabonis and he needs to stop the antics, but it is wild to me Draymond got the same punishment as Dillon Brooks for breaking Gary Payton II’s elbow in the Western semis, forcing him to miss a month. #dubnation – 12:55 AM
