Are you insinuating that there's a conspiracy by the NBA to prevent the Warriors from winning another title?

Yes because the nba would rig a series for the famously big market Kings over the Warriors who are a small market team who have not won the title 4 times in the last 8 years with the 2nd most popular player in the league only behind Lebron! The nba is rigged 😡 😡

It’s safe to say the fans of the dub nation were not pleased to get the news of Draymond’s unavailability for Game 3. Many even started accusing the NBA of being rigged. On the other hand, there were some who thought Green’s suspension from the third game of the series was valid as he deserves some kind of punishment for stomping on Sabonis.

Dumars is also super close to Draymond and was an early mentor. But you chose to amplify one over the other for a reason.

Pretty sad how a team with championship pedigree has such a loser mentality. Blaming opponents, blaming league officials, blaming refs, crying conspiracy. Came in the series already with low respect, next to zero now.
