It was a rare sight to see James so emotional on the court, especially as play continued. During his postgame press conference he didn't explicitly say what Green said to him, but he told ESPN's Chris Broussard he was, in part, called the "b-word."

On The Bill Simmons Podcast, host Bill Simmons was talking with Jimmy Butler and said he heard a different story.

"I heard Draymond, I heard he didn't say the b-word. I heard it began with an F and ended with boy," Simmons said. "That's why I think LeBron took it so personally. I'm sure LeBron has been called the b-word before. He really got upset, his feelings got hurt. It's really hard to hurt LeBron's feelings. … Something happened."

Butler responded by saying he wasn't sure, but feels like there's a history between these two that provided an additional spark.

As for the suspension itself, the Cavaliers felt the NBA should have been more strict. On Zach Lowe's ESPN radio show he said the team was expecting an extra game.

"The Cavs wanted him suspended for two games," he said. "I can tell you that. They wanted it to be a flagrant 2 and to have him suspended for Game 5 and Game 6."

Green's return to the Golden State lineup will arguably be the biggest story line during Game 6 on Thursday night.
