Draymond Green

TORONTO - The Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be focused on closing out the Toronto Raptors this evening on Canadian soil.

Head coach Tyronn Lue and his players had few words in advance of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. They know it's about action. The theme for tonight's game is that it's Game 7 in their minds. They're planning on Sunday being a practice day, rather than another bout at The Q.

They're visibly zoned in, but they're human. They can and do check out what's happening outside of their bubble. A video was brought to my attention upon entering the Cavaliers' locker room before shootaround on Friday.

It was a clip of Golden State forward Draymond Green nearly nailing a vertical standing split while attempting a baby hook over Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook during the fourth quarter of last night's Western Conference Finals.

Green flailed his right foot so high that he inadvertently kicked the 6-4 point guard near his chin.

When I showed the video to other players, their mouths dropped to the floor, including LeBron James. But there were no comments to follow. Each player just handed my phone back and shook his head in disbelief, except for J.R. Smith.

"[The league's] not going to do anything, though," he said.

Green is expected to be available for Game 6 in Oklahoma City.

Cavaliers guard Dahntay Jones was suspended one game without pay for striking Raptors center Bismack Biyombo below the belt late in Game 3. Jones was informed that the league voted unanimously that he purposely intended to hit Biyombo low.

The very next day in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Green, acclaimed as one of the league's most versatile player, kicked Oklahoma City Thunder big man Steven Adams in the groin while getting a shot off.

Based off the precedent that was set not even 24 hours earlier, it appeared Golden State would go into Game 4 shorthanded and without its emotional leader. Instead, the league upgraded Green's from a Flagrant 1 foul to a Flagrant 2 and issued him a $25,000 fine.

The Jones press release announcing the suspension was absent of quotes and an explanation. Green's, however, included quotes from Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations.

"After a thorough investigation that included review of all available video angles and interviews with the players involved and the officials working the game, we have determined that Green's foul was unnecessary and excessive and warranted the upgrade and fine," the statement read. "During a game, players -- at times -- flail their legs in an attempt to draw a foul, but Green's actions in this case warranted an additional penalty."

Jones is still miffed at the way his situation was handled. Earlier in the week James was asked for his take on Green being allowed to continue playing following the Adams kick.

"I have no opinion on it," he said. "[The league] didn't ask me my opinion on Dahntay's play, so they definitely don't want to hear my opinion on Draymond, so it doesn't matter."

Green has 3 flagrant points this postseason. His next one would automatically be a one-game suspension. He also has five playoff technical fouls. If he accumulates seven, a one-game suspension is imposed.
