NBA reporter for ESPN, Dave McMenamin, joined Cattles & Ramie Tuesday to talk about the Kings-Warriors playoff series, Draymond Green stomping Domantas Sabonis and how Sacramento is exposing Golden State. Plus, should Draymond have been suspended for his actions Monday?

All that & more on Cattles & Ramie.

“The goal is to have both teams at full strength so that you find a true winner. And if there was no move from Domantas Sabonis, to be the impetus for that move, then sure suspend him,” McMenamin said on the show. “You look at his past history of inappropriate non-basketball actions in playoff scenarios, and you say sure. But it’s pretty clear that Sabonis grabs his foot. And once you do that, all bets are off. I’m not saying it was a classy move by Draymond Green, but it also didn’t come out of nowhere.”

Topics discussed include:

  • Dave’s thoughts on the Draymond Green incident
  • What is the biggest surprise for Dave in the series?
  • Was the reaction warrant by Green?
  • How are the Kings exploiting the Warriors?
  • Is Mike Brown the key to the Kings’ success?
  • Are the Lakers in the driver seat to beat the Grizzlies?
  • Dave discusses the Heat-Bucks series
  • Does Kyrie Irving need the Dallas Mavericks?
