San Francisco 49ers’ radio voice, Greg Papa, joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Thursday morning to talk about the Sacramento Kings – Golden State Warriors playoff series, Draymond Green’s suspension and more. Plus, is Draymond the most-hated basketball player in Sacramento?

All that & more on The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross.

“Jumping up on the bench, that’s where [Draymond got suspended]. If he just would have taken his medicine and said it was wrong. He just, you know, obviously the Warriors don’t have four championship rings if it’s not for Draymond Green. But he did cost them a fifth,” Papa said on the show. “The countless situations we hear about but don’t see in the closed sanctity of the Warriors’ locker room or practices. So it goes on and on. We just hoped that at some point in his life, he would mature and get the anger out of his game.”

Topics discussed include:

  • Greg Papa’s takeaways from the first two games of Kings-Warriors series
  • The timeline of Draymond Green over the years
  • Will Green be on the team next season?
  • How do the Warriors adjust in Game 3?
  • Is Kevon Looney the answer without Draymond available?
  • Can the Kings steal Game 3 on the road?
  • What will the vibes be at Chase Center Thursday?
