The NBA dropped some huge news late Tuesday night when it announced that Golden State star Draymond Green will be suspended for Game 3 of the Warriors-Kings series for stomping on Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis late in Game 2.
While that punishment seems a bit harsh, it now leaves the defending NBA champs in quite a hole as they will try to avoid going down 0–3 in their first-round series with the Kings when they host Sacramento on Thursday night.
Charles Barkley shared his thoughts on the NBA’s decision and perfectly summed up what this whole thing is overshadowing—how the Kings are absolutely dominating the Warriors so far in this series.
"What really bothers me about this whole thing, to be honest with you, we're taking away from the fact that the Sacramento Kings are just kicking their ass."

Barkley nailed that.
You have to think the Kings can’t wait to get their chance to take a commanding lead over Steph Curry & Co. and show everyone that they can be a serious contender moving forward.
