Another game for the Warriors and another very dangerous move for Draymond Green. The interior continues and the referees don’t punish him, nor does the NBA. The fans are very angry with him.
The Warriors will be in the second round of the playoffs after their final victory over the Rockets on Sunday evening. A 103-89 victory for Steve Kerr’s men, with Stephen Curry invisible for a long time, before waking up late in the game to finish with 22 points. But the real hero was Buddy Hield with 33 points, who was hot at the best of times.
Opposite? Jalen Green will probably be mocked for his 8 points and his horrible streak. The young player still has a lot to learn, and the Rockets clearly need a real scorer. Enough to encourage the franchise to recruit this summer. We’ll remember his run-in with Draymond Green, especially as the inside man has again made his presence felt, in a bad way.
Draymond Green shows off again with a bad move
We remember his gesture on Rudy Gobert, or the one against Jusuf Nurkic, but nothing has changed for the Warriors’ interior, who continues with his very borderline gestures. He took a swing at a Rocket in the previous game, collecting a flagrant and he did it again this Sunday night. This time, it was Fred VanVleet who took a nasty blow.

If all players did this, the NBA would have a big problem, and thankfully it doesn’t. However, criticism was levelled at the inside player after this highly inappropriate gesture.
@Alatreon_osu : “How do people defend this guy?”
@ischitano53 : “He should be banned for life. This is not basketball.”
@PrideBuckeye : “Why does he always seem lost, as if he doesn’t know what he’s done?”
This is becoming a serious problem for Green, who is multiplying such gestures without any major sanction in his wake. More than a year ago, the NBA didn’t hesitate to suspend him indefinitely, but now seems to have given up. A choice that is the subject of much debate.
