Draymond Green was at it again against the Wolves, again for all the wrong reasons. He was the author of a nasty gesture, while he escaped a second technical foul without explanation. A treatment that raises questions.

Unfortunately for them, the Warriors failed to match the Timberwolves on Thursday night, all without the presence of Stephen Curry to boot. He has a hamstring injury and will be re-evaluated in a week’s time according to the franchise’s latest statement, meaning he could miss the rest of the series in the worst-case scenario.

A lot of frustration for the fans, and even more after the defeat on Thursday night. Minnesota quickly got the job done to take the lead in Game 2, with a final score of 117-93. The Dubs were outplayed, while Rudy Gobert and his partners benefited from Curry’s costly absence. Draymond Green, for his part, didn’t manage much.

Draymond Green pinned again for his gesture

To tell the truth, Green is still at the heart of the discussions, as he is closer than ever to an automatic suspension for too many technical fouls. During a foul by Naz Reid on Thursday, the player again took advantage of the situation to exaggerate his gesture and hit his opponent in the face. An absolutely lunar habit.

Green has already done it against the Rockets, or against Jusuf Nurkic and so many other players. Many are calling for additional sanctions, especially when you see his crack against the referee shortly afterwards.

Green already has a technical at this point and allows himself to speak to the official in this way. How can he not take a penalty for that when we know that referees give penalties to other players for much less than that? It’s a good question. It’s obvious that not everyone is treated the same.
