Foul and jump ball was called. Foul was upheld. He didn't complain.

What's the problem?

The problem, obviously, is the OP hates Draymond, so he makes a post no matter how silly it is.

Draymond is wild. Amazing that no one has flattened him yet.

He definitely took the crown after Heinsohn’s passing.

I don’t like Green’s antics, but this play was alright in my eyes.

OP: “Draymond must be stopped!”

Let’s not overplay Mr. Triple Single.

It was a "gentle" football tackle. not a basketball play.

Yeah. Gonna take somebody touching him unfortunately. He won’t learn the easy way and the league won’t show him. Only way left is the old school way.

We complain that players have gotten soft, but at the same time freak out anytime they do something that no one would have batten an eye at in the 90's. smh

So we can tackle players now?

This is what a real "this guy must be stopped" type of play looks like IMO

Maybe this was the hit that changed Harden forever?

He seems to be suffering from CTE.

They really need to expilicity state hugging someone from behind is not a jump ball, because way too many refs want to call it as such

The league decided years ago to give Draymond the ultimate leeway and benefit of the doubt as part of the moving screen and complaint circus that was the dubs (a team that talented would have adjusted and been successful either way). There's no way they can change those habits now.

Watch on YouTube

Yes, you're right. Folks, let's accept it (if you haven't already) - NBA turned into an 100% entertainment product and Draymond Green is its one of the most important cash cows. He's one of the reasons it can get such big TV deals. Whenever he does something stupid, it's gonna be on the national TV for hours, prime time. NBA wants Green to do stupid things. Again and again.

Mostly because it’s not an even playing field. He’s getting away with stuff that every other player gets penalised for and it’s constant.

You can have a physical game without doing the stupid **** that Draymond does. They're not mutually exclusive

It's almost as if he's baiting Dumars for another suspension. The next time, it'll be longer and only Green will have himself to blame. His deflecting rather than accepting responsibility for his actions, both past and present, is pretty telling. He's never going to grow the hell up and show genuine maturity. He's a dirty ass player and he's cemented that reputation all on his own.

That aside, while I think it was a bit excessive at the end, this seems somewhat alright. It is the responsibility of the referee to call a jump ball or foul earlier into the play.

No travel tho?

Pretty soft of the clippers not to respond, you can’t load balance protecting your teammate.

Fitz sucks sooooo much. He may be the biggest homer in the entire league, and the former one (Barnett) was actually worse somehow.

The fact that they are in actual contention for biggest homer announcers in the league, if you’ve ever heard a Raptors or Celtics game, is insane, and yet they manage to be the most insufferable guys out there.

Was it even Fitz? That definitely didn’t sound like the Warriors broadcast team
to me.

Someone on here implied I was over reacting calling draymond a thug and here we are - again

At least he made it past the first
