Look at Kerr fist pumping Draymond after the play! If this was anyone else that's a flagrant two in today's NBA

It was reckless but It wasn't intentional/dirty.

His left hand was positioned with his fingers curled, like a rake. The position of his fingers makes it look more intentional than i first thought

I saw him pull a knife as well. Next game he'll be wearing Wolverine claws, so watch out.
Get a grip, fake news.

I don't think so, Green has had his share of dirty plays but this one is a stretch.

99.99% of players you give them the benefit of the doubt and say no.
Draymond is so far beyond getting the benefit of the doubt.

One of the many benefits small players have against big players. It wasn't intentional though.

Draymond often gets the benefit of the doubt from referees. I'm not sure why.
But ironically enough Draymond's lack of whistles may have cost the Warriors the championship in 2016. During their first round series against the Rockets Draymond shoved Michael Beasley in the back and threw him to the ground off the ball while the Rockets were running in transition, and the refs didn't notice. If Draymond had gotten the deserved technical foul for that play he would have received his automatic suspension for his 4th technical in the playoffs during the Western Conference finals against the Thunder instead of getting suspended for game 5 of the finals against Cleveland.
I believe that after the first automatic suspension it takes another 4 technical fouls for your second, meaning that Draymond would have been able to play in that game 5. A lot of people believe the Warriors would have won the series if he did.

Didn’t he do the same thing to LeBron and Harden? Guy has a history of cheap plays like this….the people defending him right now are probably the same ones who thought him kicking Steven Adams in the nads was unintentional too..

Green is always looking to hurt people so probably so. Green, Beverley, Morris twins, Grayson Allen, and a few others are dirty players that do try and hurt players.....

draymond needs to receive the beverly treatment. not saying what he does is intentional but the league needs to officiate these plays that can cause injury (taking out someone's legs, knees, contact w/ head and face etc) with consistency and with a heavy hand to discourage players that are either undisciplined or haphazard on defense.

I don't get how that wasn't a Flagrant 1. It was a clear slap to the face, intentional or not, that's pretty by rule an F1.

He did that to Lebron and Harden, this dude is reckless as hell, that honestly should be a flagrant 1. He's a dirty as player.
