Will Draymond get suspended during the Wolves series?

Through 7 games Draymond already has four technical fouls and two flagrant fouls. A player receives a one-game suspension after their seventh playoff technical foul and after accumulating four flagrant points

With the Wolves up next and Green's best friend Gobert on their roster do you think he will earn a suspension?

I am going to put the over/under at 3 1/2 games.

I wish the poll had more options. I'd go with by game 7 if there is one.

I will change it.

Well guys, time to vote on the poll. 2 away, we may not get enough games for him to do it, but not looking good. So much for the BS 'tranquil Draymond' narrative, he did the same flail foul that's always a T or flagrant that he gets caught for every time now, and then flipped out and probably should have been tossed.

Sigh.

I wish for a time machine so Dray could experience few games in 80s and 90s. Maybe he would stop being that drama queen flailing hands or kicking legs around.

Warriors' Draymond Green on 'agenda' directed at him after technical foul during loss: 'I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous.'

Kerr needs to have someone set up a video to view right after a situation happens and MAKE Draymond go to the locker room to see it and say this is your fault before he goes back into the game. His upcoming suspension will cost GS a series and if this happens again, I'm good with Kerr demoting Draymond to backup and using a real big at center.

Imagine Curry coming back in this series, they get to game 7 and Draymond is suspended.

kerr has no idea how to manage Draymond. he just encourages him. he's scared of him.

At this rate? He'll reach the technical and/or flagrant suspension threshold in the game where the Twolves clinch the series, which I believe means the suspension would be served in the first game of next season. Just a nice reminder and a big FU to Curry going forward.

Sigh, two more years of this diminishing players crap.

A little off topic but I still cannot for the life of me determine what constitutes a technical and what constitutes a flagrant foul. Like I always thought slapping a guy across the head/face would automatically be a flagrant, yet Draymond several times this post-season has received technical fouls for those. Shouldn't these two foul types (and associated penalties and suspension schedules) be somehow combined so that any non-normal foul/infraction would fall into that category?

Draymond went about his whole career the wrong way. Given his nature, upon entering the League he should have gotten a diagnosis and prescription from some sketchy Canadian doctor. He could have been Draymond Green, the first NBA player with Tourette syndrome, uncontrollably prone to involuntary spasms. Kick Lebron in the balls? I got a doctor's note for that. Punch Jordan in the face? I got a doctor's note for that too. The League would have been forced to either (1) accommodate Draymond or (2) see him sue them and win a ton of money under the Americans with Disabilities Act (after which Draymond would have lived out the rest of his days beating up Mexican pool boys at a resort in Cabo).

I say he reaches suspension status in game 5, misses game 6 when Steph comes back and they are down 2-3, series over. That's my pessimistic take of the day. OK, I'll probably have more later.

If Kerr continues to experiment and icing his own players before Curry comes back, does it really matter?
