Moustache and sleeve? Tick! Cute Steven Adams impersonator takes web by storm
One more flagrant foul or two more technicals and he’ll get a one-game suspension.
He had already delivered a pair of separate hits to the groin of Thunder center Steven Adams in Games 2 and 3, respectively. Some fans said that Green should have been punished by the league but agree that a fine is appropriate for his actions.
The Golden State Warriors understand better than anybody the unimpeachable value of the three-point shot, which is perhaps the centerpiece of the analytics movement in recent years. Green was fined $25,000 by the National Basketball Association on Monday and the foul was upgraded to a flagrant 2, but he was not suspended and will be in uniform when the defending champion Warriors try to even the series at 2-2.
The recently retired Laker seemed to be referring to a message he had written for Green on a pair of game-worn shoes earlier this season – “Make history”.
And as Green’s primary defender, Durant dissuades the Warriors from running their signature play, for fear that Durant will simply switch onto Curry should Green set a ball screen. “You’ve got to get to a place after each game – what happened in the game, what do we need to get better, what do we do well, what are some changes or adjustments we need to make – and then you’ve got to move into the next one”, Donovan said. For whatever reason, that version of Green was nowhere to be found in Game 3, and he got more and more frustrated as the game wore on, resulting in a snowball effect of lax play and bad decisions.
Warriors forward Draymond Green had two more instances in which his right leg went flailing into Thunder players in an attempt to draw a foul.
The Warriors now trail the Thunder 3-1 in the series and will look to defeat Oklahoma City at home in Game 5.
They say they do play pick-up games from time to time. The first kick connected with Kevin Durant to the left side of his body, the second caught Russell Westbrook in the face.
