LeBron James-Draymond Green NBA Finals Fight Incited By This One Word

On Monday, Jackson recalled that series and said that LeBron James is in a similar situation heading into Game 3 on Wednesday.

Also, Green defends James and his absence would make life easier for Cleveland’s superstar playmaker, who averages 31.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists in games when his team is facing elimination. Green regularly appears in a video series on James’ multimedia site Uninterrupted.

After the game, James explained the confrontation and suggested Green said something that went over the line. I’m going to battle with whoever it is.

Lue was upset LeBron James took four free throws despite repeated drives to the basket.

Spears of The Undefeated passed along comments from Green, who exchanged verbal jabs with James after the fourth-quarter incident.

“Draymond just said something that I don’t agree with”, James said.

If the league decides to retroactively assess a flagrant-1, Green would miss Game 5 on Monday night since it would be his fourth flagrant point of the playoffs.

Referees handed Green a flagrant foul-1 but a league review upgraded the blow to a flagrant foul-2 and fined Green $25,000.

“If you don’t think we can win, don’t get on the plane”, Lue said, with admirable optimism, knowing that “daunting” doesn’t even begin to cover this task. “Put his cape on and say, “I’m going to have to take over a lot of this series, doing the things beyond my level or my normal capacity.’ He’s been a team player up until this point but I think he’s going to have to step beyond that”. “No matter what you do he is going to have a huge stat line”.

The talk didn’t matter, as the Warriors have all the momentum now despite the derailed freight train on the other side. And he doesn’t get a fair whistle all the time because of his strength and because of his power and guys bounce off of him. Those are still fouls and we weren’t able to get them. In Cleveland, the Warriors set a Finals record by making 17 three-pointers, with Stephen Curry nailing seven on his way to a game-high 38 points. One more technical foul or flagrant foul and Green will be suspended. “Here at home we shoot the ball a little bit better, we play with a little more energy thanks in part to our fans”.

Now, the Cavaliers will need to become the first team to dig out of a 3-1 deficit in the Finals (32 have tried and failed before them) if they want to claim the first title in franchise history. “We need to play with a sense of urgency and aggression”.
