Warriors’ Draymond Green is back after missing in action
Warriors' Draymond Green is back after missing in action Draymond Green shouldn't have any trouble recognizing the man wearing No. 23 when he watches video of the Warriors' 120-111 victory in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals Thursday. At Thursday morning's shootaround, Green was asked what he saw on the video of the Warriors' two previous games — both blowout losses that put the Warriors in a 3-1 hole in the best-of-seven series. After blocking a Russell Westbrook layup off the backboard in the first half, Green let the Oklahoma City point guard know about it during the next two possessions. After being whistled for a second-half foul, Green's animated argument drew a technical foul. Green's soul-fueling intensity was absent in Games 3 and 4 at Oklahoma City, where he was seemingly overwhelmed by drama. Green had to wait for about 24 hours as the NBA decided to upgrade his penalty to a flagrant-2 foul, putting him one flagrant foul away from a mandatory one-game suspension. In Game 4, Green wasn't close to the All-Star he had been during the Warriors' record-setting regular season. "Draymond always blames himself when we lose," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said.
