Green just kneed Adams in the groin and then yelled at him after making the layup. What a guy!
Yeah that Adams is a boy scout too. Monkeys and all.

Please - you hate Draymond Green. We get it.

Edit: and I will add that the knee to the groin was completely inadvertent. The yell was not.

I don't know how I would get up in the morning if I wasn't motivated by my all-consuming hatred for Draymond Green.

Adams called his teammates monkeys. I don't think Adams meant it in a racist manner. However you clearly don't know much about Green if you didn't expect him to use it against Adams. That's all that's going on here imho.

OKC could be in control of this game but they are getting killed by turnovers and sloppy play, kind of inexcusable considering the level of experience the team has. Westbrook has been a non-factor and they need him to at least match 80 percent of what Curry does.

Thompson is clearly frustrating Westbrook. Donovan needs to counter.

If Kanter is not going to score, he is absolutely lethal to OKC. And Ibaka disappeared tonight.

It seems like the refs are going to let a lot go in this series. This is good for OKC on defense, since it means they can hold Curry, but it's terrible for them on offense, as Westbrook won't get to the line if they let a lot of contact go.

This might be the worst series in NBA history. LeBron about to make his 7th NBA Finals.

Meanwhile Toronto has now lost eight straight quarters. The good news is that they have packed for the last time this season. Next stop, Toronto and then Kyle Lowry gets some much needed rest while Bismack Biyombo vacations in the South of France before getting paid.

15 boards in the first half for Bismack. Dude is going to make more than the GDP of the DRC in free agency.

Good god is this man gonna get paid this summer. Is this a true leap or a contract year effort? Hmmmm.....time will tell.
No way in hell would I want to be the team to find out. But amazing effort tonight. Almost out-rebounded Cavs' starting 5 by himself.

Here
Draymond HAS to get a Flagrant-2 here. Tossed plus one game suspension.

Under review.
I think the rest of this game would have been appropriate, but now they've put the pressure on the front office. It may depend on who wins this game whether he's playing in game 4.

C'mon guys, Draymond Green doesn't hit people in the nuts on purpose. You all just need to admit you all hate Draymond.

To hell with Green. Absolute clown. Guy gets away with way too much. Hopefully in this series or somewhere down the line he gets what's coming to him.

Bullshit there was intent from Green. James harden flails like that and worse 10+ times a game.
This is the fucking Scott Foster show. I put it at 6-0 close calls favouring OKC.

Second time he has done that same move to Adams this series. How many more times does he need to do it?

Not only was the Green play incredibly cheap but all it did was fire up OKC and its crowd even more.

I suspect this is aimed at me. I won't excuse that move but I think some of the other criticism of him is unwarranted.

The bottom line is if you are playing the Warriors he is the guy on their team who is easy to hate. But you would love him on your team.

Not tonight I wouldn't. Green got into his own head.

Thunder fan here. Lots of guys use the same move as Green. As Thunder blogger Royce Young pointed out,

Last thing I'll say about Green: Watch Russ when he flails for a call. He kicks his legs up just like that. Just hasn't balled anyone yet.

Green just has to avoid the groin in the future.
