“It’s just bad to be Draymond”

San Francisco – The chronometer could have been arrested with a minute to play in the second quarter Sunday evening, but Draymond Green and the Alperen Sengun Roquettes center went at full speed before a Inbound game played on the ground of the prosecution center during the defeat of 106-96 from Golden State.

Green leaned over Sengun, the Turkish star All-Etoiles by pushing in the center of the Warriors with his chest, then Green replied by pulling a elbow in the upper body of Sengun.

After the officials told Green to dismiss the physicity – and the veteran Grand argued loudly – the two returned directly to the Jostling.

“I’m not going to stop because the referee says to stop and abandon the position,” said Green. “I already give up six inches and 50 pounds.”

Sengun was not going to go back either.

“I think it was the time we won the match,” Sengun told Media. “I think they were trying to scare us to play softer, but even that, you just play harder after that.”

Green threw another left elbow at the neck of Sengun, a referee handed over to the Warriors veterinarian his 13th technical fault of the season, and the coach of the Warriors Steve Kerr had no problem with what happened after the Warriors (46-32) fell to sixth in the western classification.

“I love Draymond fire,” said Kerr. “This is a reason why we have four banners up there, and we would not have one without Draymond. So I like his fire and he was fighting there and that was not done in our direction.”

Green has a long story of physical play and faults of all kinds.

The future temple of fame and the current candidate of the defensive player of the year accumulated 163 technical faults, 18 flagrants and 20 ejections during his career, as well as two suspensions last season.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Green was called to a blatant fault when he led with ascent for the reference line, struck Sengun with the same left elbow and sent him to crash on the ground.

“With the blatant fault, I don’t know what to do,” said Green. “Don’t go up for a lay-up?”

Jimmy Butler agreed with the evaluation of his teammate.

“I saw a good bucket in my eyes. It just fears being sometimes Draymond,” said Butler. “Because it is him, he gets a blatant or an attack or whatever the case. It’s 23 for you. “

Buddy Hield, who marked a top of team 20 for Golden State, saw Green’s actions – which included a simulation of histrionics after failed free throws – as positive.

“Draymond is one of the ultimate competitors and all the times of the game,” said Hield. “He will bring it every night, and it is his work, to move us forward.”

Golden State is trying to start over Tuesday when the Warriors play Phoenix.

Warriors are not satisfied with an officer linked to Steph

Draymond Green was not the only warrior who, according to the team, obtained the end of the stick on Sunday evening. Jimmy Butler was incredulous that Curry – which was harassed by arugula wings like Amen Thompson during a night of shooting 1 in 10 – did not obtain other faults.

“I’m almost sure it has happened for 16 years,” said Butler. “I can see him and it really makes me angry that he is in my team and that he gets hacked like that.”

Curry did not criticize the officer, saying to the media after the match: “I have been for 16 years, you’ve seen everything. I never expect to receive calls, and I will never look for it. I try to play basketball and do every night, and fight by physique. If I have to say something, I’ll say something. “

Green added: “Referees, you know my point of view (on this).”

Give meaning to the Western classification

With the loss of Golden State, the seeds n ° 5 to eight – Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors, the Timberwolves and Memphis, in this order – are all 46-32.

Because none of these teams is the first in their division, the next equal break in the order of the order of the cumulative record of each team is against the other three teams according to the Elias sports office.

In these games, the Clippers are 6-3, Golden State is 6-4, Minnesota is 4-5 and Memphis is 3-6. Golden State welcomes Los Angeles in the final of the season on Sunday.
