The intensity went up a notch again in Game 2 between Warriors and Grizzlies, with several injuries to be deplored on the Golden State side. Hit in the eye and bloodied, Draymond Green was the author of a new crack which should cost him dearly!
It is necessary to believe that the band of Taylor Jenkins had not forgotten the flagrant and dangerous fault suffered by Brandon Clarke two days earlier. The Grizzlies landed in game 2 against the Warriors with the knife between their teeth, and it was very quickly observed during the meeting. Draymond Green In particular, he paid the price, he who had received a lot of criticism after his expulsion during Game 1.
Victim of an elbow, Draymond Green unpins
irritated by the aggression committed from the first minutes on one of his teammatesIt didn’t take long for Draymond to undergo similar treatment. In the fight with Xavier Tillman to recover a ball after a bad pass from Steph Curry, the big man of the Dubs ate his elbow, a priori involuntarily. Anyway, he had a hard time getting up after this violent blow!

With a bloody eye, Dray was forced to momentarily leave his partners to get checked, before resuming his place on the field at the start of the second quarter. Before that, he had to suffer the whistles of some FedExForum spectators on his return to the locker room. An attitude that he did not like at all, as evidenced by his middle fingers addressed to the crowd!

Aware that this gesture will not go unpunished, and that it should earn him a fine of several thousand dollars, Green nevertheless made it clear that he did not regret it at all in a press conference. Loud and clear :
When you boo someone who’s just been nudged in the eye and has a bloody face, you deserve to get middle fingers. I will accept the fine. But it was really nice to do that to them. I could have had a concussion. So if they want to be that bad, I can be bad too.
At war in Memphis, soldier Draymond Green will not have returned physically unscathed, and will therefore have made new enemies there. This promises a big animosity for the reunion during Game 5, in only one week!
