Golden State Star Explodes Over Play in Lakers Suns Game

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of the series. Draymond Green got involved in the post-game conversation. The Golden State Warriors veteran wasn’t happy about it.

Anthony Davis went for a jumper and kicked out his leg. He hit Suns forward Jae Crowder in the groin.

Green delivered similar blows in the past. He took a lot of heat for these plays and most pundits say the blows were intentional. TNT announcer and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller went easy on AD.

“This is probably going to be a technical, because we saw Draymond Green a few years ago,” Miller said on the broadcast, per Yahoo Sports. “I think the foul will stick. But I think it will be a technical foul on Anthony Davis. It’s unintentional. It’s unintentional. But this is part of the new rules now to protect players.”

AD got a Flagrant 1 on the play. Green had beef with Miller for his comments on the situation and even recalled some of his criticism.

“So it’s unintentional now [Reggie Miller]? You referenced me as if mines was also unintentional? None of y’all said that during the time. Clarify your point? Would love to know….” Green wrote.

“Because if you’re saying mines was unintentional, there’s a lot of cowards that just went silent? And if you’re saying it’s intentional on my behalf but not here, then I shouldn’t have been referenced. Just curious.”

Steven Adams was on the receiving end on Green’s crotch blows. He talked about this during an appearance on the “Lowe Post” podcast.

“Ummmmm … (long pause) … that’s a tough one,” Adams said. “It is. That’s a tough one. Nah, nah, he didn’t. I think he wanted to flail — he intentionally wanted to flail — but I don’t think (he thought), ‘Let me just pinpoint, accurate, shin right into old mate’s crown jewels.’ I don’t think he thought that.

“I thought he was like, ‘Ah, there’s contact, flail, bang.’ Twice in the same series (laughing).”
