Green and Adams have engaged in a testy sequence of exchanges during this series and the Golden State forward also kneed the New Zealander in the groin during Game Two, prompting the Thunder center to say his opponent had “peaked with annoyingness” following the contest. He wouldn’t waste his time.

“I didn’t even think it was something we should be talking about”. Adams is one of my favorite players in the league, and the league needs to make sure that he’s not injured just because he plays hard. “Dion Waiters really got it going in this series, so we need to key him on him, too”.
“I said, ‘Scott, how am I getting a flagrant because my leg went in the air trying to follow through on a shot?’ He said, ‘Draymond, I’m not saying it’s intentional”. “I knew the league was going to let him play or upgrade him to a Flagrant 2”. “We’re used to going game, day off, game, day off”, coach Dwane Casey said.

During Monday morning’s shootaround, before the ruling was announced, Green said based on his in-game conversation with referee Scott Foster he doesn’t expect to be suspended.
