In that game, Green intentional landed a cheap shot with his foot to the groin of Thunder Forward Steven Adams. Green maintained that the contact was utterly inadvertent, arguing that he was merely flailing to call attention to Adams’ foul, as is the National Basketball Association custom.

Back to the basics, back to doing the little things that got the Warriors this far.
The incident occurred on Sunday, U.S. time, in game three of the NBA Western Conference Finals.
League MVP Steph Curry agreed with his coach. All we really want to talk about is Steven Adams. “Momentum can shift quickly in the playoffs”. The hefty fine seems like they were trying to punish him the most they could without actually keeping him from playing.
All season long, the Warriors have taken the best efforts from every opponent. He finished 1-for-9 with just six points on Sunday as Golden State were completely outplayed.
“They’re healthy, they’re whole and they are determined”, Kerr said Wednesday about the Thunder.
The Warriors shot 41 percent and committed 21 turnovers that led to 18 Thunder points.
Kerr isn’t about to put a percentage on his superstar’s health.
“Russell said I did it on objective?” So I don’t understand how that can be deemed a Flagrant 1.
“I would tell [Adams], ‘My bad”.
Losing Stephen Curry early in the National Basketball Association playoffs appeared to be a kick to the groin of the Golden State Warriors’ championship aspirations.
But he will not miss game four of the series, which is a big win for the Warriors as they look to avoid a dreaded 3-1 deficit. “He’s got a great pain threshold, and, again, he doesn’t retaliate”.
Before fans start flinging accusations that the league is rigging the finals in favor of the Warriors, there are some factors we need to consider. He is Golden State’s most versatile defender, a reliable third scorer and the team’s emotional leader. “That’s two times in the last two games”.
“During a game, players – at times – flail their legs in an attempt to draw a foul, but Green’s actions in this case warranted an additional penalty”. “We can’t put too much pressure on ourselves”. “Obviously we play well at home”. Hes just going to play, hes going to be himself, and well see what happens.. Green’s dirty hit came during a relatively close game, while Jones’ came in the closing seconds of a blowout loss.

“I was doing TV two years ago when Serge clocked Blake Griffin on an offensive rebound”, Kerr said.
