Discreet following the Warriors – Wolves meeting regarding the action of Draymond Green on Rudy Gobert – probably to avoid putting himself at odds with his team – Steve Kerr finally spoke, following the announcement of the sanction. And bluntly, he describes Green’s gesture as “inexcusable”.
The opposite would have been at best misleading, at worst completely scandalous. Steve Kerr didn’t hold back when talking regarding his power forward’s gesture once morest the Wolves. Recall of facts ? A Jaden McDaniels – Klay Thompson virulent confusion which turns into a general brawl, Rudy Gobert who tries to separate the two zozos and Draymond Green who takes the Frenchman in a chokehold for long seconds. A surreal action, because Green did not want to let go of the Minnesota pivot.
Five match suspensions and more than $700,000 in fines, that is the price for this attack. And a good dose of contempt on the part of the coach, who we guess is sincere rather than politically correct, in comments relayed by Marc J. Spears.
“Draymond went too far. This is a bad image given to the NBA. He must find a way not to cross the line, not to resort to physical violence. This is inexcusable.” –Steve Kerr
In addition to being punished with almost a million tickets, Draymond Green penalized his team, already deprived of Stephen Curry for a knee injury. The Warriors are five losses in a row and now have a negative record. Klay Thompson is (almost) good to go to China given his stats from the night once morest the Thunder. A very negative spiral and the absence of Dray doesn’t help anything. For players who wanted to be able to make one last shot before heading into the sun, the context might have been much better…
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Draymond Green went “too far” for choking Rudy Gobert for several seconds and it was a “bad look” for the NBA. Kerr added that Green “has to find a way to not cross the line… for a physical act of violence. That’s inexcusable.”
