A brash, emotional leader, Warriors forward Draymond Green is at his best when playing the villain. Try to rein in his bravado, and you risk diminishing his greatness.
Therein lies the conundrum Golden State head coach Steve Kerr must navigate over the next two months: He wants Green to continue setting an emotional tone, but that won’t be possible if the three-time All Star isn’t allowed on the court.
Entering Saturday night’s game against San Antonio, Green leads the league with 14 technical fouls. NBA rules dictate that a player receives an automatic one-game suspension once he gets assessed his 16th technical foul of the season, with another one-game suspension for every two additional techs thereafter.
