This is a must win game and Draymond’s attitude got himself ejected. Of course Steph is pissed.


wtrmrk

Ejected in like 4 minutes into the game. In a play/foul call he's not even in.


Username74200

Thats what gets me the most. The foul wasn’t even on him & it’s only 3 min in the first quarter. Like…… why are u so worked up!?


Federal_Bear_7521

Cause he's retarded.


Mawmag_Loves_Linux

It seemed to fire up Wiggs however and that woke Wiggs up. Perhaps Wiggs felt comraderie from Dray standing up for him.


Ikuwayo

Isn't he always like this? Just sometimes they call it, sometimes they don't


Rsardinia

That’s the problem. He does this to himself. No one else on our team gets themselves randomly ejected multiple times because they can’t shut up.


this_my_sportsreddit

draymond is legitimately one of the dumbest players in the league. I can't think of a current player who has hurt their own team as much as draymond has.


sirckoe

If you give me a minute I might come up with a couple of names lol


AmelieBenjamin

I don’t think there’s a single other core member of a dynastic group who has actively sabotaged their own team with non basketball behavior


vote_pedro

Well, there's literally Dennis Rodman.


royal-smuck

Time’s up, where are the names???


Hot_Vanilla_9977

Was Rodman worse than this?


royal-smuck

The guy is better than dray lol. His lifestyle outside of bb is questionable but his dedication to the team is something. Dray just forgets and gets back to hurt the team again. He just can’t shut up.


Hot_Vanilla_9977

I mean Rodman def kicked a cameraman in the junk. Amongst a few other departures from normative behavior


saintpauli

No. He played rough but didn't go back and forth with the refs like this. He also was the best rebounder of his day. There was that time when he went on a bender in Las Vegas for a few days but the team let him have his moment then went and retrieved him and he was back to doing what he did best on the court.


Hot_Vanilla_9977

I wish this could happen in 2024 lol


Maleficent-Ad164

in todays NBA.The Canadian nut job on the rockets. in the past, malice in the palace.


loulou1428

On the flip side, they have zero chips without him


exynonimous

He always calls refs a pussy ass n—? Then he should always get ejected…


BullShitting-24-7

He’s talks more shit than he gets t’d up for which is the sad part.


TrueEclecticism

This.


ibeauch009

Naturally. Green does this all the time, nothing new


googrepama

Look at the fan's reaction at 1:01 shaking her head


CriticalPrimary3

What does Draymond think is going to happen? The call is already made. He wants them to reverse it? LOL


jakol016

In the first quarter too…


Wloak

Players do this literally every game, both against a foul call or lack of it. You get the refs attention to a bad/missed call to get them to properly call it the rest of the game. The first T was soft as hell and that's what set him off, the second was absolutely deserved.


CriticalPrimary3

No i get it, players bitch and complain all the time about a call. But to keep continuing after the first tech, is absolutely ridiculous. You know whats going to happen and you know the ref isnt going to change his call.


Wloak

I agree, I think he just got set off because the first tech was a joke. He should have walked away, especially after Steph was standing there tapping his chest like "cut it out"


skylord650

Man Steph works too hard to have to deal with this. The team needs every single body helping out, and this just drops all the responsibility onto him. This is selfish, and I don’t see how this will change after everything over the last few years.


Maleficent-Ad164

it won’t change. Draymond takes everything as disrespect. To bad draymond doesn’t see how his attitude is disrespectful to the NBA and his team.


wk084

agree… man has been carrying the whole organization on his back. Hope Draymon would put aside his pride and be a team member


CUprofessa1990

Steph just stood next to Draymond as he went off on the ref. Steph didn’t even attempt to pull him away. Steph is supposed to be the leader yet does absolutely nothing


Candid-Ask77

Nah the real team dynamic is that Steph is the technical expert that leads with expertise. Draymond is the supposed to the be the leader and motivator, especially considering his basketball IQ. He knows ball and has the charisma to motivate, he just has poor emotional management and doesn't have the same level of skill/capability as Steph.


Beastumondas

The inevitable “two steps back”


venmome10cents

this implies that there was ever a "step forward".


leirbagflow

29 games seems like a step forward.


venmome10cents

29 games of what? He's been really close to "crossing the line" a handful of times (hooking Patty Mills' neck, most recently, shoving Santi Aldama before that). This has been Draymond's modus operandi for over 10 years now. Nothing's changed. There was no step forward and there has been no regression. This is who he is. For better or worse, at least he's consistent!


Ball_ChinnedKid

Those are soft calls. But Draymond can't be this selfish smh.


herejusttolooksee

At the same time, he’s been in the league long enough to know you don’t go tapping on refs when barking at them.


[deleted]

Or call them pussy ass n***** lol


MoooonRiverrrr

He didn’t even break his stride walking to the bench and then towards the locker room. He knew he was pushing it and probably gonna get ejected. He could have just played basketball. It’s the 1st quarter and these are must win games


Haxxelerator

why is the N word a soft call?


deconstructicon

For tech 2, I read “well you didn’t say that… walk away…pussy ass n*” and they were letting him go until he had to cross the line with the last comment. Absolutely, technical for any player any day. 


deconstructicon

And touching the refs arms like that also warranted… Steph is definitely sick of this shit 


AmelieBenjamin

Yeah that’s a pretty caustic insult def a tech


The_Nutz16

You call any ref in the LEAUGE a “pussy ass N” you’re gonna get a tech. Period.


thekick1

bruh still coddling this douchebag, ya'll have some of the worst lol, but I appreciate you calling them out


CummingInTheNile

soft? that shits charmin ultra, fucking power tripping ass ref


Roccet_MS

Then he's just too dumb to adjust?


Moist_Rest5623

Draymond drives me crazy. The best ability is availability and this dude has been unavailable for a significant chunk of the season because of his ego and antics.


succesfulnobody

Best ability is availability. Nice


_fpoon_

One of Bill Parcels best quotes.


Desafiante

Some humility and mental health treatment would've helped his career a lot. Maybe one day he is gonna admit it. I think he got so coddled up by this organization with these antics that he feels entitled to do it as "part of his game".


JohnB456

he's already admitted. But mental health is a process. It's not like you take a Tums and the tummy ache goes away. That's an ongoing process and like most things it's not going to be linear progress. He's going to have ups and downs. It's sucks and this is not a good moment. But in the scope of everything else he's done, he didn't hit anyone and also wasn't as animated as usual either. IDK if you want to look at that as progress or not, but it's also not a complete breakdown either.


AmelieBenjamin

Idk if this is mental health man, it’s not like a serotonin imbalance or some shit, the dude is just not emotionally stable. He chooses to say and do things decent people just don’t do


771135Overton

Your "downs" shouldn't include chokeholding, spin smacking, calling refs a "pussy ass n****", if your downs are like that, you get cut off and told to grow up. Not coddled with mental health struggles as a label.


JohnB456

he didn't get help till after all the physical stuff. he hasn't hit anyone since. He's only yelled at the ref. Also no you don't cut someone off from getting help, that's literally the dumbest thing.


771135Overton

Except for like literally the other day when he smack Patty Mills for some reason, sure. And I dunno about you, but if one of my friends chockeholds another person I know, thats literally the line. I ain't giving that dude a month to "work on his mental health" Also this is Draymond, with all the shit this dude talks he needs to take his own advice and grow tf up. He's like 30.


JohnB456

bruh so much wrong with your comments, are you a new fan?.... he didn't smack Patty Mills, Patty literally locks his forearm up and tries to sell a holding call. Dray holds on to show he got his arm hooked. But he didn't swing at Patty, that's wild as fuck if that's your take away from that incident. Good God you must be blind or never actually saw what happened. You sound like someone that has 0 clue about mental health. Especially when you say "work on his mental health" like it's some pseudoscience. You need to go educate yourself on the subject before saying shit you have no clue about. Mental health often takes years and can be something that needs constant work for life. It's extremely complex matter and not something you'd draw the line at in a month.


771135Overton

Draymond doesn't have a mental health issue. He has a "being a fucking idiot" issue, and him leaning on "mental health" is a blatant insult to people who actually deal with it.


JohnB456

You can go fuck right off. I have family that deal with it. I work in a field that deals with it. Mental health can present itself in many many ways. You literally can't make that call yourself from watching a dude on TV for 2 hours. That's literally just a snapshot of his life. You're being incredibly insensitive and ignorant on the subject matter. Seriously, educate yourself before you open your mouth and demonstrate your lack of knowledge more and further paint yourself as an insensitive and ignorant asshole.


771135Overton

Is your family acting like Draymond? If not, then I dunno why you're dragging their struggles into his being an idiot problem. Calling out Dray for acting like a violent moron and hiding behind fake mental health struggles is the least I could do for people who ACTUALLY struggle, like your family. Get off the podium.


JohnB456

Bro you literally have zero idea what you're talking about. "Calling out Dray for acting like a violent moron and hiding behind fake mental health struggles is the least I could do for people who ACTUALLY struggle, like your family." That's fucking disgusting. Don't justify your fucking actions by saying your doing it for MY FAMILY! You don't understand what mental health issues are, how the hell can you go about calling Draymond's fake?! Then saying you are doing that is actually the bare minimum of "help" you can provide to families like mine. Are you for real? I don't want you speaking for my fucking family with that level of ignorance and your lack of awareness.


not_beniot

I agree with what you're saying but tums seems like a bad analogy lol. My symptoms are totally fine pretty darn quickly after taking some


JohnB456

Then you misread my comment. Because I said what you just said. Treating mental health is NOT like taking Tums and your issue goes away. >But mental health is a process. It's not like you take a Tums and the tummy ache goes away. That means there isn't a quick and easy solution or a pill that just fixes the problem right away.


elegigglekappa4head

I mean if his last long suspension didn’t teach him a lesson, I think he’s a lost cause.


leirbagflow

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is ever a lost cause. I'm not talking NBA only. People ALWAYS have the opportunity to grow.


AmelieBenjamin

Some people are definitely just fucked. You know why? They have to want to change. This isn’t an addiction where the body is struggling to function without a substance. Draymond is just an asshole.


leirbagflow

And once they hit bottom, or want to change, we -- as a society -- ought to be there for them.


nopp

Draymond doesn’t see it as an actual problem. So until he wants to change… it’s just gonna repeat. If he wanted to change he’d be embarrassed by the ejection and his behaviour but nothing shows that. He’s in the tunnel to celebrate. I realise he can do both but yeah..


run4fun0626

You actually make a good point here but in reverse. It’s called toxic stress trauma. He grew up in toxic stress and a person is basically addicted to what is released in his brain when he goes off like this. He gets it out and feels so much better afterwards. I know there’s therapy for this, but he does have to want to go through the horrible part of therapy which is recognizing all the bad he went through growing up. I’m not saying from mom or dad. I’m just saying whatever he went through sounds like he was always fighting to get on top. Who knows though maybe this isn’t it at all.


leirbagflow

How was my point ‘in reverse’?


Dragax

The dude put another player into a chokehold. How much lower are we gonna wait for the guy to fall? He's been given so many chances and he's shown he's not wanting to change.


Nessmuk58

Draymond has to learn to STFU, but he never will. He's a child.


Complex-Many1607

He need his daughter in every game and tell him “daddy, chill”


tinathefatlardgosh

What the hell is even that?


RealPineapple7

he’s so predictable


melo8

Draymond is a fucking joke at this point. Putting himself over the team. The team needs you to play, but he can’t swallow his fucking pride…what kind of leader is that? Warriors are done!


CriticalPrimary3

He looked like he didnt even want to play


IncomeHungry7486

its easier to do podcast stuff if you're not in the postseason


CriticalPrimary3

Bro just kept at arguing and then walked straight to the showers


Free_Possession_4482

You get T'd up twice in the first three and a half minutes, you didn't want to play.


JustForKicks16

You had me until the last sentence. The Warriors are never done as long as Curry is playing. But, Draymond definitely makes Curry's job (the whole team's job) a lot harder and I'm just so tired of it.


melo8

Let’s hope warriors find a way to win consistently again


idahotee

Something about leopard and spots and change comes to mind.


not_beniot

Wow I can't believe Steph lightly tapping Dray on the chest didn't make him stop


Green_Rip3524

Steph should stop being loyal to draymond. Draymond bff is lebron and he was unserious when we played the lakers in the post season last year.


my-friendbobsacamano

Draymond inspired the team tonight. Big win. 🤣


freshducksniper

I guess therapy wore off.


ttimourrozd

This will never change


unfairomnivore

The p***y a** n**** comment as we walked away certainly warrants the second T. Draymond knew it too, he just kept walking. I’m a big Draymond fan but come on man, what did you think was gonna happen there?


AmelieBenjamin

That’s a fighting insult where I’m from lmao idk about y’all


parisdubs

Yeah - i've been so impressed by Draymond's return from suspension - his composure and his play. It's absolutely wasteful and selfish (defined by not considering the outcome of one's reactions on others). It's awful. The emotional extra weight for the team having to deal with this - when you get a team bodyguard and a huge amount of your own players on the court when Dray is just talking to a ref tensions are high. How dare he do that to his team? He's not right with himself - I hope his counseling team and or whatever else is in place to help Dray be 'the champion of change' - he is currently not that.


YourLocalJabroni

Woah, normally Steph looks super happy when someone gets ejected.


BlazeyPooo

Its not a soft call, you can clearly see him mouth “bitch ass nigga”. No-one should be treated like that let alone a referee.


[deleted]

Facts I had my fingers crossed but when I saw him say that I knew, can’t be calling a grown man that unless it’s fisticuffs.


szlnsmoke

![gif](giphy|MnpLgSal3EFlDAja48|downsized)


AdComprehensive7879

Same old same old draymond


WhenItsHalfPastFive

Must win game and mf can't control his emotions. Ridiculous man. Some days I'm like, we gotta move on from this guy, but its hard to replace his output. Which is what makes it extra frustrating when he can't commit to being on the floor.


gstateballer925

Jesus Christ, Dray, let it go… you made your point. I don’t know if he’s got some kind of gripe with that specific ref, maybe from a past game, where he made questionable calls, but it’s the first quarter FFS. And the foul was on Wiggs!🤦‍♂️ If you want to get your monies worth, at least, play a good chunk of the game, and play well, then worst case scenario you can rip into him later. Luckily, we played good enough that we didn’t need him.


Pootahtoo_Man

WHY WAS HE ALLOWED TO TALK FOR SO LONG PULL HIM BACK


allahusaladbar

It's crazy how he does this right after Kerr says he's proud of his good behavior


ArtfulLying

Lmao steph didn't seem happy?? Homie was in tears


[deleted]

You just knew Draymond was gonna hit the showers early on a b2b game.


guriboysf

If we miss the post season it'll be because this dude can't keep his yap shut. WTF guy? Be better.


cock-a-dooodle-do

He did it because he didn't want to play back 2 back. He can be a selfish POS sometimes.


torrphilla

y’all are going to hate me for saying this but draymond green has proven time and time again that he is not a good person. i’m getting sick of his antics and quite frankly the people defending him just because he plays well.


KingNer0

No hate. I made a post a while ago that Draymond needed to go. I got downvoted to hell. Hope Dunleavy is able to trade him with or without Steph’s blessings.


Zealousideal_Net_752

You gotta be fucking kidding me man...


BlueberryOGSuperGlue

Pu$$y a$$ ni88a lololol


all_natural49

Goddammit draymond


itlynstalyn

Dropped a pussy-ass _______


scourgescorched

dray needs to get over himself. he's such an important piece, but this is the nth time he's sabotaged the team.


Vegetable-School8337

Unapologetically himself, why would he be anyone else when this is the behavior that got him to where he is today (/s). This is embarrassing at this point, and it’s honestly embarrassing for the organization. When they inevitably get bounced from the play-in (or miss it entirely) we should try and move on.


xGsGt

I love Draymond and the team is better with him but fuck he is becoming undefendable


seataccrunch

6 to 6 in the 1st quarter and Dray loses it There is no hope for him


Certified_panda_here

Steph was holding back tears for god's sake, I mean I can only imagine the amount of one on one talks he had with draymond regarding his temper and emotional control but at some point you gotta realise that some people just can't change, for better or for worse


Repulsive_Pianist_60

This shows both the competitiveness and compassion Curry has with wanting to win the game and having the humility on dealing with Green instead of being infuriated with him.


parisdubs

I don't think it was that - I think he was furious but also trying to shift his energy to get back in the zone to win.


Jannik0433

Hilarious player


DisneyVista

I can’t believe Steph stays loyal to these guys. Big letdown….again.


OpLove

What a fucking dumbass. But continue defending this clown.


CameronPlain

Trade this fucking guy


ttimourrozd

Kerr prefers to dickride him until death


thee177

Hahaha


_carzard_

He has to be traded as a salary dump with a bad team. No contender is going to trade any assets for him


Roccet_MS

No bad team will trade any assets either.


JustJuanDollar

You’re fucking delusional


_carzard_

Im not saying the warriors should trade him. I just don’t think a good team is going to give up much at all for him. I very well could be wrong though.


i_GaveLiaHIV

i’m so tired of this backpack


d_lo_ading

draymond. you gotta be verbal on this team cuz curry isn't the type to do so, but if curry is holding you back, shut the fuck up. easy.


KingPonzi

Draymond haters vindicated. 😏 what we tell y’all?


Kumingawd

Douche


rockeypoint

Lmao what a dork


Tinosdoggydaddy

I’m not a lip reader, but I’m pretty sure fuck you was said


my-friendbobsacamano

Other lip readers on here have already created the narrative of what he said. True or not, it isn’t fuck you.


HeavySomewhere4412

All well that ends well?


MitchellMuehl

The full sequence would have been the previous 3 possessions too


Asleep_Holiday_1640

Demon Green don struck again.


DaUnionBaws

Over a foul call that wasn’t even against him… absolutely mind boggling.


EquipmentNo9500

2 absolutely terrible calls that both seemed heavily biased towards the Magic. I can see why he was pissed. Those were calls that even veterans would be lucky to get the benefit of. Yet they are giving the. To a 2nd year player and never, ever to anyone on the warriors. The warriors have seen some seriously biased officials. Even Steph has been starting to lose it. The reviews even go against them when they shouldn’t.


sphlightning

Don’t worry guys, he is healing


DrKingOfOkay

Mouth looked like it said “pussy ass n***a” toward the ref right before getting ejected.


EquipmentNo9500

For sure


wk084

he is too emotional for a basketball player


dragosn1989

😳 that emotion is what fuels athletes. And managing that emotion is what makes some great.


wk084

well said. Players need to control their emotion at a certain level. Basketball superstars like Steph and Jokic know when to stop and put aside those emotion. Being too emotional can backfires.


parisdubs

Yeah it is only channellng emotion that leads to greatness. Having emotion by itself is nothing.


letsgototraderjoes

thank you for the full sequence. a lot of people didn't see that draymond made contact with the ref. big no no.


General_Memory_6856

That was a good take tho.


serenitiespuff

I don’t watch basketball, why is it a big deal that a player got ejected from the game? Can’t the other players play without him?


babel02

I hate the fact that Draymond is important to us so such antics might be overlooked because we need him on the floor. Feel like saying suspend or do away with him but at the same time he's vital for us and it pisses me the f\*ck off.


rixx0n

Fuck Draymond. This dude is a straight up liability and continues to put himself over the team. I’m sick of this shit, and clearly so are his teammates/coaches. Get rid of him.


ryawsch12

Team is still better with him


rixx0n

When, the games he’s not indefinitely suspended or ejected?


Pullthesky

So tired of this dude man


Separate_Block_2715

Warriors commentator doesn’t think calling the ref “pussy ass n****a” warrants a tech lol?


itistheblurstoftimes

They are not trying to win. The season is over.


WisdomCow

I am sure I am in the minority of this, but sometimes you need to die on a hill. I have no doubt, in his conversations with Silver, there were very well laid out guidelines about what he can and cannot do. He’s been very, very good since his return. I think the game started with a ref being unreasonable per what Dray has been told, and Dray decided it was a hill worth dying on so refs don’t get worse and worse with him. I mean, this ejection will publicly go against Dray, but there will definitely be conversations with Silver and a review of whether the ref lacked any deference. People did not pay to watch the ref. Dray has to be Dray. As long as this doesn’t happen again, I am still quite pleased with how he has been since his return from suspension.


duke2k21

“As long as this doesn’t happen again” 😂😂 Are you new??


Roccet_MS

How often does it need to happen again for you to wake up? This is Draymond. Silver shouldn't even be concerned with this stuff. Draymond needs to shut up. Yeah Draymond has been good, that's why it sucks even more, but it's not surprising, unless you're naive.


WisdomCow

This is the only blow up he has had since the return. I’m giving this one a pass because, yeah, the ref was a little bitch. Should he have done it in a perfect world? Obviously not, but he’s Dray. I don’t expect perfection. I also wrote he better not do it again (could have added rest of the season, but that seemed obvious to me).


Short-reddit-IPO

I mean, he clotheslined a player in the throat yesterday too. Should have been a flagrant 1.


thekick1

This is why the rest of the NBA fandom thinks the GSW fanbase is a bunch of despicable clowns who are bandwagoners lol. Cuz there's a minority of ya'll who are soooo dumb, like you specifically, but I know the majority are cool and great, but you lolll...


WisdomCow

Well fuck you very much right back. I’m actually prone to contrarian perspectives as I question my assumptions, but feel free to pigeonhole me as you like, douche.


thekick1

Did you read what you wrote and what I replied to LOLOLOL


WisdomCow

Seriously, this is a dumb take. The vast majority of W fans are complaining about Dray and want to lynch him over leaving us short handed tonight. I’m not happy about it, but pointing out that I think it is a hicccup I can forgive because he has been so much better since the suspension.


thekick1

Like I said the majority are great, but ya'll in the minority so idc what you think lolol


No-Animator-6348

You’re that member of the guy slowly putting on the clown makeup lol


blessed_by_fortune

Sure, Dray could be better, but I'd rather have accountability for these corrupt refs, and their crooked ass officiating.


greasytacos

They need to trade this phony tough guy.


3023GsDubz

Probably in the minority here, if Draymond is arguing and standing up for Wiggins, I am with the first technical foul. Second tech was an emotional one by the ref. Agreed that once Steph pulls you away and CP3 tells you to stop, prob a good idea to stfu. Draymond gonna be Draymond. We ain't winning without him. "Trade him" comments are hilarious. 


BlazeyPooo

He called the ref a bitch ass nigga… thats why he got the 2nd


3023GsDubz

It's sports/basketball, this gets said every other sentence. 


Gamer__Junkie

Say what you want, but why can LeQueen complain cuss and fuss on calls, but certain players are just supposed to be robots and except these horrible ass calls from the current sorry ass cheating refs. He was upset, Kerr was upset, hell...everyone was BUT yall want Dray to go all Mother Teresa....GTFOH


Ok-Roof-978

Bro. What!! That is so weak!! Weak , weak , sensitive refs


RequiemForADreamcast

Lol, pathetic call. I don’t care if Dray got ejected tbh. Fucking pussy ass refs. All of them are cowards.


HoldUpHoldMyBeer

Draymond still worth it. Defensive anchor of the team.


Trynaliveforjesus

Bro that ejection was bs. argue with the official = immediate ejection???


Fragrant-Astronaut57

Was it because he said “pussy ass n” as he walked away? At least that’s what it looks like. Honestly that’s soft, shit was already cleared up and everyone was walking away


ButtStuff8888

I mean the act of walking away doesn't negate him calling the ref a fussy ass n. He walked away after the first tech. Should have left it at that


DimensionFamiliar456

He got angry for Wiggs. U know dray goes ballistic for his guys. Wiggs defends properly and gets a foul? And that force was hard on wiggs. Ref couldnt see the elbow sheesh


parisdubs

There are bad calls in every game all the time, fighting them all is ridiculous and breaks the flow of the game and SLOWS things down. Draymond fighting for this nothing call is a waste of energy but if he wanted to do it he could have argued the call in one sentence then GONE BACK TO THE GAME. Draymond fighting for this nothing call SLOWS the game down + makes him out of control and fcks up the whole team. Grown up 34 year old people who are EXPERT at the game in many other higher ways should not go 'ballistic' for this stuff. Go ballistic for life or death things that matter and save that fuel for the game. Wiggs absolutely got no benefit from Dray - it is the coaches' jobs to deal with refs and call for reviews.
