Steph Curry Full-On Cries After Selfish Draymond Green Gets Ejected Against Magic In Less Than Four Minutes
With fewer than a dozen games left on the Golden State Warriors' schedule, every contest is a pivotal one as the team is barely holding onto the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. Draymond Green being on the floor boosts the Warriors chances of sneaking into the playoffs, and everyone knows this, except for maybe Draymond Green himself.
The Warriors played visitor to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night in what was game three of a crucial five-game road trip. Less than 24 hours earlier, Green, who has been suspended for misconduct multiple times this season, issued his latest cheap shot by hooking his arm around the neck of Miami Heat guard Patty Mills and picking up a flagrant foul.
Green kept his hands to himself in Orlando, but managed to get ejected less than four minutes into the contest in one of the more ridiculously selfish scenes imaginable.
Just 3:36 into the contest, Paolo Banchero created an and-one opportunity with Andrew Wiggins picking up a foul at the rim. Green didn't like the call, said some choice words to a referee, and immediately got whistled for a technical foul. Given that Green lacks the ability to shut his mouth for more than 2.3 seconds, he continued to jaw at the official despite the entire Warriors bench coming onto the floor trying to cool him off.
After finally making his way to Golden State's bench looking like a toddler having his hand held in a parking lot, Green appeared to shout "pu--- a-- n----" at a referee and got ejected.
Green's child-like antics frustrated Steph Curry to the point of tears, and we're talking full-on tears into the inside of the jersey tears. Draymond had Curry crying on the floor less than four minutes into a regular season game.
That's a man who understands the reality he and the Warriors are going to be dealing with in the very near future. Curry realizes that the end of the magical Golden State era with himself and Green captaining the ship is coming to an end, and instead of coming together in their final games, Green is choosing to get himself ejected over a foul call on a play that didn't even involve him.
The Warriors managed to pick up a win in Orlando despite Green's antics and Curry crying on the court, giving them a one-game edge over the Houston Rockets for the final play-in spot.
