There is no doubt that the way the Golden State played tonight has broken some hearts. And among those, Draymond Green’s can be counted. But beyond breaking his heart, Monte Poole, a reporter for the NBCS, is fairly certain that Green would have thrown something at his TV.
Many comments on the post, show their belief in the controversial star of the Warriors. Going back to Poole, he said, “[Draymond] watching this game and seeing this, I don’t know how many times he probably threw something at the TV.”

Seeing that Draymond Green has been quite successful in somewhat breaking Jokic’s run, the outcome would have indeed been different. One user says that while Dray would have made a difference, it’s not an excuse for their steadily increasing losses.
Draymond definitely makes a difference but you can’t use that excuse. They shouldn’t have blown a lead like that.

Another fan comments that Nikola’s three-pointer would have definitely been fouled by Green.
Yeah dray would of fouled Jokic on the 3

Yet another user hilariously says that even in such frustrating situations, the franchise would need Dray to follow the path of non-violence.
The want him to control that passion and just take situations like this without emotion 🤣 be passive about it. Accept it for that it is.

While everyone was enjoying the commentary, a fan with a good head on his shoulder seemed to bring everyone’s attention to the real reason he was suspended.
Uh … isn’t that the sort of impulse control he’s supposed to be working on?…

For all the things that Green is guilty of, there is no argument in the fact that he is one of the key players contributing to GSW’s success. Having said that, it seems like ‘DrayMagic’ fans will be seeing the veteran forward soon.
Draymond Green is set to return soon
The third arm of the Warriors dynasty, Draymond Green, has been key to the four titles that the franchise got during the Curry-Thompson era. On par with the Lakers’ legend, LeBron James for his contribution to LA, this season would have been the defining moment.
In fact, the 2023-24 regular season began with the question of who between the pair would win their fifth ring. But as we’ve seen, both the teams have been struggling. One struggle was in the form of Green for the Dubs. With a history of violent altercations, it was widely agreed that Dray’s behavior needed serious correction. Suspended indefinitely from December 13th, the 4x All-Star’s return depended on meeting certain conditions.
The most recent update from Woj, though, has allowed many to breathe a sigh of relief.

Golden State’s Draymond Green — on an indefinite league suspension since Dec. 13 — is expected to return to the Warriors’ facility in the coming days to start ramping up to resume play again, sources tell ESPN.

While there is no definite date for when he will take the floor, the ESPN analyst confirms that Green will soon be in the Dubs’ training facility. Hopefully, we can see a guy who is more in control of himself. A player making decisions that will help his team rather than get in their way.
