New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors - 1st Half Highlights | Nov 7 | 2016-17 NBA Season
Draymond Green has suggested hes been unfairly targeted by NBA officials this season, and the Warriors are trying to get that turned around now so it doesnt become a season-long problem.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers talked with NBA vice president of basketball operations Kiki Vandeweghe last Friday. According to cbssports.com, after Green has been slapped with two technical fouls Myers wanted to get the officials off Greens back.
It was Vandeweghe who decided to suspend Green for Game 5 of the NBA finals against Cleveland, and a source told cbssports.com Myers took him aside Friday when he ran into Vandeweghe at the Warriors-Laker game Friday.
Green got his first technical in the first game of the season against San Antonio for yelling after a dunk. He picked up No. 2 last week after having yelled at teammate Kevin Durant for having blocked a Russell Westbrook shot.
Both times the officials decided Green was taunting.
