The NBA is reviewing another questionable Draymond Green play
During Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, Draymond Green—one of the 10 best players in the league, and well-known for a regular inability to control his own body parts—flipped Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams to the ground while battling for position in the paint.
After review, the sequence was ruled a double foul, but that doesn't mean Green is in the clear just yet:
Suspension after techs #7, 9, 11 and so on... Suspension after Flagrant points 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on. Two tracks. https://t.co/V8wDUQ5Ck2

This is obviously worrisome. Green is irreplaceable, and it'd be a colossal break for the Cleveland Cavaliers if he isn't in the lineup for Game 1. Golden State can't go small without Green. He unlocks the very best version of themselves, creating lineups that Cleveland had trouble matching up against in last year's NBA Finals.
In two games against the Cavaliers this season, Green averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 8.5 assists. He shot 48.1 percent from the floor and registered four blocks. He's integral on both ends, and the Warriors should pray the NBA doesn't consider his take down a flagrant foul, which, stripped of context, it probably was.
