Draymond Green Is Back At It Again, This Time Getting Ejected For Punching Jusuf Nurkic In The Face

Just about a month ago, Draymond Green was suspended 5 games for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold

As much as he tried to deny that there was anything else at play other than him coming to the aid of a teammate, we all saw right through it. He saw his opportunity to choke out Rudy Gobert and he took it. As a result, he paid the price with the 5 game suspension. The question then turned to, would Draymond finally learn his lesson and stop doing shit like this? 

Of course not.

Not even a month later, here we are again

Draymond Green may be surprised to know, you can't do that. He didn't even do a good job hiding it either. Normally when Draymond has these controversal and dirty plays, he makes it seem like it was just an accidental reaction. That it was just his body moving in a way outside of his control. Unfortunately, that is not what we see in that video. He tries, the whole fighting for position thing was where Draymond was probably going with it, but he knew exactly what he was doing when he turned around and followed through. 

Here's the thing, we know what comes next. Draymond is going to cry that he's the victim, that everyone has it out for him and that it's bullshit that his priors are probably going to impact what happens next

But if you're Adam Silver and you just suspended this dude for 5 games and it took less than a month for him to punch someone in the face, you have no choice but to go to like 10 or something right? I mean what are we doing here! I thought the 5 games was the right choice for the Gobert chokehold, something that was long enough where GS definitely feels the impact but it was nothing crazy. Now? Now I feel like you have to get crazy. This isn't playing hard, this is playing dirty. By a guy who has a long history of doing dirty things on the basketball court. At some point enough has to be enough, and now that the Warriors are sort of trending down you don't get the sense that the league is all that interested in making excuses for them anymore, so my guess is Adam Silver drops the hammer. Maybe not Ja Morant 25 game level, but it wouldn't shock me if we see a double digit suspension.

The sad part is, as soon as Draymond is back a few weeks will go by and something else will happen. He'll kick someone in the dick or elbow them in the face or something of the like. Draymond can't help himself, that much has been proven.
