Draymond Green On Relationship With Harrison Barnes

by

Draymond Green has long been known for sharing his true emotions. That statement is not more evident than Green’s latest actions in the series with the Sacramento Kings. Green was suspended for Game 3 of the series after stomping Domantas Sabonis. However, the Warriors found a way to win Game 3, as well as Game 4 against the Kings. But the ending of Game 4 almost went the other way. Kings forward Harrison Barnes just missed the game-winner. A shot that would have felt amazing for the former Golden State Warrior.

Barnes was a part of the Warriors franchise during their 2015 championship run. However, a few short years later, Barnes was shipped out of Golden State so the team could add Kevin Durant to the roster. Of course, no player likes the idea of being traded because you are not good enough. However, Green still feels like Barnes holds that grudge against him. In a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green sat down with Damian Lillard to discuss the issue with Barnes.

Draymond Green Breaks Down Beef With Harrison Barnes

Green believes the sole reason behind Barnes’ beef with him is the Warriors adding Durant. In the clip, Green thinks Barnes wasn’t ready to accept a bench role with the team. Green even mentioned that Barnes invited a few former teammates to his wedding. However, Green’s invite must have gotten lost in the mail. Durant’s addition to the Warriors created one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Without the injuries the Warriors had to deal with in 2019, the team would have won three straight championships.

Obviously, the move to add Durant made sense. Any team would be jumping at the idea to add such a talented star to their roster. However, Barnes may never be over the situation. But, the former Warriors star could end the decade reign of dominance for his former team. The Kings and Warriors are currently tied at two games a piece in their series. Do you believe Barnes holds Draymond Green to blame for the addition of Durant to the Warriors? Let us know what you think in the comment section.

Draymond Green Delivers Interesting Anthony Edwards Comparison

by

Draymond Green is someone who has inspired quite a bit of controversy so far in the postseason. Back in Game 2 against the Sacramento Kings, he ended up stomping on Domantas Sabonis. Overall, this was not a good look and it led to a one-game suspension. However, despite Green’s absence, the Warriors were able to win Game 3 safely. Subsequently, on Sunday afternoon, they also managed to win Game 4 to tie up the series. Now, the Kings have their backs up against the wall as the defending champs look to secure the comeback.

While Draymond Green is focused on his own series, he is also watching games from around the league. Last night, the Minnesota Timberwolves were playing Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets. It was a must-win game as the Nuggets came into the match up 3-0. However, in the end, the T-Wolves were able to stave off elimination. This was largely thanks to the likes of Anthony Edwards, who scored a whopping 34 points. After the game, Draymond decided to show love.

Draymond Green Loves Some Anthony Edwards

However, as you will see in the tweet above, Draymond Green did this by revealing an interesting comparison for Ant. Essentially, he compared the Timberwolves’ star to a wide receiver in football. “With all due respect to all the great Wide Receivers. Hard to not imagine Ant Man not being an all time great receiver. He just ran a crazy post on the double to get the ball,” Green wrote. Although this might seem like a weird comparison across sports, it is definitely an apt one. Edwards is fast and energetic on the court and has been carrying his team this season.

Whether or not the Timberwolves can make an impossible comeback, remains to be seen. For the most part, it just seems like the Nuggets had an off-night, and will bounce back at home. Either way, T-Wolves fans are happy to have him on the roster. Let us know your thoughts on his recent performance, in the comments section below.

Draymond Green Comments On Joel Embiid Incident

by

Draymond Green may be the last person you thought would comment on Joel Embiid’s latest incident. Embiid made waves after kicking Nic Claxton on Thursday during the Sixers-Nets game. However, Green has also been a part of his own playoff drama. The Golden State Warriors star was suspended for stomping Sacramento big man Domantas Sabonis. On the latest episode of his own podcast, Green shared his thoughts on Embiid avoiding suspension.

“I’m never in favor of seeing a player get kicked out of a game… That’s not playoffs. That’s not what we’re paying to see.” Green stated that he doesn’t like seeing players ejected during a playoff game. Of course, he may be a little biased since he was recently suspended. However, many have been on Green’s side when discussing his suspension. After Embiid’s incident, Charles Barkley felt Embiid should have been suspended before Green was. However, the league didn’t see it that way.

Draymond Green Dislikes Playoff Ejections

The Sixers also had to deal with another star being involved in an incident on Thursday night. James Harden was ejected from the game for striking Royce O’Neale in a region where no man likes to get hit. The ejection of Harden even brought up more questions about the league’s recent officiating. Many are of the belief that Embiid’s actions were even worse than Harden’s. However, it was Harden on the receiving end of the ejection. But the ejection didn’t slow down the Sixers in Game 3. Sixers star Tyrese Maxey led the way for Philly to help the team earn a 3-0 series lead.

Green will return to the Warriors for game 4 after serving his one-game suspension. The Warriors also took care of business without Green on Thursday night. The results are leading some to believe that maybe Green’s time with the Warriors could be on borrowed time. Do you agree with Draymond Green that players shouldn’t be ejected from playoff games? If players shouldn’t get ejected, then what should the punishment be? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Kendrick Perkins Puts Pressure On Draymond Green

by

Kendrick Perkins had some strong words for Draymond Green upon his return to the court. Green was recently suspended for stomping Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis. The Warriors forward was ejected for his actions, then later suspended for one game by the NBA. The Warriors managed to win Game 3 against the Kings without Green in the lineup. However, Perkins believes Green may be realizing that his time with Golden State may be running low.

On Friday’s edition of First Take, Perkins discussed the pressure Green may feel in his return. “I feel like Draymond Green is auditioning. He’s actually auditioning to come back and say, ‘You know what, I actually want to be here.” Perkins alluded to the great play by Kevon Looney. Looney recorded 20 rebounds in the Warriors Game 3 victory. Also, Jordan Poole played big in the absence of Green. While reports have been circulating that the younger Warriors players have been frustrated with their role on the team.

Kendrick Perkins Believes Green Is Auditioning To Stay In Golden State

Now, the younger stars have a great argument. As Poole and Looney were great assets in the absence of Green. However, Green has seniority and pull in Golden State. Two things that he has rightly earned during his time with the franchise. However, Green must show the team that he will not be a liability during the most important time of the season. Something that Perkins alluded to in his discussions of Green on Friday.

If Green were to return and quietly string together great performances, the stomp will be forgotten. But for now, one has to wonder where Green is mentally before heading back to the court. Green broke his silence after the stomp with a cryptic Instagram story. The Warriors star has long been known for his firey personality. However, one more slip-up on the court could cost him everything he has built in Golden State. Do you agree with Kendrick Perkins that Green should feel pressure when he returns?

Draymond Green Speaks Out For First Time Since Incident

by

Draymond Green has finally broken his silence after the incident in the game with the Sacramento Kings. Green has been suspended for Game Three of the Warriors-Kings series after stomping Domantas Sabonis. The stomp has elicited a lot of discussion on the punishment handed down to Green. However, some are wondering how Sabonis avoided suspension. As his actions are the entire reason the incident even occurred. But the league felt a technical foul was sufficient enough punishment for Sabonis.

On Wednesday night, Green took to an Instagram story to give a mysterious comment on the moment. “Because winners always win,” posted Green in the Instagram story. It seemed as if Green was against the world during the incident. The Sacramento crowd began heavily booing Green during the official timeout to review the play. Green then began giving it right back to the crowd. As he began jawing with fans behind the Warriors bench. However, whatever case Green may have made on the floor didn’t help his cause. The Warriors forward was ejected from the game.

Draymond Green Shares Cryptic Instagram Post

The Warriors will be without Green as the team looks to avoid a 3-0 series deficit. In the Golden State Steph Curry era, the team has never been down 2-0. The Warriors will be looking to make a statement when the series begins on their home court. However, Warriors fans will have to be extremely loud to match the atmosphere in Sacramento. Coaches and players involved in the series have discussed the impact the fans played on the first two games of the series.

Green has a long history of being on the wrong side of on the court altercations. The former Michigan State Spartan was suspended in the 2016 NBA Finals for his on the court physicality with LeBron James. Green’s absence in that series changed the entire tone. The Cleveland Cavaliers won the 2016 NBA Finals. However, many wonder if the series would have gone Golden State’s way if Green wasn’t suspended. Do you agree with the NBA’s suspension of Draymond Green? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, stay locked in here at HNHH.

Joe Dumars Breaks Down Reasoning For Draymond Suspension

by

Joe Dumars is no stranger to physical basketball. Dumars was a part of the most physical team in NBA history with the “Bad Boys” Detroit Pistons. However, now Dumars is known for helping the league make hard decisions. As Executive Vice President of the NBA, Dumars is at the forefront of the latest league incident. On Monday, Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from the team’s game for stomping Domantas Sabonis. An action that has caused caught a stir among the NBA community. Green’s action has forced the NBA to suspend him for Game 3 of the series.

On Wednesday, Dumars spoke with Malika Andrews of ESPN to discuss the league’s reasoning behind Green’s suspension. “The act itself, we felt over-the-top & excessive… The conduct, detrimental… And a repeat offender… If you put it all together, that’s how we came up with a suspension.” Dumars also mentioned that if Sabonis wouldn’t have grabbed Green’s leg, the situation would have never happened. However, the league feels Sabonis was correctly punished by the officials on the court.

Joe Dumars Stands By Green’s Suspension

The situation has garnered many opinions on what actually happened. Including many to choose Green’s side on the matter. However, Green’s track record seems to be a big reason behind the NBA’s ruling. Dumars mentioned that Green being a repeat offender, played a role in the recent decision. Also, the excessive act of going after Kings fans as refs reviewed the play in question didn’t help Green’s case. Green will now have to watch his team avoid going down 3-0 to the Kings.

Green’s actions on Monday have been deemed unnecessary. Pointing the finger at Sabonis is acceptable. However, Green didn’t have to respond in the manner that he did. Now the Warriors will need to put this moment behind them. But that will be hard to do, as Green will not be available for the next game. Do you agree with Joe Dumars’ assessment of the incident? Should more have been done to Sabonis? Let us know your thoughts on the hot topic in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Ludacris Delivers Hilarious Draymond Green Meme

by

Ludacris is someone who doesn’t shy away from posting memes of himself on Instagram. In fact, this is something that can be said of most oldheads in the hip-hop game. Overall, Luda is someone that continues to entertain his fans, and his meme game on Instagram is a way to do that. Additionally, in order to stay in tune with the latest memes, the artist is always keeping up with the trends. Whether it be pop culture, sports, or music, he is tapped in with the latest news stories.

We know this largely because of the latest meme he posted on his Instagram account. If you have been following the NBA, you know that Draymond Green recently stomped on Domantas Sabonis. Subsequently, the Warriors star was suspended for one game in the middle of the playoffs. Consequently, the Warriors could be out of this series by tomorrow night. However, that did not stop Ludacris from reposting the meme below, which was originally created by The Score.

Ludacris Makes Light Of Draymond Green Suspension

As you can see, the video starts out with the Green and Sabonis altercation. However, as soon as the stomp is made, the video cuts to Ludacris’ infamous 2003 music video for the track “Stand Up.” This was one of the biggest hits in the entire world 20 years ago, and it seems to still be very relevant today. Overall, we’re sure even Draymond Green could appreciate the use of this meme. After all, on Thursday night, all he will be able to do is scroll through Twitter and Instagram as his teammates play basketball. It is a harsh world, isn’t it?

The Sacramento Kings are currently up 2-0 on the Golden State Warriors. If they manage to go up 3-0, history tells us that the series is over. However, the Warriors are the one team that could back from something like this. Whether or not they will, still remains to be seen. Let us know whether or not you thought the suspension was just, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports and music world.

Charles Barkley Focusing On Bigger Story In Warriors-Kings Series

by

Charles Barkley was one of the many media members that spoke on Draymond Green’s latest incident. Green’s stomp on Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis will be the most memorable moment from the 2023 Playoffs. However, the Warriors and Kings series has been more than a stomp. The Kings have jumped out to a 2-0 series lead. Something that most people weren’t expecting from the young Kings team. But Barkley doesn’t want the Kings performance to get lost in the shuffle.

When speaking on the stomp, Barkley brought up what really matters in this series. “What really bothers me about this whole thing, to be honest with you, is we’re taking away from the fact that the Sacramento Kings are just kicking their ass.” Barkley is not wrong in his assessment of the opening-round matchup. The Kings have handled the Warriors rather easily in the first two meetings. Which shouldn’t be a surprise for a three-seed playing a six. However, when that sixth seed is the defending champion, it makes a massive difference. Check out the video of Barkley’s comments below.

Charles Barkley Praises Kings Recent Performance

The series between the two has shown the world a glimpse of a new NBA star. De’Aaron Fox has been the biggest factor in the Kings 2-0 series lead. On Tuesday, the league announced Fox as the first-ever winner of the Clutch Player of the Year award. An award that Fox rightfully earned with his performance in the regular season. Now Fox is putting on a show in the playoffs, and folks like Barkley are taking notice.

A Game 3 victory will all but seal the fate of the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are facing their first 2-0 series deficit in the Steph Curry era. Now the team will be without Green for his actions in Game 2. It seems as if everything is lining up for the Kings to pack their brooms to Golden State. However, No one should count Curry out until he is officially gone from the playoffs. Do you agree with Charles Barkley on the performance of the Kings? Or will the Warriors be able to come from behind and shock the fan-favorite Kings? Please give us your thoughts on the series in the comment section.

Skip Bayless Reveals Thoughts On Draymond Green Suspension

by

Skip Bayless is the latest media personality to share his thoughts on the Draymond Green suspension. Green has been suspended one game without pay for stomping Domantas Sabonis in Game 2 of the Warriors-Kings. The action had Twitter split on what the repercussions would be from Green’s action. In the replay of the incident, Sabonis is seen holding Green’s ankle prior to the stomp. However, most still believe that the stomp was unnecessary and Green deserves the punishment.

On Wednesday’s episode of Undisputed, Bayless and co-host Shannon Sharpe discussed the move by the NBA. Bayless mentioned that if the league was just looking at the present incident, Green shouldn’t have been suspended. However, given Green’s history, it was the easy decision for the league. Also, Bayless mentioned that it didn’t help that Green was putting on a show during the review of the play. The Warriors forward could be seen going back and forth with Kings fans prior to his ejection from the incident. Check out Bayless’s full comments below.

Skip Bayless Disagrees With NBA Ruling On Green

It’s no secret that Green’s past on the court has seen many altercations. For many, Green is considered a dirty player. However, many in the media, like Bayless, have come to the support of Green. Including NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. So, Green’s actions may have been provoked. But that doesn’t mean stomping someone is still the right thing to do. In this situation, there is no one who is right. Both actions were wrong. However, Green is the only one facing suspension.

This isn’t the first time Green has been suspended for a playoff game. In 2016, Green was suspended in Game 3 of the NBA Finals for an interaction with LeBron James. May argue that Green’s absence from that game cost his team the championship. Now, the Warriors see themselves down 2-0 without a starter for Game 3. Do you believe the NBA got the suspension right? Also, do you agree with Skip Bayless that Green’s antics during the incident are the leading cause of the suspension? Let us know your thoughts on the situation in our comment section.

Draymond Green Suspension Backed By Twitter

by

It’s been a busy few weeks for Warriors forward Draymond Green. As the NBA regular season wound down, he reignited his beef with Rudy Gobert. Then he put the league on notice by calling his shot on a Warriors title run. And if that wasn’t enough, he went and stomped on Domantas Sabonis during Game 2 of the Warriors-Kings series.

It was the stomp heard around the league. With 7:06 left in the fourth quarter and the Kings up four, Steph Curry grabbed a defensive rebound off a missed Malik Monk jumper. Green and Sabonis collided while contesting the rebound and Sabonis went to the ground. As the Warriors transitioned up the court, Green was explicitly seen deliberately stomping on Sabonis’ abdomen. Sabonis had reportedly grabbed Green’s ankle while on the ground. This led to Green being called for a flagrant foul and subsequently ejected. The Kings would hold onto their lead and eventually win 114-108.

Green Suspended For One Game

Despite initial speculation that Green wouldn’t receive additional punishment for the stomp, the NBA handed down a one-game suspension. It’s the second suspension Green has received this season. In March, he earned an automatic one-game suspension after accruing 16 technical fouls on the season. However, aside from his long-standing history of being a “dirty player”, it’s not the first time he’s been handed a playoff suspension. In 2016, Green missed Game 5 of the NBA Finals after hitting LeBron in the groin. Famously, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in that series to mark a Cavs championship.

Furthermore, Green’s suspension couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Warriors. They are 0-2 in the playoffs for the first time under Steve Kerr. Additionally, playing against a white-hot Kings team, they will need to find a replacement for Green’s assists and rebounds. This is not an easy task, especially given a lack of options at his position on the roster. While the Warriors still have the scoring powerhouse of the Splash Brothers, Jonathan Kuminga and Jamychal Green are not exactly Draymond 2.0. Could Green’s suspension have cost the Warriors yet another playoff run? The Kings look to go up 3-0 in Green’s absence on Thursday.
