Another possible Draymond Green dirty play? What a surprise!
We’ve seen some of that in these NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, whether it’s the offensive line move or the skirmish with Jaylen Brown.
And in the Golden State Warriors’ Game 3 loss to the Celts on Wednesday night — in which Green fouled out — we saw another moment: Green was getting ready to box out Jayson Tatum during a free throw attempt … but instead of getting in front of the star Boston forward, Green went over the top and pulled.
That would be a normal level of dirty … but Tatum’s right shoulder was injured during the Eastern Conference Finals and may have gotten it hurt again in Game 2 of this series.
Let’s review:
Here's the play

Here’s @Money23Green intentionally not trying to get inside position, rather going behind Tatum and grabbing him from the top, over his body in an attempt to injure his shoulder. pic.twitter.com/HLOn9CCRzO

I don't want to hear Kerr talking about a "code" or fans language when Draymond is trying to yank Tatum shoulder and further injure it, while screaming F bombs consistently all game. This play is about as dirty as it gets, so yeah the Eff you @Money23Green chants are warranted. https://t.co/M54otqBLcO

It's not a coincidence at all that Draymond attacked Tatum's right shoulder, where he's been nursing an injury. Draymond did the exact same thing to Harden's injured wrist in 2017. He knows exactly what he's doing. https://t.co/3Prw1Ik87W https://t.co/7rxhnR5j2D

Dudes really going for Tatum’s shoulder bro. This play by him is unnecessary. Draymond is terrible. https://t.co/bAiWzvhuSN
