Green has a well-known reputation for questionable in-game behavior, and while he seemed to have turned a corner after serving an indefinite suspension last season, he let his temper flare up once again, leaving Warriors fans frustrated.
A costly mistake that nearly changed the game
After LaMelo Ball drained a three-pointer, Green, in an attempt to defend the play, ended up striking Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun in the face. The referees wasted no time blowing the whistle, but things only escalated from there.
“You got to have that same energy.”

Rather than accepting the call, Green erupted in protest, an outburst that earned him not just a flagrant foul (type 1) but also a technical foul. The consequence? Charlotte gained an extra possession and took full advantage by scoring seven consecutive points, dangerously cutting into Golden State’s lead.
Although the Warriors ultimately managed to close out the game with a 119-104 victory, fans were quick to voice their frustration online, pointing out that such reckless decisions could prove costly in closer, high-stakes matchups.
Warriors fans lose patience with Draymond Green
Social media erupted with criticism directed at Green, with many expressing exhaustion over his repeated missteps.
Warriors fans, having witnessed countless similar incidents over the years, made their feelings clear. One summed up the general sentiment by posting, “Draymond Green just gifted the Hornets seven points in one possession, this guy never learns.”
With his history of volatile behavior and the mounting frustration among fans, the real question is, how much longer will Dub Nation tolerate Draymond Green’s outbursts?
