Green was stupid. In watching the film there was not an unusual amount of physical contact in the low post area. Green was reaching back to try to post up and Nurkic had his hands on Green also. There was nothing there that should have cause Green to turn and strike Nurkic.
And to add insult to injury Nurkic flopped and then continued in the game after Green was tossed. Green didn’t hit him, but slapped him with an open hand. Should he be ejected...yes. Is his history enough to warrant a suspension...yes. But this is what the NBA is selling with these gladiator tactics. It has turned into big time wrestling and not basketball.

Green is a repeat offender, and repeat, and repeat.
Green is 33 years old, his production is down and the Warriors are not a championship caliber team anymore, he’s probably feeling the end of his career and the big money is slipping away and can’t take it, he’s always been a volatile player and even more so now that he’s over the hill, I’m fine with whatever suspension they give him, unless he gets his emotions under control his career could be over
