Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh👁️ In 2019, the NBA fined Draymond Green $35K for his tweets connecting Marat Kogut to Tim Donaghy.
On Sunday, Kogut ejected Draymond from a game. The league fined Draymond again.

Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBADraymond Green will likely say it was for a greater good, but he passed up layup tonight — a la Ben Simmons — for kick-out to Damion Lee. – 10:07 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnbaDraymond Green: “To execute it requires a certain level of physicality. No disrespect to Orlando Magic, but that’s one of the worst teams in the league. We can’t match that with them. So if you can’t match that with them, you’re definitely not going to do it against a great team. – 10:06 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurkeDraymond says the team is “playing stupid.” Said they’re losong games by losing the fourth quarters especially. Feels like they’re not matching other teams’ physicality. Said “we’re getting punked.” – 9:59 PM

Klay Thompson played this front end of the back to back, and Draymond Green played close to 30 minutes
