Draymond Green Sends Clear Message on Warriors Controversy

After the break, Green was involved in an ever more contentious moment. The four-time All-Star was called for a Flagrant foul after making contact with Sengun as the Warriors vet drove to the basket. 

Green's elbow hit Sengun in the face, and the referees ultimately decided that the former's action necessitated a Flagrant foul call. 

Green wasn't at all pleased with the referees' decision, and he made his thoughts on the matter clear. Speaking to reporters after the game, the outspoken Warriors star expressed his disappointment. 

"I mean, the Flagrant call, I don’t know what to do," Green said, via NBC Sports Bay Area. "Go duck? Don’t go up for the layup?" 

"... The tech -- I’m not going to stop because the referee says stop and give up position. I already gave up six inches and 50 pounds. So, it is what it is."

Green wasn't done talking about it either, and he addressed the controversy again on his podcast. The 35-year-old took the opportunity to call out the refs for saying that he "wound up" and "delivered with force."

"The flagrant foul wasn't necessarily what killed me. What killed me was the description," he said on "The Draymond Green Show." "…  I'm just not sure how else to go to the basket.”

At this point, Green has no other choice but to move on. Despite his strong message here, the harsh reality is that it doesn't seem like the NBA will be changing its mind on either the technical foul or his Flagrant foul.  

Green will need to keep his eyes on the prize as the Warriors continue to battle for positioning in an extremely tight race in the West.
