Watch: Draymond Green moves closer to suspension with another playoff tech

After review, referee Tony Brothers assessed Green a technical foul, his fifth this postseason. Per NBA rules, players are automatically suspended one game after picking up a seventh technical foul.

The Warriors should go ahead and prepare to be without Green at some point this series. It's only a matter of time (likely quarters) that he picks up two more techs.

He can't help himself. 

Anytime a player gets in his vicinity, he's liable to flop and make unnecessary physical contact. In the first round against the Rockets, he hit point guard Fred VanVleet across the face while being guarded and also put his feet on the back of power forward Tari Eason's head after both players fell to the court.

It's an exhausting act, and it's also hurting Golden State. With Curry (hamstring) out until Game 5 at the earliest, the Warriors can't afford to lose Green. Based on his track record, they likely will.
