Draymond Green is SELFISH & Steph Curry is WORN OUT! π³ – Tim Legler reacts to the ejection | Get Up
Three minutes in magic with possession poo ban Carol they’re going to call a foul on Draymond here and legy doesn’t like it bad call listen I agree it’s a bad call that’s that’s a incidental contact but Draymond doesn’t like it here right after that this play happens and now Draymond Green loses complete
Control of his emotions that was 20 seconds later B Caro driving on Andrew Wiggins they called the foul on Wiggins and so now we’ll stay with it here Jay as he begins to argue and then he just won’t stop yeah I just don’t know he’s he’s making his case but then afterwards
After he receives a tech he continues to then continue to Yap off at the mouth and that’s just soon you know the ref is at his his last calling and at this moment Steph needs to get him out of there they don’t that’s the the technical and now they gets the second
Let me just say something Draymond Green in his career has said way more after the first technical than he ever has to lead up to the first he just doesn’t stop he thinks that no one’s going to have the nerve to toss him well he ran
It to the wrong guy on the wrong night look at step’s re action again this is in the moments after it happened let me show you how the game ends because Steph Curry finds a way to win the game with 30 seconds left in a five-point game
That’s a dagger three and you see how much it means to good night to the baby saying good night to the magic and and this is a win they desperately needed they need every win at this point look at the frustration in sta after the game
Is over just letting out the emotion one way or another they find a way to get the win there’s Draymond after it’s over let’s hear from the folks and what they had to say oh say we need we need him he knows that we all know that um so whatever it
Takes to keep him on the floor and be available that’s what’s got to happen especially this point in the year so it’s a tough way to start the game uh yeah too bad it was unfortunate um he deserved it um and um you know he’ll he’ll bounce back I’m just proud of the
Guys um for um stepping up and so we find ourselves here again today and and and go ahead guys what are the right things to say Tim I’ll let you start what are the right things to say this morning about first of all I understand Curry and kerr they they’re
They’re going gentle on him that’s kind of what you have to do because this guy’s still on the team and he is important but that that’s just it’s too soft their reaction in my opinion because this has gotten so old this struck a cord with me and we’ve seen
This happen so many times but last night struck such a nerve with me and I have no dog in the fight I’m just watching the game the only word that popped in my head is selfish this is is a selfish move to do this to your team when they
Desperately have to have you they every single night is critical to the Warriors right now Steph Curry desperately wants to make the playoffs and you get yourself tossed into four minutes because you just can’t stop yourself you can’t put the emotional break on after you’ve already been given a tea which
Should be enough to quell this and get through the moment but here’s the thing with Draymond he just truly believes that these guys don’t have the nerve you don’t have the nerve to toss me and at some point you get a guy on a certain night they’ve had enough and I do
Appreciate KR saying you deserved it yeah I appreciate that because a lot of times they haven’t said that in the past and he absolutely did that’s just an absolute selfish move to leave your teammates out to dry on a night when you have to have a win um I feel this
Sometimes we’ve all been in relationships where you’re just you get to a certain point where you’re mentally exhausted and you say I’m over it like I’m over it I’m done with it and I kind of feel like Steph and Steve cerr are at that point where they’re over it um look
Draymond Green is a very special player everybody understands that but he pushes the envelope too far and first off why do you send your worst negotiator in to negotiate something that you know he has a horrible rate on negotiating like he’s just not that’s not what he’s good at so
I feel like this to me talks to inevitably what’s going to happen the writing’s on the wall with the Golden State Warriors it’s just a matter of time or when this team has to blow up look opinion the last thing in the world I want to do is blame anyone else for
Something that he did clearly this is on him first last and always but there’s like a a a 40 second span there after the first technical where he’s still standing there yelling someone I don’t know who needs to literally just grab him and start pulling him away and
They’re all standing there and watching this again I’m not I’m not blaming others for what he did wrong but I’m saying they let him keep standing it’s a car accident though every single time you rub her neck every single time and every single time Grinny after a
The hell you have to do man that’s one of the few times I’ve seen Steph react like that in the moment right when it happened Steph Curry was just standing there staring off that’s what I’m saying right into a crowd like chewing on his mouthpiece just staring then he bent
Over and Steve Kirk came over it almost looked like Steph Curry was like physically ill because Steph’s saying we’re four minutes in this is a really good team we’re playing we’ve got momentum right now we’re trying to hold off a team that’s won nine straight now 10 straight because Houston ends up
Winning that game last night and he’s saying and now we got to do this without you by the way you’re the primary guy to guard their best player yeah okay and Kingo wasn’t playing either who would be the second guy to guard B Caro so now
They’re both out and and you just leave your team out there hanging and it’s great he greets them at the locker room and does this and all that get let hug it out I I just can’t imagine what’s going through all of their heads even in
That moment by way uh by the way all that stuff afterwards when you give one of those you could just tell as a former player like yeah okay I’m going dap you but we all know how I feel right now and also they’re fighting for the tth spot
Yeah they’re fighting for the tth spot like that’s what on the line right now so once again love Draymond but he continues to jeopardize his team last Point real quick if this was something and this happen sometimes in games where what I say to you as an official is so
Inflammatory right out of my mouth you go one two gone right that does that’s not what this was how long did this last yeah that’s my point how long did it last where you had a chance at any point that referee did not want to throw him
Out of the game he gave him no choice you literally backed this guy into a corner where you gave him no choice other than to make that decision we’re back on get up and as we approach the bottom of the hour we go back to our
Top story of the morning we had a lot of things planned this morning and then this happened again Draymond Green four minutes less than four minutes into last night’s critical game for the Warriors in Orlando thrown out for arguing two technicals as you see him tossed from
The game a game that the Warriors would ultimately find a way to win late in the action but the big storyline here continues to be Draymond and again Tim legler and Jay Williams lots of folks joining us here at the bottom of the hour who were not here at the beginning
Of the conversation this it it it goes without saying that when this is Draymond Green it obviously is going to get more focus and more attention how egregious would you describe this night as being incredibly selfish inexcusable and I’m tired of prefacing these moments by saying everything he’s done for the
Organization I’m not going to do that anymore I used to do that every time these conversations came up yeah but where would they be without Dray m not don’t want hear anymore those two things aren’t mutually exclusive right this is inexcusable and here’s why I greeny this
Team is hanging by a rope over a cliff right now yeah and they desperately want to get in and get by the way more than anybody else more than Steve Curry more than the franchise you owe Curry you owe Steph Curry to be out there on this
Night yeah and he just walks four minutes into a game that they have to have and and miraculously they found a way to win the game on a night where they didn’t play particularly well but they played hard and Curry was great late for those of you who haven’t seen
It the most interesting part of it all to me is Steph’s reaction Steph Curry looked so dejected I opened the show but there he is right there and you saw it and at the end of the game when they win he’s kicking over chairs so Draymond got ejected and Steph looked dejected and
That felt like it was very different from previous incidents with him I’ve been around Steph Curry since his time at Davidson legs you spent time with him he’s always an upbeat person he’s always excited about the opportunity that’s that’s the face of somebody who is exhausted they’re mentally exhausted
He’s checked out on Draymond Green you even saw at the end where he comes out of the tunnel draymond’s going night night he dabs him but he just keeps walking like it’s the same old story again and the the one thing I’ll say about it too as it relates to Draymond
It’s diminishing returns at at some point when you’re hanging on by the thread if you’re Mike Dunley you you have to look at the situation and say okay Draymond I get it maybe four or five years ago three years ago you were engaging but right now you’re hurting us
More than you’re helping us yeah those guys are spent they’re spent that’s that what Steph curr’s reaction was absolutely worn out by all of this and now here they find themselves in this tunnel vision of a stretch of games to end the season trying to hold off a team
That’s trying to run them down from behind that is red hot in Houston Rockets and you literally leave your teammates out there by themselves it there’s no other word selfish is the only word that pops in my head and one more first off Kingo wasn’t playing right then then draymond’s out wasn’t it
Only a couple of days ago legs that Steve CER was like I can’t play Steph 35 minutes I so wait wait a second now say you’re telling me in this moment where you’re trying to get geared up to make the Run for the play in tournament you’re trying to reserve your best
Player who’s given as Steve Cur said over 15 years of giving way more to the organization then you do something like this at this moment so it forces Steph to do more when you want him to do less by the way greeny you’re talking about also the two guys most responsible for
Guarding their best player and kaminga is already out the other guys Draymond Green in guarding Pablo banero and and now you leave them short-handed you leave them undersized and somehow miraculously they win the game give them all the credit in the world the weird say one last thingy of course you could
Say many and I were talking about this we’re both hot about this so then Draymond who has a great podcast goes on his podcast most of the time and talks about how good of a teammate he he is think about that contradiction like he’s always talking about how all the things
He stands up for his team but yet he continues to show consistent Behavior at not thinking about his teammates when he’s actually on the floor it’s a it’s the greatest contradiction he’s the he’s the a sample of the best teammate you could possibly have and the worst
Because he operates in his own world of his own emotions at times that absolutely do not put the team first and it’s a team sport this is tennis go ahead man vent at the line judge all you want you’re the only person that’s going to pay the price you’re you play golf
Great scream at your cadd you’re not going to pay a price this is a team sport right they’re counting on you and by the way number 30 has put rings on fingers and money in bank accounts and that guy needs you out there I I I am not in any way not say
Say but no but I’m but please don’t put a butt on the end of this how many times have we seen a moment you brought it up earlier where Draymond just loses it and the next thing you know he’s in a violent confrontation or something
That’s not what this was this was a slow build this was like a slow burn actually it and there’s all it was it took forever he put his hand on the referee but that that was a long timear that what I’m saying is there was ample opportunity like Steph is standing
There um Chris Paul is standing there there’s a bunch of people standing there just listening to him yelling at the referee and now you’re going to tell me that they’re just too exhausted of this to do it but someone I think needs to recognizing What’s Happening Here turn
Around and just forcibly move him away you know how many times they’ve tried to do that though over the course of hist I know but he’s not out of control this you’re saying there’s time for an intervention and I’m saying those guys are acting like the rest of that team is
Acting like you know you got that friend that every time you go out you’re hanging out the guy wants to get in a fight with somebody there he goes again at some point you let him get his ass go ahead there there we go no you’re 1% and
Like hey what do you want me to do and by the way GRE I I hear you on the slow bur on that I can yell at him all day long as soon as I go like that soon as I put my hands on him that’s a different
No again I’m not questioning him getting thrown out I I’m just saying it took it wasn’t like an instantaneous moment in this case where all of a sudden he’s got someone by the neck he’s just yelling and I felt like someone could have gotten in there and just said get the
Hell out of the way and to your point maybe that just illustrates the degree to which these guys just can’t take it anymore all right so there’s more on that as we Go

The draymong defenders are like look at these soft sensitive refs.
Well, draymond probably m-eff and called the refs the best word 19 times in a span on seconds.
You trash draymond defenders π at a real working environment, people get fired for what draymond has been getting away with all these years.
Legler spitting facts
With kerr for years …dray and now chris paul..the refs are done dealing with the warriors
draymond is like my friend who isn't my friend anymore. He was a habitual gambler and drinker. He totaled 2 cars and he wasn't done. He drove after we had a few beers to the casino where he drank more then I drove his irate drunk self home and I never talked to him again
Draymond out here doing segments of how he let a lot of people down after his suspension. He still continues to do that. Steph deserves better. Draymond stupid selfish too even realize that.
Kicking a chair after winning is lame af when he hugs Draymond right after instead of calling him out. Draymond will keep doing it because he knows Curry will be there with a hug & a shoulder to cry on no matter what he does.
Itβs about touching the ref. Talk all ya want.
For someone who claims to be a leader He has absolutely failed as a leader at every turn
They gave Draymond a 15 percent trade kicker and a player option for 27mil in 26-27π
Steph literally had tears in his eyes
A good leader is a good soldier first. Kerr⦠overrated
Steph need to get on bro he the only one can do that
He grabbed the ref. Ref like donβt grab be. Dray said you canβt take that?
Draymond still has time to take away another ring from Steph.
The worst people are the Idgaf people. My arch rivals. Lol
9:11 No team huddle HIGH 5. Left looney and the rookie hangingπππ that sums up the warriors this season.
If a 12-game suspension and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars while the team you supposedly love is struggling doesn't get you the change, nothing will.
I've always been a big Dray fan, but at a certain point, you just can't do it.
steph wasn't checked out. he was trying to keep walking between green and the official to block the official visually from green but the mouth just kept moving lmao
Steph got the patience of a Saint. I woulda been done with that donkey SOOO fkin long ago
Legz was on one today lol! I've never seen him get this animated. Curious to hear what Draymond says about this ejection on his podcast.
I think the Warriors just need to move on from Draymond at this point. We're drifting into a reality where what Draymond gives isn't worth the drama to deal with him. Green WILL NOT be on the team next season. :
Draymond wants to play for his king lebron
πππππ ππππ πππππ ππ ππππ ππ ππ ππππ πππππ. It should not be on Steph. Kerr is the coach, he needs to display a sense of chastisement IN PUBLIC to at least feign that it is happening behind the scenes (which it should be). They have to do something.
Green said in 2023 that his goal is to help Chris Paul win a championship. He is really into that goal.
Stephβs most expensive backpack at it again π
I hope they trade him
Greeny is corny for trying to put this on Curry
lol steph doesnt check him? lol if this were the Lakers everybody would question LeBrons leadership lol
I donβt normally defend Draymond but in this situation youβre telling me he canβt speak to refs?
It's like the classic example of someone who keeps cheating or lying or stealing or __ and comes back and says they'll change. Eventually, you say, "Nah, I'm good. Adios." We're at Adios.
This type of behavior wouldnβt fly in any other profession. As teammates you are not responsible for a grown manβs inability to remove himself from a situation, before he escalates it at the teamβs detriment.
That's a terrible take my Tim. I absolutely respect most of his takes. I don't agree with this one at all. Draymond is just too emotional and can't get out of feelings.
Cancer
Women in child birth are less emotional than Draymond
At least he can dye his hair and be entertaining
Itβs crazy how the media trained u ppl to really believe dray has a mental problem. Ya need to stop puttying that on his name fr
everyone knows Draymond wants to go LA to cup Lebron. he doesnt care if they win
Curry is going to break his back
Draymond has literally punched a teammate in the face and you think another on wants to step in and potentially have that outcome happen to them greeny
Trading him is the solution, the problem is …no team would want him
