Draymond Green is one of the biggest fake tough guys in the NBA. Wish someone like Oakdogg was still playing to knock the smirk of this dude's face.
Seems like a massive overreaction by Green. Although Jones could have come back and dapped him and told him "My bad" but still Green could have just left it at that. Either way, dislike both players and both teams and hope they beat each other up and lose multiple players to suspensions and get out of the Rockets way.:grin::grin::grin:

The only thing that was thuggish was Green's response. If he didn't stop talking and stare at Jones, then go on a 5 minute tirade in the post-game, I'm not sure anyone would have noticed the bump.
Jones did it on purpose, but Teeth's whining on about it afterwards and probably GS contacting the NBA office made it a bigger deal then it was. Makes Draymond Teeth look like a crybaby afterwards. Not too fond of the Daddy's Boys Duo (Splash Brothers sounds stupid) either, them and Teeth are soft finesse players that need some 80's NBA to rough them up.
As Rick Fox said on GameTime there was "a lot of court he coulda walked on". Clearly he changed his direction to bump arms. Silly at any point past 5th grade, but on national tv? During one of the NBA's main marketing efforts of the post game interview? No way he walks away clean from that. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pf2UDWz2-BI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It looked to me like he was messing around because Green was in the middle of an interview. Just a little playful knock to distract Green while he was on TV. Maybe he didn't realize they didn't have that kind of relationship.
Yeah, because he missed to big lights with a huge camera perched on a guy and the only woman on the court interviewing the starting power forward of the winning away team. I don't LOL but when I do, its for that.
The comments here and in all GSW-related threads...oh boy. Please be objective sometimes, if someone did this to a Rockets player he'd be the new CF villain and people would scream for fines and retaliation. Comments like this make you people look like teenagers that talk about a guy that bangs their crush.
That is exactly what the NBA is doing: creating drama. If they don't fine Jones, I don't think we ever look back and remember this moment. A fine makes for a sensational title. I would have fined $5k though. Even that sounds like way too much for a small bump, but it was on national television. Dahntay should really know better...
