Will Steve Kerr lead?\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"398\" data-start=\"84\">Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is sending a clear message to Draymond Green. After Green picked up his fifth technical foul of the postseason during Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kerr didn&#8217;t hold back in his post-game comments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"673\" data-start=\"400\">\u201cHe&#8217;s gonna have to be careful now,\u201d Kerr said bluntly. \u201cIt&#8217;s part of Draymond. The same thing that makes him such a competitor and winner puts him over the top sometimes. We know that. It&#8217;s our job to try and help him stay poised\u2026 Occasionally, he goes over the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1188\" data-start=\"675\">Green&#8217;s fifth tech came after a heated exchange with Timberwolves forward Naz Reid, which escalated into the 6&#8217;6 forward delivering an elbow to Reid&#8217;s face. The foul was called immediately, marking yet another addition to Green&#8217;s long list of on-court flare-ups. For the Warriors, the timing couldn&#8217;t be worse. With Stephen Curry currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Green\u2019s presence is more vital than ever. Two more technicals, and Green is looking at an automatic suspension, a huge blow that could tilt the series.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Golden State Warriors NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1473\" data-start=\"1190\">The Warriors are already feeling the heat. Their Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves was anything but close, ending in a 117\u201393 blowout. Green finished the night with nine points, five assists, and four rebounds in 29 minutes, but his emotional outburst overshadowed his contributions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1832\" data-start=\"1475\">Kerr&#8217;s message is loud and clear. The team cannot afford to lose Green, especially now. With the series tied at 1\u20131, the Warriors will head back to Chase Center for Game 3 on Saturday, May 10, with hopes of regaining control. But if Green&#8217;s emotions boil over again, the Warriors could find themselves facing a pivotal game without their emotional leader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"2052\" data-start=\"1834\">For a player like Draymond, walking that fine line between intensity and implosion is nothing new. But with the stakes this high, Kerr&#8217;s warning is lifeline for the Warriors&#8217; playoff hopes.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a suspension looming, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr warns Draymond Green to stay composed after his fifth technical foul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":60032,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9,10,1939,45,1630,96],"class_list":["post-60031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-draymond-green","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-minnesota-timberwolves","tag-nba","tag-nba-playoffs","tag-steve-kerr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Warriors&#039;
