Draymond Green, Steve Kerr disagree on how 'careful' Green should be

Published May. 24, 2016 8:53 p.m. ET

After escaping a suspension for Game 4, but edging closer to one if he gets another flagrant foul, logic dictates that Draymond Green would change his approach against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But according to Green, that's not the case. He's going to play the way he always plays -- with passion, aggression, energy and physicality. Anything else would be against his character.

Steve Kerr disagrees with that sentiment, though.

On the contrary, he believes Green indeed needs to be careful, as any slip-up will result in a costly loss -- a Green suspension -- that the Warriors would like to avoid at this point in the season (via the Mercury News):

While some Warriors fans may side with Kerr and disapprove of Green's answer, Green has a point.

If he adjusts his style of play, and begins over-thinking things or playing timidly, he won't be as effective. If he continues to play the way he does, he may eventually get suspended, but he'll be a far better during his time on the floor.

At the same time, Kerr is right. Green needs to rein it in a little bit and be smarter with his efforts. It's a delicate balance. But the Warriors' title odds likely hinge on it.
