Goooood morning, Winners! Welcome back to the Morning Win. Thanks so much for rocking with us today. We appreciate you giving us a bit of your time.
Many of you probably didn’t watch the entire Warriors game on Wednesday, but I’m certain you’ve seen clips of Draymond Green getting himself ejected just four (!!!!!) minutes into Golden State’s game against the Magic.
It was so silly, man. Officials called an obvious foul on Andrew Wiggins, who was guarding Paolo Banchero. Green went over to complain about the foul. OK. Fine. Players do that all the time.

This has become way too common. Green is still an excellent defensive player and a key contributor to the Warriors’ offensive flow. But, man. The bad is beginning to catch up to the good. He’s just not dependable anymore. Maybe he never was — he couldn’t even hold himself together in the NBA Finals.
But the Warriors need him. Steph…
