00:00 where we thought Donnie on this Wednesday morning, the headline would be maybe the first

00:05 time we had seen the new super team out in the valley, the trio of Kevin Durant, Devin

00:10 Booker and Bradley Beal all playing together, or at least the headline being Bradley Beal

00:15 back in action for the Phoenix Suns.

00:18 But the main headline is not the final score or how many minutes or points Bradley Beal

00:23 logged yesterday in his return for the Suns.

00:26 It's Draymond Green ejected very early on in this basketball game in Phoenix for a spinning

00:33 slap punch, whatever you want to call it.

00:36 A blatant hit to the face of Yusuf Nurkic for Phoenix led to Draymond Green's third

00:43 ejection of the year.

00:45 We'll get to the result.

00:46 We'll get to the stats.

00:47 We'll get to Bradley Beal's return in just a moment.

00:50 But Donnie, what do you believe the NBA league office is going to do with Draymond Green?

00:54 His third ejection in the 2023-24 NBA season and the Warriors have played just 23 games.

01:02 Yeah, repeat offenders tend to get more harsh penalties.

01:05 That's usually the way it is.

01:06 And if you've never done it before, it's OK.

01:08 We'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

01:09 Maybe you lost your mind.

01:10 But then in the postgame press conference, I always find it hilarious.

01:13 Now, guys are never going to admit this.

01:15 If you take a look at Major League Baseball, pitcher clearly throwing at a batter.

01:19 What does he say postgame?

01:20 Pitcher's got away from me because he's not an idiot.

01:22 He's not going to say like, of course.

01:23 I was trying to send a message to that guy because it all was like, good, we're going

01:26 to give you three.

01:27 Now we're going to be 13 games at this point.

01:29 But still, Draymond Green saying, you know, you know, I didn't mean to do it.

01:33 There was no way I was trying to make contact with his face when literally spun, punched

01:37 him right directly in the jaw with a perfect strike there.

01:40 And we've seen Draymond do that before.

01:41 But he's also can't play out the well, you know, just flailing around in this happen.

01:45 How many times you're going to flail around by kicking people below the belt, punching

01:49 them in the face or even punching your own teammates in the face?

01:52 You can apologize so much.

01:53 But if you are the NBA, this should be a crackdown here.

01:56 This wasn't a hard foul, a flagrant foul that you could sort of sell like, hey, I was going

02:00 for the ball here.

02:01 This was an away from the play, off the ball contact to the face that basically knocked

02:06 a man out in the NBA.

02:07 It'll be interesting to see the way the NBA handles that.

02:10 I don't think it's going to be quote unquote superstar treatment that says, hey, you know

02:13 what?

02:14 He's one of the stars in the league.

02:15 You can't do this and penalize him too much.

02:16 No, you should be able to lay down the smack down the law here on Draymond Green again
