Draymond Green blames Russell Westbrook for starting acting in NBA
Draymond Green did not take kindly to Russell Westbrook’s assertion that his kick to the groin of Steven Adams was intentional. In fact, Green turned his fire on him.
Westbrook said after Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals that Green hit Adams in the groin on purpose. Green, who contended that the contact was an accident as he was playing up a foul call (video here), asserted that that practice was perpetuated by Westbrook himself.
Draymond Green: "Russell said I did it on purpose but he's a part of the superstar group that started all this acting in the NBA."

Draymond Green said Russell Westbrook flailed and struck him before the end of the first half, it just wasn't in the groin.

Green is on the defensive, but this is all getting pretty flimsy. His only defense is that he was acting and the contact was incidental, and even if his accusations about Westbrook are true, two wrongs don’t make a right. He’s in serious danger of being suspended for a pivotal Game 4
