The Golden State Warriors only need one more game to clinch their third NBA title in four years, and Draymond Green sees it just like that.
Draymond Green already has five technicals during the playoffs, and he can only get six before a suspension comes his way for this seventh technical foul.
Draymond Green: “The way I’m approaching it, there’s one game left. So I’ve got two (technicals) to play with for one game.”

Green's mindset is what the Warriors should want: act like there's only one game on the line for a championship, so essentially, like it's a Game 7.
“I’m still going to be who I am,” Green said via The Mercury News. “That’s what has made me the player that I am. No one tech is going to stop that. If I’m going to let one tech stop that, I might as well hit the sack and go sit in the locker room.”
In Game 3 he picked up a double-technical foul early in the game after getting into with Tristan Thompson. Less than a minute later he picked up a foul on Thompson, and Draymond stormed off, but the refs held off on giving him his second technical of the game.
Green has figured out a way to play the game with the refs, and it seems that he can get away with more yelling then most players, and he plays it to his advantage.
The Michigan State forward might have two techs to work with in Game 4, but he still needs to be careful because he has gotten away with a lot this series.
The one thing that the Warriors also can't afford is Green to get ejected or suspended, because of his presence on the defensive end of the floor.
