NBA fans berate Warriors forward for Flagrant foul on Zach Edey - "Draymond Green being dirty??? Woulda never guessed" 

Warriors forward Draymond Green tangled with Zach Edey during the Warriors' 121-113 victory on Saturday night and NBA fans were bemused by his actions.

Green, who is infamous for his on-court actions, fouled the Memphis Grizzlies rookie early in the fourth quarter and was assessed a Flagrant Foul Penalty 1, much to his chagrin.

The two players had to be separated by referees after a brief shoving match. This was not the end of the chippy exchange as Draymond Green delighted in saying "Ball don't lie" as the 7-foot-4 big man missed his first free throw.

"Draymond being dirty?? Would have never guessed" - Posted one fan

"Draymond embarrassed from last time when Edey threw him around like a rag doll and it was all over social media" - Quipped another fan

"Draymond is not a victim, but always wants to cry like one. We expect nothing less from Draymond" - Said another fan

"Draymond “Cheap Shot” Green 😭" - Replied another fan

"I'm so tired of Draymond Green" - Vented another fan

"Draymond deserves it. Nothing he does is innocent" - Argued another fan

The flagrant foul on Draymond Green was his ninth of the season, eight short of his highest single season tally of 17.

The Warriors (18-16) improved to eighth place in the Western Conference with their win on Saturday night and are set to play Sacramento Kings on Sunday night in the second game of a back-to-back.

What has Draymond Green said about Zach Edey?

Zach Edey was the preseason favorite to win Rookie of the Year and has consolidated his position since averaging 10.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game on a resurgent Grizzlies team.

Draymond Green had some unkind words to say about the NBA's tallest and heaviest player in the aftermath of a similar incident on Nov. 15. Eerily reminiscent of Saturday's incident, Green hard-fouled Edey, which was later upgraded to a Flagrant 1.

When Edey complained about Green's underhanded play, the former Defensive Player of the Year labeled him 'soft' on his podcast.

"He's big enough to possibly have fooled people that he could be a little tough, and now nobody believes you," Green said of Edey. "Now Joel Embiid gonna like try to put his chest into the stanchion just to see... Ya'll gotta stop breeding these soft dudes man. Stop making these guys turn out to be snitches and soft and going to tell, because you are a big man."

The two players have made their dislike for one another apparent and nearly came to blows in two of the first three clashes of the season, making their next contest on April 1, one to watch out for.
