"House Money Is Running Out”: Former NBA Player Raises Concerns About Alarming Draymond Green Behavior as Tempers Flared With Steve Kerr

Eddie Johnson expressed his concerns about Draymond Green's alarming behaviour after the Dubs star got into a verbal altercation with Steve Kerr on the bench in the Warriors' 120-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday. Green walked off to the locker room after a heated conversation with his coach.

A fan shared a video of Green clearing the air on his altercation with Kerr during the postgame interview. Johnson retweeted the video with his opinion on the Warriors star's behaviour. The former Rockets player criticized Green for his behaviour in the last two games.

"Draymond has house money (4 Titles) to sit up after a game and brush this off. Now let’s say if Kuminga or Moody did that? What Draymond does not realize is the house money is running out! No they are not alright with this behavior last 2 games!" Johnson wrote.

"Tempers spilled over. I just thought it was best that I get out of there. I don't think there was a situation where it was going to get better. So it was just best to remove myself...sh*t happens. We move forward. We alright," Green said.

Draymond Green played 18 minutes against the Magic and scored nine points, collected seven rebounds and dished out two assists.
