NBA: 5 Reasons Why The Golden State Warriors Could Be Dethroned

#3 Possible suspensions from technicals and ejections

Draymond Green

The technical fouls and ejections might be a result of a league-wide unrest between the players and referees this year but unfortunately, the Warriors have led the charge. They rank third in team technicals (48), only behind the Oklahoma City Thunder (57) and the Phoenix Suns (52). While that's some consolation, when it comes to ejections, they top the charts with 9 (the second-ranked team has 4).

Within the team, it should come as no surprise who leads the band. Reigning Defensive Player of the year, Draymond Green has 14 technicals (leads the league) and 3 ejections (second in the league) to this name, that's two technicals away from a suspension. That's not all. Every technical after he receives his 16th forces another one-game suspension. Everybody knows what happened the last time he got suspended for a game due to too many technicals - the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

Reigning Finals MVP Kevin Durant isn't far behind too. He leads the league with his 4 ejections and is currently tied-third with Dwight Howard for technicals (11).

There are still 24 games to go in the regular season and then there is the postseason. This might not affect them in the regular season but come Playoff time, they have to keep their composure and fight through adversity rather than costing their team with their reactions towards the referees.
