Some Golden State Warriors fans are blaming Draymond Green for their 102-97 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3. The Warriors were already at a disadvantage with Steph Curry out with an injury, and Green made it worse with his blunder in the fourth quarter.

Golden State was in it to win in the first three and a half quarters of Game 3 at the Chase Center. However, Green was called for two personal fouls in a span of one minute and was disqualified from the game with around four minutes in regulation.

The Warriors were short-handed for the rest of the night, with the Timberwolves outscoring the hosts 18-15 after Green's sixth foul. Steve Kerr didn't have any challenges left, so they had no way of reversing the call.

Some Golden State Warriors are pointing the blame at Draymond Green for not being smart defensively, knowing that he was on thin ice. Green also put a target on his back after his comments after Game 2.

"Draymond, you are an embarrassment to this team," a fan tweeted.
"Dray should be embarrassed," one fan claimed.
"Dray should feel shame," another fan remarked.
"Can’t wait for Draymond to be off this damn team. Ruined this game for us," a fan wrote.

"I’m sick of Draymond Green. It’s his fault," one fan commented.
"Another pathetic Draymond performance. Spent entire game crying to a ref who does not care about your complaints," another fan pointed out.

Draymond Green had a good game defensively in the first three quarters, but his fourth-quarter performance was a letdown. He also committed five turnovers, so that didn't help the Warriors in any way.


Jimmy Butler's agent defends Draymond Green

While Draymond Green deserves some blame being thrown at him by fans, he was also called for a questionable blocking foul for his fourth personal foul. The Golden State Warriors challenged the ruling, but chief crew Scott Foster didn't overturn the questionable call.

Jimmy Butler's agent, Bernard Lee, defended his client's teammate by pointing out that it was a clear charge.

"He literally checked all the basketball god boxes for a charge… he traveled when he caught it, extended his arm and then dribbled it off his foot. What are we even doing here," Lee tweeted.

Green, Butler and the Warriors have a chance to tie the series in Game 4 on Monday at the Chase Center.
