Draymond Green dapping up Steph Curry after his ejection and smiling into the camera became an instant meme

Draymond greeting Steph and looking right at us all became a perfect meme.

Draymond Green continues to do things that are the most frustrating.

Sure, he’s still one of the most important members of the Golden State Warriors as they continue to try to win championships. But even after an indefinite suspension, he’s still doing dangerous stuff or getting ejected in must-win games like he was on Wednesday night.

After Steph Curry’s tearful reaction to that, the Dubs won anyway, and the Warriors posted video of Curry and Green dapping up in the tunnel … and the funniest screengrab showed Green looking RIGHT into the camera, as if to wink to everyone.

That, naturally, became a meme:

Draymond Green argued himself into an absurdly early ejection during a must-win Warriors game

Draymond Green just can’t help himself.

The Golden State Warriors’ season is already hanging in the balance, and it sure seems like Draymond Green is opting out of their playoff push.

You hear it when he gives the surging Houston Rockets bulletin board material while his team struggles. You see it when he recklessly throws his arm around Patty Mills’ neck. And you especially see it when he argues himself (with two technicals) out of a tough Wednesday battle with the Orlando Magic less than four minutes into the game … just a night later!

No wonder Steph Curry seemed so emotional. After all their success, this must be what it’s like watching the Warriors crumble in real-time:

I don’t know what’s going on with the Warriors. I really don’t know what’s going on with Green. But both better get it together before it’s too late.

A shaken Steph Curry was seen crying after Draymond Green’s extremely early ejection

We never see Steph Curry this emotional.

To say it’s been a rough season for the Golden State Warriors would be an understatement. Less than two years removed from winning their fourth NBA championship, the Warriors are locked in a heated battle for the final play-in spots in the Western Conference.

And at this point in the season, every little misstep can have dire consequences.

On Wednesday night, just one evening after Draymond Green’s latest antics invited more suspension talks, the Golden State forward got himself ejected less than four minutes into a battle against the Orlando Magic. Given where the Warriors are in the standings, they could ill afford to lose one of their best players against a tough Eastern Conference opponent.

It appears Steph Curry is well aware of the potentially bleak reality that awaits the Warriors because he was seen full-blown crying after Green’s ejection:

Oof. That’s the look of a man who seems to know he’s watching the end of a Golden Warriors era in real time while one of his teammates continually doesn’t have his eye on the prize. What a grim time for the Warriors.

Warriors’ Steph Curry drops 31 points in return vs. Lakers

After missing three games with an ankle injury, Steph Curry returned to the court against the Lakers with a 31-point performance.

The Golden State Warriors posted a 1-2 record without Stephen Curry (ankle) for a three-game stretch. The All-Star point guard made his highly anticipated return to the court on Saturday in a pivotal matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers in Hollywood.

With Curry’s return, the long-time rivalry between LeBron James and the Lakers picked right up where it left off. James and Curry battled throughout, trading clutch buckets in a game that will play a role in the Western Conference race for the play-in tournament.

Curry led the Warriors with 31 points on 12-of-24 shooting from the field with three 3-pointers to go along with six rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during the Warriors’ 128-121 win over the Lakers.

James recorded a game-high 40 points on 15-of-23 shooting from the field with nine assists and eight rebounds.

Steph Curry exits game vs. Bulls after rolling ankle

The Warriors All-Star point guard exited Thursday’s game against the Bulls in the fourth quarter after rolling his ankle.

On the way to dropping a rough loss to the Chicago Bulls at home on Thursday night, Golden State Warriors All-Star point guard Steph Curry exited the game with an apparent ankle injury.

Late in the fourth quarter, Curry appeared to roll his ankle. He attempted to jog down the court, but quickly exited the game. Curry later left the court for the locker room.

Lindsay Lohan explains why Steph and Ayesha Curry are her son’s godparents

This is a fun connection.

Hey, this is a fun little connection: Lindsay Lohan — who just had her son, 7-month-old Luai — has given the title of godparents to … Steph and Ayesha Curry.

It’s not because she’s a Golden State Warriors fan (although I’ll take a wild guess and say that it’s Luai who will become a Dubs die-hard). No, it’s because — as she explained to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show — she became friends with Ayesha through chef Michael Mina. They hit it off while in Dubai and now the Currys are Luai’s godparents!

How lovely! Check out the clip of Lohan explaining it all below:

Watch: Steph Curry debuts golf celebration after deep 3-pointer vs. Bucks

Steph Curry showed off his golf swing after drilling a deep 3-pointer against the Bucks.

After scoring only four points in a blowout loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, Steph Curry wasted no time getting going on Wednesday evening against the Milwaukee Bucks.

On the way to scoring 10 points in the first quarter, Curry buried a pair of 3-pointers in the opening 12 minutes. Following a deep triple from way beyond the arc, Curry debuted a new celebration.

While he has the shimmy, the no-look turnaround and the night-night celebration, on Wednesday, Curry broke out the golf shot. After his 3-pointer, Curry stepped into the tee box and mimicked his golf swing on the basketball court.

Via @NBCSWarriors on Twitter:

Curry finished the first half with 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting with three made 3-pointers in 17 minutes. Curry tacked on six boards and three assists while the Warriors took a 78-58 lead over the Bucks into halftime.

A somber Steph Curry openly accepted the Warriors’ fall from grace after the Celtics pasted them

Steph Curry won’t lie to himself.

It wasn’t all that long ago when the Golden State Warriors were the class of the NBA. Heck, they won a championship as recently as two years ago. But when a fall from grace happens, it’s usually never gradual. It’s more akin to a dive off a cliff.

On Sunday, the Boston Celtics, a team many believe is one of the NBA’s cream-of-the-crop title contenders this season, absolutely pasted Curry’s Warriors. After about six minutes of roughly even first-quarter play, the Celtics opened up the floodgates on Golden State, eventually winning 140-88 in a wire-to-wire laugher.

When asked about what went wrong for the Warriors after the loss, Steph Curry wouldn’t lie to himself.

He resigned himself to the Celtics’ prolific firepower, and when noting that’s what the Warriors used to do to teams at their peak, it almost felt like he was acknowledging Golden State’s time at the top of the league was probably over:

By no means are the Warriors irrelevant. They will be at the forefront of NBA conversations as long as they have Curry shooting lights-out most nights and a still somewhat promising nucleus. But they’re also ninth in the Western Conference right now, a team firmly in the play-in. They’re just 3-11 against teams that have a 60 percent winning percentage or better (read: the NBA’s best teams). Perhaps most importantly, no team has ever lost by at least 50 points in the regular season and gone on to win the title.

Golden State does have a relatively soft schedule down the stretch and will likely make some kind of noise this spring. But at the very least, it’s probably fair to write the Warriors off as a dominant juggernaut that can make it to the Finals in June. That time feels over.
