The story around Game 1 was the horrific officiating. The story around Game 2 mostly centered around James Harden’s eye injury and Stephen Curry‘s dislocated finger. Now, the story heading into Game 3 is around Golden State questioning the severity of Harden’s eye injury.
Just when the Warriors couldn’t stoop any lower, they surprise us all once again. Draymond Green, who is known for poking opposing star players in the eye and kicking players in the groin, poked Harden in the eyes in Game 2. It didn’t look intentional and was likely an honest mistake, but Harden missed about a quarter of Game 2 and was diagnosed with a contusion in both eyes and a laceration on his left eyelid.
