Knowing that I only had one day between Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals, I wrote down some of the possible story lines people were discussing leading up to Game 3. On my pre-game sheet, I had the following:
- Draymond Green: Would his comments about earning “deferential treatment” from the refs after Game 2 lead to increased scrutiny from the officiating crew? Would that increased scrutiny lead him to ease up or would he play his normal confrontational game that walks the line between disrupting the opponent and his own team?
