Not only is Draymond Green carrying the burden of making up for his Game 5 absence, Green also has to perform in Game 6 without resorting to his antics.

Green could be suspended for a potential Game 7 if he picks up yet another flagrant foul, but Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reassured fans that his fiery Swiss Army knife will keep his composure.

"I don't think he can be goaded into anything tonight," Kerr said of Green prior to Game 6.

Green picked up his fourth flagrant point of the postseason for slapping LeBron James below the belt in the dying moments of Game 4. James pushed Green to the ground and stepped over him, and Green took the bait.

That made for the intended effect as Green's absence helped the Cleveland Cavaliers stave off elimination in Game 5 - although James claims that he didn't know Green was on the verge of suspension.

"I think he's gonna give it everything he got tonight. I'm not worried about him getting into any trouble," Kerr added.
