The rest of the basketball world's opinion be damned, Draymond Green and his head coach maintain that Green's Game 3 kick to Steven Adams' groin was completely unintentional.
In fact, Green and Steve Kerr both said following Sunday's loss that they feel there's a greater chance Green will have his flagrant foul rescinded than there is that the versatile forward will be suspended.

"I don't know how anyone could possibly say I did that on purpose," Green said of the first-half incident, which sent Adams crumpling to the floor and the Oklahoma City crowd into a frenzy.
Green was assessed a Flagrant-1 foul for kicking out and connecting with Adams' groin - while getting fouled himself - on a play under the basket midway through the second quarter.
While the officials reviewed the play, a raucous Chesapeake Arena crowd chanted "kick him out," to no avail.
Green, who was also involved in a play that resulted in a knee to Adams' groin in Game 2, plead his innocence Sunday night.
"I'm sure he wants to have kids someday," Green said of Adams. "I'm not trying to end that on a basketball court."
Earlier on Sunday, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dahntay Jones was suspended one game for striking Toronto Raptors big man Bismack Biyombo in the groin.
