Count the man who was kicked as someone who thinks Draymond Green's legwork Sunday night was intentional.
Thunder center Steven Adams told reporters Monday that watching replays of Green's kick to his groin "confirmed" to him that the act was intentional.
When asked if an apology from Green would mean anything, Adams was straight to the point.
"No," he said. "Wouldn't matter."
The Warriors forward said Monday that he would try to apologize to Adams if he had the chance, but has stuck to the story that the incident in the second quarter of the 133-105 Game 3 Warriors loss wasn't intentional.
However, the two players had a brief encounter after the game on Sunday, according to Uninterrupted. Adams was reportedly receptive to Green.

Adams added Monday that he'd consider wearing a protective cup "due to the consistency of the hits," according to ESPN's Royce Young. He also took a Green knee to the groin in Game 2, though it wasn't as blatant.
Protective cups - better known as jockstraps - aren't used as widely in basketball as in football and hockey, mostly for mobility and comfort reasons.
