Draymond Green has made himself public enemy number one in Boston after his antics in the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors have.
Here is hoping that we just get to enjoy some great basketball the rest of the way. It might have altered the outcome of this game itself as Tatum went on to finish with 26 points. While it is one thing to play mind games to try to put your opponents off their game, doing something like this is so out of bounds. the man is out there playing mma with a couple illegal screens & dump off assists" Refs need to stop playing helpless victims and set the game straight." Things didn't quite go as well in Game 3, however, as the Celtics overwhelmed the Warriors in the fourth quarter to win 116-100 and take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Draymond Green was serenaded with F-bombs in Game 3. His coach and a star teammate didn't like it. Read more on Boston.com.
What’s the Xs and Os that I say on the podcast?” “Monty, how much Xs and Os did you get from the podcast? “Nah, I don’t say much different on the podcast than I say to you right here,” Green said. We like to play by the term, ‘Make them play left-handed’ and I don’t think we did that tonight. “But we like to make teams play left-handed. “If that’s Xs and Os, then I don’t – you’re reaching for something. “Not enough force, but I’ve just got to find a rhythm quicker.” “That was just contested shots,” Green said. “It was not a factor [in the loss],” Warriors star guard Klay Thompson added. Green’s performance certainly gave the Celtics’ crowd a lot to cheer for. “Not really my job to react to them. They did what I expected.”
Celtics fans repeatedly chanted "F*** you, Draymond" and "Draymond sucks" at Warriors forward Draymond Green in Game 3 of the NBA Finals last night.
Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd. He also got into a skirmish with Jaylen Brown and trash-talked Grant Williams in the process. The Warriors forward has become the NBA’s top heel.
That would be a normal level of dirty … but Tatum's right shoulder was injured during the Eastern Conference Finals and may have gotten it hurt again in Game 2 ...
Being a Warriors fan must be relatively easy, at least compared to most other teams in any other sport. You already have three championships in the bag.
You know that he knows it, and it must be more upsetting to think that he doesn’t know. You watch Draymond’s highest total on a night be his fouls and conversations with refs and there have to be palpitations. It’s not always on the cover of the magazine, but it’s there in the middle if you look for it. It’s not going in, and you know it, and something must’ve gone wrong for it to have happened at all. If you know your shit, then you know all the things that Draymond Green does that helps the Warriors win. They’re still there, they’re just shrouded in people who want to be part of the party.
Klay Thompson and Hazel Renee were thinking about the children after the Warriors' Game 3 loss to the Celtics.
He also explained that he usually likes playing the villain "but didn't really feed off of it tonight." The @nba has the audacity to have a whole code of conduct card at every seat about their fans and their behavior and how they could be ejected from a game or banned but a whole crowd/section/numerous people get to chant F**k YOU DRAYMOND or call him a B**** or MF?! And nothing?? But Thompson isn't alone in his opinion of the crowd.

They did what I expected." Just shameful!" "Warriors fans would NEVER!! My kids were at the game tonight hearing that mess!

"The NBA has the audacity to have a whole code of conduct card at every seat about fans and their behavior and how they could be ejected....but a whole crowd/section/numerous people get to chant F**K YOU DRAYMOND or call him a B**** or MF?! Chants like the ones echoing through TD Garden Wednesday were nothing unusual for a major sports arena, especially during a playoff game. Good job, Boston."
Draymond Green said he played "like s***" after the Golden State Warriors lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics.
“You know, he always bounces back from losses and from tough nights individually. “I trust Draymond as much as I trust anybody,” Warriors coach Kerr said. But he was unusually unimpactful defensively and worse offensively.
Draymond Green got a lot of praise for helping the Golden State Warriors win Game 2 of the NBA Finals. His excellent play on defense was hailed as one of ...
"Look like Draymond was more prepped for his post game podcast than the actual game. His only good performance so far helped them win their only game and they'll need more of that if they are to win the championship. It was even pointed out that Green had more podcast episodes than games with double-digit points, rebounds, or assists in this postseason run and Kendrick Perkins took a shot at Draymond after the game as well.

NBA legend and TNT analyst Charles Barkley wasn't amused by some recent comments that Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green made.
“I respect these guys, they were officials for 30 years, and they said he should have been tossed a long time ago. Barkley added that Green's recent fouling against the Celtics where he avoided ejection really annoyed some former NBA officials he spoke to. Green recently asserted that he gets preferential treatment from officials during games and doesn't worry about getting ejected for being too physical.
Draymond Green would have received swift payback for his antics from opposing players in the 1980s and '90s, according to Charles Barkley.
"I let him know in the first five minutes of the game, yo, man, you come out here with any BS I'm going to clock your ass. "Anytime I played against Dennis Rodman I would just knock the hell out of him early in the first quarter, like, hey, I'm not here screwing around. The next game is Friday night.
Draymond Green played “like s--t” in Game 3. He admitted it. So when Stephen A. Smith went on “First Take” this morning, there was a good chance Green would ...
You’ve got to change that.” “You’ve got to show up,” Smith asserted. But you’ve got to play. Klay Thompson needs you bro. Steph Curry needs you bro. “Because Game 1 you didn’t show up.

Draymond Green believes he plays best when he's just himself on the court, but that didn't happen during the Warriors' Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics on ...
“And I did the exact opposite of what I said I was going to do or what I needed to do. I’m not going to give the referees a chance to call a tech’ and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Coming into the game, you know, you hear all the noise and the noise gets closer and closer to you and it’s like, ‘Hey, you can’t get into it with the refs’ and, ‘Hey, you have to be very careful, you can’t go into the game like this.’
After losing Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Finals 116-100 to the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green said on his podcast that it was his ...
I did the exact opposite of what I said I was going to do or what I needed to do.” “For us, I think our point of attack, our defense at the point of attack, has to be better,” Draymond said. I did not have the type of force I need to have in order for us to win at this level,” Green went on to explain. This is a concerning sight for the Warriors’ defense and Green knows that his impact directly affects his team’s play on that end of the floor. Tonight may have been one of the worst games of my career.” In 35 minutes, Green finished with just 2 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and he ended up fouling out late in the fourth quarter.

“It was not a factor,” Thompson said of the abuse directed at Green. “We’ve played in front of rude people before. “Very classy.” “Classy,” Kerr said. “Obviously it can affect them, and I understand that,” Green said. Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd. That’s just what it has to be, channel and focus all my energy there.
Draymond Green was his toughest critic, saying he played "like sh*t" in Golden State's Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
That version of Draymond Green was nowhere to be seen in Game 3 aside from a brief, tense interaction he had with Williams in the second quarter. Green forced a jump ball just seconds into the first quarter. The former Michigan State Spartan finished the Warriors’ 116-100 loss with two points, four rebounds, and three assists before fouling out in 35 minutes of action.
Following Golden State's loss to Boston in Game 3, haters and critics lined up in force to call out Draymond Green's performance.
With Game 4 set for Friday, it will be interesting to see how the Warriors respond. I don't think they have LeBron James, but they do have some All-NBA guys in Tatum. Jaylen Brown is knocking on the door." "Just being down 2-1 in a championship series,"Thompson said, via CJ Peterson of Sports Illustrated. "We've been in this situation before.

Boston's point guard is the real Mean Green Machine.
If Green doesn’t pull out a few throwback performances in the Finals, the Warriors will have to consider what to do with him before he becomes an albatross on the payroll and on the floor. Through three games in the Finals, Green is shooting 36 percent from the field, 0-for-7 from distance and has scored only 15 points– in the entire series. Smart put up a true stinker in Game 2, scoring only two points, but in Boston’s pair of Finals wins, he’s been a net-positive on both ends scoring 42 points on 53 percent shooting, draining 50 percent of his triples and distributed nine assists. Green still has his moments, but they’re becoming fewer and far between. And in Game 3, Warriors shooters were 0-for-9 when defended by Smart. However, Smart has turned into the offensive threat that Green gave hints of becoming during the 2016 postseason. This postseason, he’s averaging single digits in points and rebounds on atrocious shooting splits. Yet, an essential aspect of being a contender’s top guard dog is being a neutral offensive playmaker so that opposing defenses can’t throw extra bodies at their stars on the other end. Smart labeled himself the NBA’s first stretch-6 as a sixth man who could defend 1-5 in a 6-foot-4 guard’s body but moving to point guard is what boosted his placement in the NBA hierarchy. Like Green, Smart has served as the emotional fulcrum for Boston. Every championship caliber team needs a rugged, fiery, and sometimes cantankerous leader. They don’t want to pass the ball and that’s something they’re going to learn. Green became a linchpin in Golden State as their irreplaceable point-center for the past eight seasons. He sets bone-crushing screens, switches onto all five positions, and his playmaking stirs the drink.
Ex-Celtic Cedric Maxwell and Draymond Green got into a verbal squabble about the physicality of the NBA now compared to the '80s and '90s era.
“One thing that baffles me about the 80s or 90s … some of the guys that be talking weren't the guys that was punching people,” Green said. In the 80s he would've got knocked the (expletive) out!" In Green’s media availability on Tuesday, he responded by explaining how today’s NBA is more skilled and does not resemble basketball from decades ago.
Those were essentially the words of Warriors All-Star forward Draymond Green, who uploaded a podcast titled "Warriors-Celtics NBA Finals Game 3 Reaction: 'I ...
After another poor showing in Game 3, we'll see if Green can again answer his own call as the Warriors face a must-win scenario. Green then challenged those that said he shouldn't be podcasting, asking "so, what should I be doing when I get to my room? Cause I'm going to be doing that anyway … I wanna know the real answer from people that say 'Draymond shouldn't be podcasting.'"
