The Warriors forward continues to be the center of drama both on and off the court in this year's NBA playoffs.
Just go ahead and play the game.” Just play the game. Green’s mother Mary Babers-Green, however, thinks the Celtics players are to blame for the on-court drama, specifically Boston’s Jaylen Brown. She did not appreciate the Celtics forward saying that Green should’ve been ejected during the game.
Maxwell and Green have engaged in a back-and-forth over the Warriors' style of play versus physicality in the '80s.
Golden State shook it off to tie the series with a 107-88 blowout in Game 2, but Maxwell was not impressed with the way Green chose to play. "Some of the guys that be talking weren't the guys that was punching people," Green said. Needless to say, Maxwell was not a fan of this response. "There were a few guys back then that would lay you out, that would knock you out, that would foul you and get thrown out the game: Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn. But everyone running around acting like they were that. Boston started the series in dominating fashion after a massive fourth quarter gave them a 120-108 win in Game 1. Maxwell did not believe in Golden State's toughness before the series even began.

- SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ended their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. The Warriors are in Boston to play the Celtics for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday evening at the TD Garden. Draymond Green met with the media on Tuesday, and his comments have gone viral on Twitter. The Golden State Warriors are in Boston to play the Celtics for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Draymond Green and Grant Williams got tangled up during Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics.
You can't get to this stage, to this level, and the reason you lose is because a team didn't feel you. You have to lose once you get to this level because a team was just better than you." "You get to the NBA Finals, and physicality and meeting force with force is important.
The two players had to be separated and luckily for both teams, the veteran officiating crew didn't assess technical fouls to either Green or Williams.
Green was given a technical foul, his fourth of the 2022 NBA playoffs. You're not me. Green and Williams obviously had different views of the Game 2 trash talking, and it's safe to say their thoughts on the Game 3 incident won't be the same.

Speaking to media following Wednesday's 116–100 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Green was asked to assess his performance after finishing the ...
Prior to this series, Green had been much more effective offensively, averaging 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game on 53.9% shooting. It’s the second time this series Green has fouled out of a game after doing so in Game 1 as well. His response was concise, and to the point:
Always has. He's made a career out of it. But there's no version of that villain quite like NBA Finals Draymond on the road. He — along with Celtics fans — was ...

Horford had a good bounce-back game, even though there were a few defensive flaws in his performance, notably his inability to cover off picks. Al Horford is still going strong in the league at 36 years old but came under heavy criticism for his 2-point performance in Game 2. Draymond Green is being attacked from all sides after his Game 3 performance saw him foul out with 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists worth of contribution.
Draymond Green didn't hold back Wednesday night after a reporter asked if he was giving up too much on his podcast after games in the NBA Finals.
"How much X's and O's do you get from the podcast?" Respect." "Respect. Thanks for the podcast promo you just gave me there. The only thing you said is White, Smart and Horford." "If that's X's and O's the I don't know... "You reaching for something.
Draymond Green had a very disappointing performance in Game 3. He finished with 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, and despite the fact that he had good.
Draymond Green does that in a grade school game, not in the NBA Finals... He has lost focus in terms of concentrating on beating the opponent" The Boston Celtics managed to steal a game on the road in Game 1, and now, it's the Golden State Warriors' turn to do so. It shows up in the box score, in a game like tonight.
BOSTON — Draymond Green will hear the criticism after a subpar Game 3 where he fouled out in the fourth quarter. He heard jeers all night from the TD Garden ...
Green struggled in Game 3, where he put up just two points, four rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes before he fouled out of the game. “That’s just contesting shots,” Green said. When Green asked for a follow up of what Xs-and-Os he disclosed on his podcast, the reporter said how the Warriors covered Derrick White, Al Horford and Marcus Smart differently from Game 1 compared to Game 2.
Draymond Green is one of the best defensive players in the league. He is well-known for being the anchor of the Warriors' defense and their de facto ...
With that being said, Draymond Green isn't a primary offensive option on the Golden State Warriors currently, so they don't need him to focus on scoring.

NBA players talk Xs and Os with the media all the time, and if Green didn't talk about basketball games on his podcast, would anyone have a reason to listen? Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors were not happy after suffering a 116-100 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals Wednesday night. OK, so Green was being pretty rude there but that's also a bad question.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson didn't take kindly to the behavior of Boston Celtics fans during Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Finals.
"Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd. "We've played in front of rude people before," Thompson said. Thompson said that the chanting from Boston fans was a nonfactor in the game, but the Warriors guard had his best game of the series so far with 25 points -- after combining for just 26 over the first two games of the Finals. His efforts still weren't enough, especially with Green having three times as many personal fouls as points.
"(Green's) one of our best players," Steve Kerr said. "We rely on him for his energy and his brain. … He'll bounce back. He always does."
It is now on Green to get back on that knife’s edge again, in what will be a must-win for Golden State on Friday night. He bounced back with a strong Game 2, with an impact that didn’t show up on the stat sheet (nine points, five rebounds). As ever with Green, it’s the snarls, the skirmishes, the way he gets under the opponent’s skin and drives them to distraction. But like I said, (also) knowing the No. 1 adjustment is the force that I play with. Laimbeer literally wore a snazzy black fedora in Portland in 1990 as he completely discombobulated the Trail Blazers emotionally, taking control of a series that was 1-1 coming to the Rose City, with the Blazers having three consecutive games on their home floor. That Laimbeer, a four-time All-Star who averaged double figures in rebounds for seven straight seasons, and was a two-time NBA champion who grabbed more than 10,000 rebounds, isn’t in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame remains a terrible sore spot for Pistons fans. By game’s end, Green was reduced to screaming at referee Courtney Kirkland after fouling out with 4:07 left — no foul was called on Al Horford after he fell on a prone Curry as both dove for a loose ball. “We rely on him for his energy and his brain. Even now, after going just 1-of-4 from the floor and grabbing only four rebounds in 35 minutes, Green wore the black hat comfortably. It has been this way around Green for so long that the Warriors didn’t even seem to notice. It’s been like that the whole playoffs, every run we’ve made over the course (of the past few years). He expects it. Another day in the life of Green, who played, in his own words, “like s—” and “soft” in the Celtics’ 116-100 victory over the Warriors, giving Boston a 2-1 series lead. Then little Deuce and Green’s son, D.J., who’d sat on the podium with his father, took a picture together.
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.
Green has long been heralded as one of the most integral pieces in the Warriors' lineup not named Stephen Curry. He is the team's defensive system and primary ...
The Warriors struggled when he was injured and out of the lineup, so he does provide a lot of stability for this team. Draymond is not a gifted scorer, but he has always been a great playmaker and hard-nosed while getting rebounds. Green has long been heralded as one of the most integral pieces in the Warriors' lineup not named Stephen Curry. He is the team's defensive system and primary playmaker.
Green fouled out and finished with just two points, four rebounds and three assists.
The Celtics bounced back in Game 3 and did what they were supposed to do by defending homecourt. Instead of waiting around to see what Green would do, the Celtics threw the first punch in Game 3. He finished with two points, four rebounds, three assists, had more turnovers (2) than made baskets (1) and fouled out in the middle of the fourth quarter. If he's going to come in here and try to be physical, this is our house and we've got to protect it." "We've just got to turn around and do the same thing. The Celtics did just that.
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.
Draymond Green was asked about whether or not he's "conscious" of what he says on his podcast and the possibility that he's giving the Celtics intel on the ...
The only thing you said was White, Smart and Horford, hmm. When you find that they are taking X’s and O’s away from your podcast. If that’s X’s and O’s then…
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.
Twitter poked fun at Draymond Green after a disappointing performance in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
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.
Boston Celtics fans' chants at Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green offended Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr.
"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."
When the Golden State Warriors needed his best, Draymond Green was at his worst in Game 3...
“I have all the confidence in the world in Draymond Green,” Thompson said. Just three nights after his trash talk and dominant defense propelled the Warriors to a Game 2 win in San Francisco, Green was a liability on both ends of the floor. However, it might be the first time he played so poorly on the biggest of stages. It was midway through the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 116-100 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, and Green had just endured perhaps the worst performance of his playoff career. The Warriors’ emotional leader, Green struggled to channel his signature tenacity as his team dug a 15-point hole late in the first quarter. Added Warriors head coach Steve Kerr: “He had a tough game, but I trust Draymond as much as I trust anybody.
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 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.
The NBA Finals haven't been good for Dray, who has done a lot of podcasts.
Four more than the number of points he amassed. On top of that, he fouled out. Because his Game 1 (2-of-12 shooting) was abysmal.
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.
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.
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.’
The Celtics don't need any more motivation in the 2022 NBA Finals, but Warriors forward Draymond Green just gave them some.
Green loves to talk trash and get under his opponents' skin. But ultimately, I’ve got the Celtics winning the Finals,” McCollum told Green, per Haynes. “I just want you to hear it from me first before you hear me say it on TV.” Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports was witness to an exchange between New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum and Green after Wednesday's matchup.

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.'"

We should expect another fired up Boston crowd Friday night. Not only is it the beginning of a weekend, the Celtics have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 ...
The Warriors need to give a much better effort in Game 4 than what they showed Wednesday night. Green didn't have much to say about the fans in his postgame press conference. He willingly plays the villain role and seems to very much relish it.
