The real reason is Green believes he is winning the mental game with the opposing fans fixated on him. “Because you’re in their head,” Draymond Green said. “It’s all how you look at it. They’re going to spend all their time focused on me, then clearly, you’re living rent-free in their head. It’s all in their head.”

“If it bothered me, I wouldn’t bring (my son). But he has to know, because he may be in this position one day. And if so, I’m going to sit right in the stands and watch him. And I’m going to say, ‘F— them’ back,” Draymond Green on the Celtics fans’ taunts. bit.ly/3MCKMMw – 2:23 PM

If the Warriors win the title, none of the Draymond podcast stuff really matters. If they don’t, it absolutely matters and is only amplified by the way he has played and continues to play in this series. – 2:21 PM

After 70 years, NBA legislated against defenders giving no room 4 shooters 2 land, erasing untold injuries. Yet It continues 2 allow players recklessly diving on loose prone bodies trying 2 secure ball. Draymond mugged Brown in G3. Horford later hurt Curry. Quick whistle a must!! – 1:50 PM

it’s just an optics thing with Draymond. what players do with their time after the game ends is their own business. but since this is the Finals, they’re losing, and he’s playing poorly…his podcast is under the microscope. that’s what he wants, just not sure who or how it helps. – 1:49 PM

I love Draymond.
But that’s about as terrible as one can play. For someone who prides himself on doing so many little things that don’t show up in a box scores, he’s lucky the box score won’t reveal how badly he got punked in Game 3.
Almost zero positive impact on either end. – 11:40 PM

Tonight was quite the gut-check for the Warriors. This Celtics team played inspired basketball and, though it had some memorable moments, Golden State ultimately couldn’t match Boston’s fire. The Warriors — and Draymond Green in particular — need to re-evaluate some things. – 11:37 PM

Draymond Green has to rank high on the all-time universal villains list.
Just pure disdain from other fanbases.
Not sure who he’s the highest since but he’s the highest in a hot minute. – 9:10 PM

As the Warriors are introduced, the loudest boos are for . . . Draymond Green.
The villain has arrived, in all his glory. – 9:04 PM

Lots of talk about how Boston should deal with Draymond in G3. Don’t think they’ll have too much to worry about. Scott Foster, David Guthrie, and Courtney Kirkland are on the job tonight in Boston. The first two, especially, don’t put up with much. – 7:51 PM

Draymond Green says he won’t be able to live with himself if Warriors lose and they don’t meet Boston’s force with force. But tonight, the Warriors enter what will be the most hostile environment they’ve faced in the Finals. It’ll be the kind of atmosphere Draymond lives for pic.twitter.com/AWP768YsWr – 3:14 PM

Keith Smith: Steve Kerr said the Warriors aren’t practicing today, but are treating today as a recovery day. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / June 9, 2022
Green also said that he has dealt with worse than the Celtics fans in the past. Without offering details, Green said the crowd that was toughest on him were Cleveland Cavaliers fans in Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Warriors played against LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018. Cleveland fans also booed Green and Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry during the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. “I really don’t pay attention to what they say,” Green said. “But the loudness of it … I haven’t heard it louder than in Cleveland. … “Cleveland was way louder and [the fans] also say something. Cleveland people are more reckless and ruthless.” -via Andscape / June 9, 2022
