Derrick White got a chance to respond to those comments on Saturday, refusing to engage with the Warriors veteran forward. “I mean, we knew what their game plan was going in, so it’s just up to us to make shots,” White said of Green’s remarks. “I mean, it is what it is. He said what he said. Just going into Game 2, just have the right mindset and whatever it takes to help us win games.”

More on this storyline
Draymond Green turned some heads after Game 1 by downplaying his concern after the defeat after a number of key Celtics delivered red-hot shooting performances from 3-point range on Thursday night. “They hit 21 threes, and Marcus Smart and Al Horford and Derrick White combined for 15 of them,” Green said. “The guys are good shooters, but they combined for, what, 15-for-23 from those guys, eh, you know, so, we’ll be fine.” -via Booth Newspapers / June 5, 2022
The past must be flushed away, and there’s no better mentor than Iguodala to preach that point to Poole. “He’s got to stay aggressive,” Kenny Atkinson said. “We’re not winning this thing without Jordan Poole. That’s just the truth of it, and he knows it.” -via NBC Sports / June 5, 2022
And it’s another thing to be a big piece to the puzzle of the Warriors’ success and their championship hopes at such a young age. “Just asking questions and getting his insight,” Poole said of his conversations with Iguodala. “Finding ways to learn from the film and my own team. Just trying to better myself as a player and the whole team.” -via NBC Sports / June 5, 2022
