I think it does get weirder for him to be talking trash when his team is no longer a juggernaut and just got out of a much more disappointing season than the Celtics did. And if you want to talk about problems moving forward the warriors have way more issues than we do. It’s not even certain draymond will be there next year

Something that isn't being discussed as much. How is Tatum's injury now? Because honestly, if his ankle injury was severe enough that he'd have to miss some of the early Finals games, then we might have been screwed anyways even if we won Monday night. No chance we'd win the Finals if he had to miss 1-2 games against that Denver team.

Some people are saying it's a high ankle sprain and he's hobbling now after a day or two of swelling, which if so would have meant he'd miss close to a week at minimum.

Maybe next time we can send Draymond wine and roses when enters the arena. Our home court advantage is gone though so maybe we need to try something else anyways.

He’s the worst..

Draymond Green is glad to see Celtics fans suffer

“Boston Celtics fans will make excuses, and I ain’t hearing none of that. Because y’all rude, and I’m happy y’all lost,” Green said. “Not happy JT lost, but Boston Celtics fans, especially those of you that are in that arena.” Green didn’t stop there. The 33-year-old went on to critique the Celtics’ Game 7 performance. “The Boston Celtics are who we thought they were. They got to the moment, and they did not look like they were ready for the moment,” Green said. – via Sports Illustrated


What's Draymond doing? Fishing I guess. Hit anyone lately Draymond?

That's interesting for two reasons.  1.  I get the fan critique, but why'd he add the last bit about the players?  I thought he was friends with JT and JB, in particular; and 2.  What's his excuse for why the Warriors lost to the Lakers?

4 rings.

When out of those 4 rings, three different players win Finals MVP and you aren’t one of them… you’re basically a role player.

so is Klay Thompson a role player? or Manu Ginobili?

Yes they are the poster childs of role players. Neither one of them leading a championship team.
ok fine

So to be clear, in your view there are something like 10 players that aren't role players in the league today?

Is anyone who can’t lead a team to a title at best a role player?

Just saw somebody's Top 10 players in 5 years times

1. Luka Doncic
2. Victor Wembanyama
3. Jayson Tatum
4. Zion Williamson
5. Giannis
6. Nikola Jokic

Doncic being #1 is a stretch, plays no defense whatsoever. Wembanyama who hasn't sniffed a single second in the NBA is already above Tatum, wow. Zion is above Giannis and Jokic? I think that guy's list is a joke lol.

Jokic and Giannis at least belongs in the Top 3 with Tatum. Then we can debate who should be number 1.

I always find these kinds of lists a bit silly. Did many think Jokic would be the best player in the world in 2018? Or Tatum as a top 5 level guy?

I thought Tatum had the top 5 potential after his rookie season, I think that was a majority position at the time, especially around here.
