Draymond Green's post game arrogance

[Rosco917]

The kryptonite for Draymond Green was Tristan Thompson. He wanted no part of him when Golden State played Cleveland.

The truth is we're going to have to look to the refs to control the remaining games, because we really have no enforcer his size that can persuade him to play the game straight up.

Silly boy. Draymond just made himself a target for the refs for the rest of the series. The refs are going to make an example of him just to avoid further public criticism.

It is one thing for this to happen. It is another altogether for said player to rub the referee's noses in it.

Dumb move.

That is at least 1 game GSW will lose in this series because of Draymond's stupidity. Near certainty to be ejected or suspended at some point in this series.

I feel like the league won’t like the backlash it’s receiving at the moment. There’s a lot of discussion about the garbage Green was getting away with. Expect them to come out hard with Foster in G3

Draymond is a goon.  We need Smart and Grant to be even goonier, though.

These guys need to foul Draymond hard. I loved GWill doing it yesterday on one of his drives. If they're going to call soft stuff on us anyways, just make it count. I wouldn't even hate bringing on Nesmith or someone to just run over Draymond or something lol

Draymond's a hot head. Just keep baiting him and frustrating him, and he'll lose it. I think he was close to losing it yesterday in that little spat with Jaylen but the refs immediately got in the way. Otherwise Draymond was going to probably shout and say a bunch of profanities

Doesn't he do that non-stop throughout every game already?

'differential officiating'

He's not wrong.  Steve Javy admitted it. 

Draymond could have hit somebody with a steel chair and he wouldn't have been given a tech.

I remember Ron Artest telling a story about a game in played in high school where someone (player or spectator, can't recall) broke the leg off of a table and stabbed another with it.

Apparently he also walked to the liquor store during halftimes.

As a seasoned vet, maybe he could give us 5 solid mpg.

I always loved Artest's approach to the game. I would love 5 junkyard dogs, score 20 points, and give up 18.

I would be so offended if the Celtics ever signed a PF notorious for his swearing.

I honestly don't want the refs to call every foul.  The game would be unwatchable.  It is like holding in the NFL.  There is holding on every single play, but you can't just call it every time or nothing would happen.  They do need to be more consistent in how they call fouls, but I'm fine with letting them play, it is a much better product overall.  For example, I have enjoyed these first two games far more than I enjoyed the first two games of the Miami series.  There were large portions of the ECF that were hard to watch.  The only reason this series has been hard to watch in the embarrassing 3rd quarter displays from the C's.

I don't think anyone wants Barny Fife out there calling fouls, but just have it be the same for both teams.

They certainly missed some calls, but in the game last night Boston was called for 18 fouls, while Golden State was flagged for 17.  Boston was 13 of 17 from the line and Golden State was 14 of 20.  So fouls were basically even with only a slight foul shot edge to GS with just 1 extra point.  Both teams were 15 of 37 from 3.    Boston was 30 of 80 overall (15 of 43 from 2) while GS was 39 of 86 overall (22 of 49 from 2), and those 6 extra attempts are pretty easy to track to the 6 extra turnovers that Boston had (18 to 12).  At the end of the day, fouls had very little to do with the outcome, it was quite simply Boston was far more careless with the ball and couldn't hit shots from 2 point range.

You're counting fouls that didn't happen? No.
The let green play football while forcing Boston to play basketball.

I'll say it again, in 2002 people like you were telling kinds fans there was nothing to see. Are you so confident you would bet your soul the game last night was just a matter of incompetent refs?

Technically yes but he's in hot water with some of the more seasoned vets like Brothers and Foster. I think if it were up to Brothers he'd eject him yesterday but that slimeball Zarba didn't allow it either

I think they generally let the players play.  There were a couple they probably should have called, but in both games they've let the players play a lot more than happened in the Miami series.  I just think it is easier to blame the refs for fans than the players.  Makes it feel like there is a bad guy.  Boston did not lose the game because a couple of fouls weren't called.  Boston lost the game because they couldn't stop turning it over and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from inside the arc.
