Draymond Green did not appreciate this post-game question
Draymond Green is known to wear his emotions on his sleeve. He did not appreciate this post-game question about keeping himself in check.
Can the Golden State Warriors be stopped at the moment? The Warriors have come to plya the past two games, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers by double-digits twice. A big part of that engine has been Draymond Green, the Human Swiss Army knife has made his presence felt in both games at both ends of the floor.
Green is an emotional player and in several key moments last year he let those emotions get the better of him. Green drew several technical/flagrant fouls in last years playoffs, resulting in a key Game 5 suspension in the NBA Finals. Of course, this was part of the Cavaliers turning the tide and eventually winning the series. Last night in a press conference after the game, Green was asked how has he controlled his emotions this year. Green, as colorful as his personality is, gave a colorful response.
Well, then.
Green on one end of the spectrum can’t fault the question. He has shown plenty of times throughout the past few years to have difficulty controlling his frustrations when a call doesn’t go his way. Could he be classified as a problem person? No.
Green has shown throughout the past two seasons his blend of offensive wizardry and defensive acumen is second to none. So, the reporter just wanted to know what was Green doing to let his play standout. It was a reasonable questions, which probably could have been worded better.
