Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr call out Boston fans for NSFW chants during Game 3
By Mark Powell
The Golden State Warriors now face a 2-1 deficit, with the potential of falling further behind in the series with another game remaining in Boston.
After the game, however, all the attention was on Celtics fans, rather than the performance of the team. That’s thanks to the likes of Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr and more, who were shocked by some Boston supporters’ comments towards the Dubs players.
“We’ve played in front of rude people before,” said Thompson. “Dropping f-bombs with children in the crowd — real classy. Good job, Boston.”
Kerr echoed those sentiments, adding a sarcastic “Classy,” in his press conference.
Surprisingly, it was Draymond Green, who almost had more fouls than points, who was perhaps the most level-headed.
“I embrace it. I enjoy it,” Green said. “I didn’t really feed off of it tonight. I don’t think I fed off much tonight. But yeah, that’s something that I enjoy. Waste a lot of energy talking to me, so it’s great. It’s great. Looking forward to Friday.”

Green had a measured response, but that doesn’t mean everyone associated with him did. Draymond’s fiancée took to social media to voice her displeasure over Game 3.
“Tough loss tonight but in no way, shape or form should fans be allowed to chant obscenities at players! Are they not human? Is someone standing at your job saying off the wall things to you?…” Hazel Renee wrote.
It wouldn’t be the NBA Finals without some cryptic social media posts.
