In Draymond Green’s playoff career, Warriors have a better record in games where he receives a technical foul (22-6, .786) compared to when he does not (77-36, .681). This includes a 3-1 record in such games this postseason where Green has received a technical per @ESPNStatsInfo – 3:59 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Draymond Green says he won’t be able to live with himself if Warriors lose and they don’t meet Boston’s force with force. But tonight, the Warriors enter what will be the most hostile environment they’ve faced in the Finals. It’ll be the kind of atmosphere Draymond lives for pic.twitter.com/AWP768YsWr – 3:14 PM Brian Robb @BrianTRobb

No way y’all letting someone dominate you then go straight home and tell the world all about it. – 10:03 AM Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
“We don’t turn the ball over, we give ourselves a better chance to win. That’s not rocket science.”
Draymond Green & Otto Porter were in 2 places at once in a way the Celtics have hardly seen.
How do they adjust? New film study @The Athletic https://t.co/x54uDRxTXK pic.twitter.com/IWsWFfDJaY – 10:00 AM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
Draymond Green, JJ Redick, Jamal Crawford and CJ McCollum are just starting their sports media careers and they’re already better than literally every talking head. Objective, credible, smart. Because they know what they’re talking about. – 12:52 AM Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson

Marcus Smart on Draymond Green setting a physical tone: “I mean, you respond to fire with fire, right? We’ve just got to turn around and do the same thing. If he’s going to come in here and try to be physical, this is our house and we’ve got to protect it.” – 4:49 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews

More on this storyline

Whether you want to call it a dynasty or not…when you talk about the Warriors, a lot of people like to go back to the Lakers and their three-peat in the early 2000s, and obviously the Bulls and their six titles. Do you think the Spurs get underlooked in that conversation? Tony Parker: “To a certain extent. But in the world of basketball, everybody knows we had an unbelievable run, maybe one of the best runs in 20 years in the NBA, if you look at playoffs and all that kind of stuff and all the success we had over the years. I understand that we talk about the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, Warriors — it doesn’t bother me because when I go home, I have my four rings too. So, I will put them against anybody.” -via For The Win / June 8, 2022 As for Stephen Curry, whom Tatum is playing against in the NBA Finals right now, Tracy McGrady seems to think his legacy would be helped quite a bit if he wins another ring given the circumstances of his other three titles. “That’s a tough question,” McGrady said when asked where Curry ranks all-time. “Because he has his career individually and with what he’s accomplished with his team is tough. Because you’ve gotta think, he won a championship, right, against LeBron that didn’t have Kyrie , that didn’t have Kevin Love. He didn’t win the MVP, right? Then he loses a 3-1 lead to LeBron, gets K.D., K.D. comes and wins two championships, so that gives Steph three championship but K.D. wins the two MVPs, right? -via NBC Sports / June 8, 2022 “We know Steph is like the 3-point God. But when it comes to putting him with and these guys that won that level of championships; Kobe and Magic Johnson, I don’t know where to rank him. I know he’s pretty high. But I think those guys are in a different class than Steph Curry based off of . They’re on championship teams. K.D. came and joined the Warriors and became the best player and helped Steph win two more championships. But Steph wasn’t the best player on that team.” -via NBC Sports / June 8, 2022
