Draymond Green BLASTS Dillon Brooks for running off court after Warriors-Rockets Game 7

We going out there loose and they're going to tighten up. He don't want— so he said this arena gonna be tight, they gonna be tight, everybody gonna be tight, and we going out there, we gonna be loose, we firing, and we going to get this win, man. It was fun. Uh, I think, you know, like you said, Thompson played with a lot of force. Uh, he, he, he, he got a chance to be special.

Oh my God, it's tough. He living the moment.

Lot of respect for young fella. He is special the way he defend, the way he get downhill. He's certain of himself. He athletic as hell.

Yeah, he is.

He relentless. Lot of respect for the young fella, man.

He on his way.

He special. He's special. Sengun, got a lot of respect for him. You know, I've played against a lot of guys And I always tell people, man, in a playoff series, one of two things happen. You either completely lose respect for someone or you gain a lot of respect for someone because you see who really real when these playoffs happen. You know what I'm saying? You see a lot of people fade. You get to see who really real. You also get to see how people act after the game, which we'll talk about. But Senghun real, man. He ain't back down at all. What I would say to him, if I was his OG, and he could take it right from here, flop a little less, embellish a little less, because with a defender like me, he doing that, I'mma feed off that. You know what I'm saying? He real, he ain't, he physical, he ain't backing down, he got a bag, you know what I'm saying? Like, he, and he 23 years old. Like, I don't think people realize he young.

Yeah, no, they got a young squad.

Absolutely. So he real, a lot of respect for him. The way Jabari played in this series, obviously Steven Adams, Fred VanVleet, we know they the dons over there, you know, but Jabari Smith, he was huge in this series for them. He made shots, he got loose balls, you know, he tried to put pressure on our defense. Those guys I just named, all those guys, a lot of respect for those guys, Ime. On how they acted after the game. You know, you see a lot about, you see a lot come out. It tell you a lot about a guy. And I didn't see, I didn't see Jalen Green after the game, but some of the guys told me that he was out there. So respect. But Dylan Brooks ran off the court. So when I say you see what guys is made of, he ran off the court. Like ain't shaking nobody up. And you was, you like, you admitted that you was trying to hurt Steph Curry, which again, fine by me, bro. Like I get it. We all get it when you hoop, you know what I'm saying? So if you gonna be on that type of time, worship in the press conference. He gotta be on that time all the time. You gonna be talking, you gonna be Mr. Big Bad Wolf. Don't lose and then not face the music. Don't be that guy because again, You lose a lot of respect for guys in that moment. I had a moment with Dylan Brooks back when he was with Memphis and I said, the dynasty start after you. And the reason I said that is because things like that, because bro, you like, so then guess what? Then Tyrese do it. He lead the court. I got love for Tyrese and his mom was talking, you know what I'm saying? My mom almost had to get out of the house. You got a lot of, you was shouting him out earlier in the year though. Absolutely. You know, I got a lot of love for the way he play. And I ended up catching him right before he was about to walk out the arena. And he was like, he was walking this way. So he didn't have to come by me, but I could, in my distance, I could see him right there. I said to him, I like waved him down and I went and I dapped him up. And that was kind of a little safe, but don't be that guy, man. Like you don't like— You gotta teach him. You gotta teach him. You lose a series.

You gotta teach him right. But that's who Dylan Brooks is. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

And we understand like, you a sucker, man. You like, but, but Tyrese, he not, you know what I'm saying? Like I said, his mom was talking, it's all love. I don't get off into that. I got a lot of love for young fella because the way he go about his business, the way he play the game, I got a lot of love for him. Don't be like that because you lose respect. When guys lose respect for you in this league, like it don't matter and it's gonna catch you in the end. You know what I'm saying? Like Dylan Brooks couldn't come through in this series in large part because Nobody on the court respects you. So anything you do, the way it's gonna be looked at, the way it's gonna be received, it ain't beneficial to your team when you trying to win championships. You know what I'm saying? When you trying to compete at the highest level and you that type of guy, it ain't beneficial to your team and they catch you in the end. So they front office tried to run off and not say what's up, you know, like all that, like. But like I said, Ime, 10 toes, you know what I'm saying? Big smile, hug, love, you know what I'm saying? But you know, like I said, I gained a lot of respect for a lot of guys over there. Not that I ever had much respect for dude, but just show why you don't, you know what I'm saying? And Tari Eason, I still got love and respect for. He a young fella.

Hey, young dude.

But I'm gonna tell a young fella, don't be like that. Don't follow clowns, man. Be careful following clowns. BD, I almost, I left the court one time after losing the series. It was right after we lost to the Cavs in 2016. I left the court, walked to the locker room. I got to my seat and for me it was just such a whirlwind. I'm like, damn, we just lost, man. And I got to my seat, I'm like, what am I doing? I got out my seat, walked back out there, shook everybody up, congratulated them, and then went back to the locker room. Like, don't be that guy. You don't wanna be that guy.

You ain't lying.

You ain't lying. Remember to subscribe to the Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis so you don't miss any episodes.

And don't forget to follow us on all social media @DraymondShump. All right, Dub Nation, y'all know what's cracking. Bay Area, Steph Curry showed up in the second half. In the fourth quarter, he scored 14 of his 22 points. He led throughout the game and he was waiting for his moment. Talk about his preparation or what you saw with him during the game. How it felt like he was pacing himself for that time.

I don't think he was necessarily pacing himself. I think, you know, one thing—

Or being patient, or being patient.

He was definitely patient, but You know, everybody been talking about the meeting. You know, I spoke my piece in the meeting, and one of the things that Steph said in the meeting, he said, control the controllables. That's essentially what Draymond is saying. Control the controllables. Control what you can control. So I know I can control not turning the ball over. I know I can control what I do on the defensive end. I know I can control getting loose balls. I'm gonna control those things. And so in saying that, One of the things that Steve has said to myself, and I'm sure he said the same thing to Steph, when we sat and had that conversation that everybody's talking about, one of the things he said to me, he said, "It's my job to tell you what it means for you leading tonight. Like what we need from your leadership tonight. It's my job to emotionally prepare you for that." And he gave me some gems over there, but in saying that, Steph's job last night was to not turn the ball over. And so he plays such a patient game because he wasn't gonna take any risk. He was gonna not turn the ball over because that's what it required for us to win that game. And you know what Dons do when it's time to win a game 7? They do what's required. You know, when we played in Sacramento, you know what was required of him? It was required of him to get 50 for us to win.

50, yeah.

And then Don went and got 50. Dons do what they have to do when it needs to be done. And that's what the game called for from Steph. And he was patient. And then he took over when it was time to send them boys home on their way. He took over and he did what he had to do down the stretch, him and Jimmy Buckets. You know, so it was, you know, it was beautiful to see his floor game.

I like watching that version of Steph Curry. That is my favorite version of Steph Curry. Led the team in rebounds, steals, blocks, but his pace, right? His pace, even though he playing at the same high frequency, the way he was thinking about the game, the way he was involving people, he turned down opportunities for another opportunity knowing that the opportunity was gonna come back. It was magical. To see super duper stars, right? Iconic players operate and paint at a different pace than everybody else. Right?

Facts, facts.

It was like, whoa, hold on. Okay. He leading the team in rebounds. He doing all the little things.

Yep.

That, like you say, control that cover. You gotta cover yourself. And then Jimmy went on his own 6-0 run in the fourth to put the game away. We see the dynamic of what Steph controlling the game and what Steph can do in the fourth quarter. Then that Jimmy dynamic of, hey, you paying so much attention to Steph Curry, there go Jimmy with the misos I told you about, right? He gets big buckets because people forget that he's on the floor for some strange reason.

They forget that he on the floor 'cause he wind up with an iso.

They don't double, right? And he get to his spot and he's, man, he's money.

Yes, he is. Nah, Jimmy's great, man. Offensively and defensively, a presence. His IQ. Jimmy be out there talking everybody through everything. Like, yo, we do this, just do this, this will kill him. Just do that thing, do this. He diabolical with it, man. It's so dope to be on this side. When you play somebody in the playoffs, you get to see what's real. Obviously we never got the opportunity to play Jimmy in the playoffs. And so to play with him and be in the playoffs, like just get to see it, it's real. It's exciting, man. Again, it's real.

Congratulations on Game 7. Moving right along.
