Draymond Green CLAMPS Kawhi Leonard, Warriors vs. Suns Preview & LaMelo/Bam Tripping Controversy

What's up everybody? Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show. On today's show, I'll go deep into our tough-fought, very emotional play-in win over the Clippers. Also our next matchup against the Suns. And we must talk about the LaMelo Bowne controversy, as well as what happened with K and Luka and Anthony Edwards, if you will. Let's get right into it. Last night we defeated the Clippers 124 to 119 It was a great win. Hard-fought win. If you watch the game, it was a game of runs the entire game. You know, they go on the 9-0 run, we take a timeout, we go on a 10-0 run, they take a timeout, they go on the 7-0 run, we take a timeout, you know, and it was just back and forth, back and forth the entire game. Fourth quarter, got off to a little rough start, got down by 13. Gui Santos hits a big 3, get, you know, open the gates a little bit, kind of stop their run. The great Steph Curry reenters the game about the 9-minute mark. And I reentered the game about the little over 8. When Kawhi checked back into the game and it was off to the races from there. Al Horford, Draymond Green reentered the game and my, my, my, was he used. First off, I wanna talk about Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr and like, you know how people say, "Oh man, like I'm not surprised Steph Curry hit that shot." Like when Steph Curry do these crazy things, like I'm not surprised. Listen. As you all know, I am very active on Threads. I see all the talk about Steve Kerr. When I tell you, you don't want another coach in the foxhole with you. You don't want another coach when your back is against the wall. I know all of you have your complaints about Steve Kerr and have your complaints about his rotations and his philosophies. And all of these things. But I just never see anyone really question Jeff Bezos like that. I never see anyone really question Greg Popovich like that. I never see anyone question Phil Jackson like that. But for some reason, and I guess it's because of the day and age that we're in, There's always people questioning Steve Kerr. Well, let— I'm here to tell you again, you're back against the wall, you don't want another coach. He always know the right thing to do. He always know the right thing to say. He always know the right thing to do. He always know the right adjustment to make. Like when you talk about, the confidence that, and the chemistry that Steph Curry and myself have in these situations. A large piece of that is we know the guy over there gonna make all the right calls. So we going into this situation knowing that we gonna have a better game plan than the opposing team. Can we execute it? It's up to us. But we know our game plan's gonna be better. We know our coach gonna have the utmost trust in us. And we gonna have the utmost trust in him. And so again, I see what everybody say about the rotations and all of this stuff. And I think what people, most people don't understand is Steve Kerr is a 9-time champion. I'm a 4-time champion. Steve Kerr's a 9-time champion. As a 4-time champion, I can, very openly and honestly tell you some games it's just hard to get up for. Like you go through certain games in a reg and it's really hard to get up for those games. I can only imagine what that feels like for a 9-time champion. But that don't mean you checked out. That don't mean you can't do the job. That just mean when the stakes is at its highest, I'm gonna be at my best. And that is Steve Kerr. So Steve Kerr was dialed in last night. Did you see the sets that we were running coming outta timeouts? We got great looks outta every timeout. And most of the time we got layups or dunks. That was all Steve Kerr. The defensive game plan. It's been a lot of talk about my defense on Kawhi, which we'll get into. That's all Steve Kerr. Yeah, I followed the defensive game plan. Yeah, I had to be locked in and, you know, up for the challenge and all of those things. But I can only be as successful as the position that my coach puts me in. And boy, did he put me in a great position last night. Per usual, because that's what he does. For all the marbles, money on the line, Steve Kerr gonna show up. So when you hear, like a couple days ago when I said Steve Kerr deserves the right to coach us as long as he want to, to coach here as long as he want to. When you heard me say Steph Curry don't wanna play for another coach, that is why. Yeah. Because who are you going to find that has that? Now what you can do is go find you a coach. And if you want to, by all means, be my guest. Go find you a coach that's gonna win you 55 games and lose in the first round. I'm cool on that. I'm straight on that. You get these coaches that get in these playoff series and they don't know what to do. Mm-hmm. If you rather have that, be my guest. But I know who I'd rather have. Put me in the foxhole with Steve Kerr. Because one thing I know is he gonna put his back against my back and he gonna fight with me. And we gonna fight our way out the foxhole. That I know. One thing I know is his plan, his mapped out plan, to get outta that foxhole, ah man, I know it's gonna be better than the other guy. 'Cause that's what Steve Kerr does. So first and foremost, I wanted to talk about the great Steve Kerr and the great game plan, the great adjustments and the timely calls that he made all night long. Now before we continue on, I'm gonna tell you, I— I'm gonna tell you, I'm not a quitter. I don't know how to quit. But everyone has thoughts. You're a human being. And I can tell you, there's several times this year where I thought about quitting. And each time he just say the right thing to relight that fire and make you wanna go again. That's a special, special person. That's a special coach. When you coming into a season expecting to compete for a championship and it goes the way that it's going for us, man, good luck trying to keep that together. So many coaches you see get fired because they just can't hold it together. When it all goes wrong, they can't hold it together. Steve Kerr's a master at that. So I just wanted to give a shout out to the great Steve Kerr. Obviously we still got more work to do, but that was fun. His pregame message was very simple. Say, hey guys, I know this game plan may be a little confusing. Number one, already throwing himself under the bus. True leader. Hey guys, I know this game plan might be a little confusing. Don't overthink it. Just play harder. Just get the rebounds. Just take care of the ball. Just follow the defensive game plan. Have fun. Let it fly. This is what we like, fellas. This is what we want to do. You just want a chance, fellas. And we got a chance. Let's go take advantage of the chance. It was very simple. But he threw himself under the bus first and foremost. Hey man, this game plan may be shit. No, it's not. But he threw himself under the bus right away. I don't want y'all going into the game overcomplicating your mind on this game plan. I just want you to play hard. Not many coaches throw themselves under the bus. We see coaches every day point fingers. The finger never does this. Steve Kerr never does this. He only do this. True leader. So an honor to play for him still in year 14 of my career, my 12th year with coaches as leading, you know, at the helm. And— Still to this day, the way you get amazed by Steph Curry's shots or the way, you know, some is amazed by my defense is how I get amazed by his coaching when all the money is on the line. At halftime, we were down 8 and they were getting offensive rebounds, but everything else was going pretty well for us. And he said— Draymond Green. Fellas, I don't have much. We gotta take away the offensive rebounds. But I think we gonna be good. Some more shots will fall for us. We'll be fine. We just gotta take away the second chance points. Other than that, we played a good half. Come on now, build on it. We good. They gonna make a run. We responded to every run they made, he said. And we gonna do that again. Fourth quarter, he said, "Yo, we responded to all they runs now. Now it's time to take over the game and push ahead. Now it's time to see it through." Okay. Okay. Telling you, man, this guy, this guy always know what to say. It's one of the most impressive things to me. I played for Coach Izzo. I know great coaching. This guy always knows what to say, man. And so that was the message at halftime. He obviously put a game, a great game plan in against Kawhi Leonard. You know, we trapped when we needed to trap. We faked some traps. We did just a bunch of different things. You know, he came straight out the gate like, yo, you got Kawhi. 2 days, 3 days, 2 days, 2, 3 days before the— Yep. Just so you know, you got Kawhi. Oh my God. When we're going through our defensive game plan, those couple days in practice, he's literally in practice like, 'Cause Draymond gonna blow this screen up. Draymond not gonna get screened right there. Draymond gonna lock this up. This is how he's talking in practice. The way he was talking in practice had me believing I was gonna do all that stuff. The way he was talking in practice had all my teammates believing I was gonna do all that stuff. Well, guess what? That's a great coach knowing his player. Because if you gonna talk about me like that, then I gotta hold up my end of the bark. He just threw it all on me. Draymond gonna blow this up. Draymond getting through that screen. He's showing clips from when we played the Clippers last time. Look, you see how he just got through that one? He getting through those screens all night. This is how he's talking leading up to this game. So when I get in the game, sick and all, jacked up, I gotta do that because he told all my teammates that's what I'm doing. I have to live up to that. And so he put me in an incredible position to be successful. And then I had the opportunity to play against the great Kawhi Leonard. And— When I play against all-time greats, it requires me to be at my best. It requires me to get better. Every time I play against Kawhi Leonard, I get better. And I'm so grateful for him as a competitor because he brings the best outta me. And I love that. You know, he's a guy, I don't respect everybody in the NBA. I just don't think everyone deserves respect or has earned respect. Kawhi is a guy who I got the utmost respect for. I don't even talk junk to Kawhi Leonard because I have so much respect for him. Like, you talking a special, special player. Kawhi is one of the better, Top 5 offensive player in our league. He's also a top 5 defensive player in our league. This man had more steals than fouls on the season. Almost by double. Like that's unheard of for someone that defends. But he's a student of the game. Right, so he play clean defense. He like, Kawhi special, man. And yeah, I heard his comments after the game. Later last night I heard his comments. I was flattered because ultimately, you know, as players, and I know everybody think like, oh man, they spoiled, they make this amount of money, they stay in this hotel, they do this, they, Man, it's hard. It's hard when every day you on front street, you have a bad game and people say you trash, you suck. They dissect your personal life. It's hard. And ultimately what matters to you the most is the respect from your peers. and not just any peer, the respect from the peers that shoot respect. To hear him say that about me, like me and Kawhi battled for Defensive Player of the Year awards and championship rings, and for him to say he a Hall of Fame defender, That's one of the greatest defenders ever saying I'm a Hall of Fame defender. Man, it meant so much to me. He said it's hard to even get shots up. That meant so much to me because, but I saw people saying like, why would Kawhi say that? Why would he admit that? 'Cause number one, he's a real guy. 'Cause he's an honest guy. Number 2, because the respect is there. At no point does he feel disrespect from me. And so I think when you have respect for someone, you feel comfortable saying things like that. Because I got the respect for that guy. So I'm cool with saying that because I respect him. And man, I got so much respect for Kawhi. I respect Kawhi like I respect Joker. But those guys just go about their business. They just go about their game. They destroy you. They don't talk junk. I talk junk. That's who I am. That's how I grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. But I respect how they go about their business. And when I'm playing those guys, I get better every time. And that's a true testament to them because I'm a competitor, so I don't want to get embarrassed. But I know that if I'm not focused and doing and trying to figure out what I need to get better at, because the next time I play them, they're gonna have been, they got better than what they did before from the last time I played them. If I didn't, they, they're gonna embarrass me. So when I play against those guys, I get better every time. Mm-hmm. And it's just a testament to their hard work. So forever grateful for Kawhi's comments and understand this, as great of a defensive job as I did, that's a complete team effort. If I'm playing against Kawhi Leonard and my teammates aren't in the shell and he see gaps in the defense, I don't care how good of a defense you play, it ain't gonna work. That's a complete team effort, man. And my teammates were great. They were great in support. Whenever I needed help, they were right there. So we did it together. You don't lock down great players. Kawhi still had 21 points. You don't lock them down. You don't shut them down. But what you do is you just try to make it hard. And when he said it was hard to get shots up, that's the goal. Because Kawhi, if you let Kawhi get to his spot, you dead. Like he raising up into that shot and it's money. So you have to do your work early. And that's what I was doing. That's why I was picking him up at half court and stuff. Because if you don't do your work early against him, he get to that spot, there's nothing you can do but hope he miss. It's like the one where he had me in the mid post. One dribble right, bam. Nothing you can do but hope he miss when you let him get to his spots. That's how great he is. So job well done by the teammates. Job well done by the coaching staff. Fun, fun game. Always great competing against that guy. If you care about your energy, your skin, and aging well, listen up.

Yeah, I wanna break down a couple of these steals for y'all. So the first one being when I, you know, again, when I tell you it's a complete team effort, Go watch the play when I got the first steal, when I had him pinned up against the sideline, I got that steal, I hit the BP. Go watch that play. My teammates had everything denied. So guess what? I see them with everything denied. I know I could press up and be aggressive because there's nowhere else to outlet. I see it. They all denied. They had everybody denied. And then I get the steal. So again, when I tell you it's not just a one-man thing. If they don't have everyone denied, I don't get that opportunity. They don't shrink the floor like they did. Kawhi doesn't end up right next to the sideline for me to press him to the sideline and then come up with the steal. It's a complete team effort. So man, shout out to my teammates. They were incredible. That first steal, they had everything denied. The second steal, So the whole game I had been watching his handle and I had been thinking like, man, I think I can get one of them. However, if I reach for one of them and I don't get it, with Kawhi, you gotta stay patient because he's so strong and quick and gets to his spots and raise up that if you're not patient, and you lean one way, the wrong way, you dead. You can't make it up. Because once he gets you leaning away, he gonna go where he trying to go and he gonna bump you. And Kawhi is strong as an ox. So once he bumps you, there's nothing you can do. And now he raising up. So for me, I'm like, ah, maybe I can get it, but I gotta stay solid. I gotta stay solid. I gotta stay solid because if— You gotta stay solid. I break that position and I'm no longer solid. I'm cooked. But when I saw him coming down, I was taking the right hand away. So I knew he had to cross and go left. And I timed it perfectly. But I had been waiting on it the whole game. And it just happened to be a situation where I knew I could get it. We were up 6 points. So it was, you know, um. Yeah. It was an easier gamble to take. You know, if I gamble and I don't get it and he get a layup, nobody's mad. We're up 4 points. No big deal. So perfect situation, man. It was a fun game to play in. Vintage Steph Curry performance. Started the game 1 for 5, got banged up a little bit, went to the locker room, came back in, found his footing. While he was finding his footing, Brandon Pajimski was incredible. Yeah. He got us off to a good start. We were down 12 to 2. He hit the 3, playing aggressive, get in the paint and get a layup. Like broke the dam a little bit. All right, now fellas, we got our footing. Here we go. You know, so that was— Gee Santos was incredible. You know, I think the jump that Gee Santos has made just throughout this season, so special. But I watch him put the work in daily. Al Horford down the stretch, wow. KP was great all night. GP, damn good game. Melt, great minutes off the bench. Like, you talking a complete team effort, man. We went in there and did that. And then also having Jimmy Buckets on the bench, just that energy. You know, Moses was around, obviously wasn't out on the bench right now, but man, just having those guys around, like you just feel different. So happy we was able to get that win. You know, it was a little emotional for us because again, you just don't know how many more opportunities we have. And you know, so with everything that's going on, with all the injuries we face, to still be able to hang in there, follow behind our leaders, Steve and Steph. That was a great feeling. Now we'll move on to play Phoenix, which, you know, is a, it'll be a tough matchup. They've had a good year. They got a lot of guys, different guys handling the ball. You got Book, you got Dylan Brooks having a career year. Draymond Green. Draymond Green in the games that he played, he looks like a much better player than he was. Even just in last year in Houston, much more aggressive, you know. All those guys got the green light. Jordan Goodwin got the green light. Collin Gillespie got the green light. If Grayson Allen plays, ultra green light. Royce O'Neal, green light. So, you know, they're firing and they pressure you defensively. So, you know, very physical. So it'll be a tough one. But the result of us beating the Clippers was an interesting one. And I'm gonna tell you why it was an interesting one. No, not because we move on, but because the Oklahoma City Thunder will now receive the Clippers pick. The pick is currently the 12th spot with a 7% chance to move into the top 4. If we beat the Suns, The pick could move up to number 11 and a 9.4% chance to move up. Sam Presti just sitting over there licking his chops. What a hell of a job he's done. But that was also some of the implications of our win. Getting back to the Phoenix Suns. You know, we enjoyed last night and then today we moved on. You know, we've started our scout for Phoenix, our preparation. You know, I know our coaching staff is still dialing that game plan on in. It was interesting, man, 'cause we had that first practice on Monday, and then we had another practice Tuesday, and they were going through some game plan stuff. And I interrupted the walkthrough 'cause everybody had so many questions. I said, hey guys, just so y'all know, been through a few of these. This game plan is not locked in, but I promise you, By the time we play on Wednesday, you're gonna be so comfortable what we doing. The game plan is gonna be incredible. Trust me, I know. And it was exactly that. You know, so we've now moved on to Phoenix. You know, I think, you know, for us, a lot of questions will be, "Oh man, how much do they have left in the tank?" Listen, a lot. We got big dreams, big aspirations, and we want to fulfill those. Yeah. You know, it'll be a big game for us tomorrow night. Like I said, they got multiple different guys who can get it done. I know the internet's going crazy over matchup with me and Dylan Brooks. Someone said, Draymond Green versus Dylan Brooks with a chance to go to playoffs on the line. The NBA should allow them 9 fouls each. That shit is gonna be a sledgehammer fight. Listen. He's a competitor, I'm a competitor. We both want to get in the playoffs. Everybody gonna play their heart out. This ain't got nothing to do with me versus Dylan Brooks. This is the Phoenix Suns versus the Golden State Warriors. And that's how we will approach this game. I know them, they're gonna come out, they're gonna pressure, they're gonna be physical. That's who they are, that's their MO. Starts with the owner, Matt Ishbia. No-nonsense mentality. All down to Brian Gregory, the general manager, Jordan Hart, the head coach, all with that no-nonsense approach. And that team has followed in those footsteps. And I know they got no-nonsense approaches because they're all Spartans. So, you know, we expect them to come out fighting and we'll come out fighting as well. And it'll be a good matchup. You know, I think, I believe that we can get it done. We go out and play our best basketball, but they're gonna make us play our best basketball to get it done. And when our back's against the wall, I trust us. Coming up next after the break, I'll go around the association, discuss the LaMelo Bam controversy, Luka and Kade being rude, eligible for postseason awards while Anthony Edwards is not, and 76ers fans getting a little ahead of themselves. Be right back after this. All right, now that it's finally spring, I've been outside a lot more. Walking everywhere, making plans, even squeezing in a few weekend trips. And every year around this time, I realize my closet just isn't keeping up. I want stuff that looks good but can actually move with me.

Everything has a new VIP. Welcome back to the show. As promised, now we will move around the association. First up, the NBA announced that Luka and K are eligible for NBA awards like NBA MVP or NBA. Anthony Edwards remains ineligible. I told you all that last part, if K, Draymond Green was eligible for MVP, it would shake my list up a bit. So my list goes as follows. Shea Gildress-Alexander at 1. Cade Cunningham at 2. Victor Wembanyama at 3. Nikola Jokic at 4. And I got Luka Dončić at 5. I want Jaylen Brown on my first team, but I have a hard time putting him over the guy who got the number 1 seed. Kade is young, he's never done it before. And to lead that team 2 years ago, losing 24 straight games to the first seed in the East. That has to count for something. He's been great getting everybody involved, scoring the basketball. So my list goes, Shay, Kade, Vic, Joker, Luka. In an ideal world, there could be a tie with Luka and Draymond Green, but that's not quite how it goes. So that is my list for NBA MVP. And quite honestly, you know, the, the whole make them eligible is interesting to me because I actually think they should be eligible. As you all know, I thought that rule was dumb from the beginning. Cade Cunningham 1000% deserves to be All-NBA. Cade Cunningham with about 16, 17 games to go in the season, maybe a little less. Needed to play 2 more games to be eligible and had a collapsed lung. If that isn't extraordinary, I don't know what is. An extraordinary circumstance, I don't know what is. Luka Dončić needed to play 1 more game and got hurt the last game before. The game before the last game of the season. On top of that, he missed 2 games for the birth of his child. Now, listen, you can't punish someone for going on paternity leave. He actually didn't take a full paternity leave, but you can't punish someone for that. For instance, if he went on paternity leave, they can't take his salary. So he shouldn't be punished from an award standpoint for being present for something like the birth of a child. Yeah. So when I look at those guys, I'm actually happy that the NBA did this. If I'm Anthony Edwards, I would be a little pissed off because listen, I had an injury too. My knee was messed up. I could not play through it. It forced me to miss more games than Kade. Unfortunately, I think where Anthony Edwards' problem lies is probably falls on his team and their PR staff. Left knee injury management. The whole rule was put in to stop load management. And so when you put left knee injury management, that's what the NBA was protecting against with this rule. And ultimately, I think that's what probably screwed Anthony Edwards. However, if they were going to make a case for Ant-Man as well, then ultimately you have to just get rid of the rule. And I'll be interested in seeing like after the extraordinary circumstance changes, like what happens with this rule moving forward. But you know, I am happy the NBA did this because those guys are deserving, man. You can't tell me they're not our first team All-NBA performers. They are deserving and I'm happy the NBA got it right. So shout out to Adam Silver. Shout out to James Jones, Michael Levine, everybody else in the league office making these decisions. Job well done. Rewarding guys for what they earn is exactly the way it should go. Hornets and Heat have an instant classic to kick off the play-in game. However, the biggest story was not the game. The biggest story was LaMelo Ball potentially, intentionally tripping Bam outta bayou, causing Bam ultimately to fall on his butt, hurt his back, and have to exit the game. Before Bam exited that game, he was working Diallo. There was nothing Diallo could do in that post. No, excuse me, not Diallo, Diabate. Before Bam got hurt in the beginning of that game, he was working Diabate. And there was nothing Diabate could do to stop Bam in the post. Bam just putting his shoulder in his chest, getting right to the front of the rim, easy bucket. And then he got hurt. Now, I think I can speak to this as good or better than anyone because I am actually someone that my ankle got grabbed and I stumped on chest. And when the guy grabbed my ankle, There was no fines. There was no suspension to him. There was only suspension to me. But I said, "Yo, so him grabbing my ankle means nothing? He can just cradle my ankle like this while I'm trying to run?" And what I said back then was, "Unfortunately, I have to get hurt for them to do something to him." Mm-hmm. And that's a shame. That's a shame. If Bam Adebayo doesn't get hurt, LaMelo Ball doesn't get a fine. But let's take it a step further. I'm happy they didn't suspend LaMelo for a game because you can't suspend him just because he got hurt. And we saw the same thing when Sabonis grabbed my ankle and nothing happened. Absolutely nothing happened. So you can't have it both ways. Gotta pick a side. Yeah. Now, was it an intentional trip? To me, he grabbed his ankle and he pulled him. Yes, it was an intentional trip. Was he intentionally trying to hurt him? No, I don't think LaMelo's thinking, "I'm about to grab Bam ankle. He gonna fall on his ass and hurt his back." I don't think that. Mm-hmm. But those are two completely different things. Being an intentional trip and intentionally trying to hurt him are two completely separate things. And I don't think LaMelo was trying to hurt him. I do think LaMelo was pissed off and trying to trip him. Unfortunately, Bam got hurt. But again, we've seen these things before. When my ankle got grabbed, nothing happened because I didn't get hurt. So, Why do you have to get hurt? Why do, why is it just not about the intention? So I know Bam's pissed off. I'd be pissed off too. But like I said, I don't think LaMelo was trying to hurt him because number one, if you're grabbing the ankle, if you're trying to hurt, you're trying to hurt the ankle. Not trying to grab an ankle and hurt someone's back. That doesn't make sense. So I don't think he was intentionally trying to hurt him, but he definitely intentionally tripped him. Yeah. What do you make of that? That's for you to make what you wanna make of it. But I've told you what I make of it. The 76ers beat the Orlando Magic at home and will now play the Boston Celtics in the first round. The Boston Celtics and the 76ers has been facing up quite a bit over the years, over the last few years, obviously with Joel Embiid. Al Horford was there guarding Joel Embiid. There will be no Joel Embiid as we know so far. But you know, there will be Paul George, there will be VJ Escomb. So it'll be, I think this'll be a fun series. Ultimately I got Boston getting it done, but I think it'll be a very fun series. And I will warn the 76ers fans chanting, we want Boston, relax yourself. No you don't. But you got Boston and enjoy it, but relax yourself. The 76ers and the Boston Celtics has faced 5 times since 2000 in the NBA playoffs. And the 76ers has lost every single one of them. You don't want Boston. No, you don't. You've lost every single one of them. That ain't the team you wanna see, but that's who you got. And unfortunately, I don't think the 76ers can beat Boston. I just— Championship pedigree, it usually wins out and I think Boston's got the 76ers' number. They know exactly what to do to guard them. They know exactly how to attack their defense. And every time it works in Boston's favor. Wanna thank you all for tuning in to this episode of the Draymond Green Show. Let's get another win, one more game, and we get to take on the OKC Thunder.
