Pride of Saginaw Draymond Green

The pride of Michigan state calls TO with 0 TOS left in the finals. If I only remember where I’ve seen this before. 

Chris Webber says hi

He whined after every call in that game. He's the most dislikeable NBA player since Scottie Pippen. He's the douchiest douche ever to come out of East Lansing, and that's saying something. I won $240 on the Raps, who carried 12-1 odds into the playoffs. And I was in the crowd at the Chris Webber game in the Superdome. So this was pretty much the best ending I could have ever hoped for. Imma go listen to Drake.

Don’t care much for Green but the guy has a triple double in the NBA finals. Seriously give me those kind of embarrassing games for our NBA players any day. It’s really bad form to try to pile on someone that is trying to make up for 57ppg on the sidelines injured. Hell of a series and I didn’t even have a rooting interest.

Green is a douche but he had a hell of a playoff run. GS just ran out of gas (and all stars) against a confident, mature Toronto team that never let up and never looked overwhelmed by the stage. Great series.

Draymond's choices were to attempt the greatest and most improbable shot in the history of organized basketball, or try to extend the game and hope Toronto misses some FTs. 

Either way, they needed a miracle, but option 2 was a better scenario. They were still losing that game.

Kind of a dumb take. He called that time out, had he not the game would’ve just ended. He had a triple double and outside of Klay carried that team. Not a fan of his or MSU but this is just a cheap way to try and bash them.

Overall it was a great series. I was really rooting for VanVleet since I watched him a lot playing for Wichita State. He stayed all 4 years at Wichita State and got his degree before entering the draft. Plus it is nice to see the Raptors win their first NBA championship. Once the Pistons get good again I will be following the NBA more closely!

You all realize that whether Green purposefully did it or not, calling a timeout there was actually the correct decision and in the best interest of his team? So not really the same situation between these two events. Let’s not just troll to troll

well, I guess he could have heaved the ball, from the floor on his back, into the hoop?

Green is a conundrum. On the one hand, dude plays hard as anything, is a gifted passer, an amazing rebounder, and in general is an all star. On the other, he whines to the refs constantly (wonder where he learned that), kicks people in the nuts, scrapes people's eyes, and is an obvious douche. Hard to root for the guy as a result.

Give Dray credit.  After GS was down early in the series, he said no sweat, it will be over in six games.  He was right.  Just had the wrong team winning it.

You know..ignoring the merits of Draymond Green’s play and that particular decision....there sure are a lot of Warriors bandwagoners on here.

How do I figure?

Well, as a neutral person you probably wouldn’t quite come across so insulted and hurt when someone is mocking him. 

Never quite got how in the NBA its just considered par for the course for people everywhere to start rooting for the dominant teams.

Kerr, Andre Iguodala, and Quinn Cook were all signaling for a TO as well. If you put aside the fact that taking the tech was the only way to extend the game instead of just ending it rolling on the ground, then Draymond isnt even making a dumb decision on his own when most the team is doing the same thing.

Such is the duality of Draymond. No, I don't think it was a sage move to give the Warriors one last chance. Yes, he cost them a ring in '16. No, they don't get to the brink of pushing the Raptors to seven without him. Yes, he is bellicose and sort of ignorant, but one of those Laimbeer type guys you love when they are on your team.
