Draymond Green says his suspension helped the Warriors depth, Full Postgame Interview
Play has been kind of a continued storyline lately um hit 26 tonight 82 kind of played a complete game what do you think of how he looked tonight and then just generally where he’s at right I thought he looked really good tonight he looked composed uh he was you know
Not forcing anything uh he look like he was just at peace you know I saw some quotes from earlier today where he was talking about Reggie Miller and Ray Allen I don’t even know it was a real quote it felt like it was a real quote
Um but that’s great you know like you see young guys taking these next steps that they taking jks you know BP’s like you got to allow that growth and you got to be okay with that growth you know and I think clay um you know he he’s growing
Into that you know that’s that’s that’s an interesting position to be in you know and so to see him settling in I think it’s big for this team you know we we need clay uh we need a very good clay you know what which will allow us to
Make a run so was great to see him get settled in tonight and uh you know take advantage of the the the lineups that was out there with him and got some easy shots you know and then once you know once he saw I see a couple go in you
Know the rest is history you know you known clay for a while uh what’s it been like for you watching him sort of go through his his bumps and lumps this year and and sort of embrace what you mentioned uh his future uh I mean you know that’s a brother it’s my
Brother you know so you never want to see anyone struggle you never want to see anyone get crushed by the media crushed by the public that’s a tough thing to deal with you know and so um but yet he’s resilient always have been um so you know I don’t I don’t worry
About clay um CU he’s tough you know he’s tough as Nails you know so just got to be support support him you know that’s that’s where you know our job is to to make sure we’re supporting him at all times and that he know regardless of what’s going
On outside of this locker room the guys in this locker room have you a back I think that’s very important for us and important for him another game you guys went on the glass I think you’re in the top three in the NBA in rebounding rate since you’ve started been starting at
Center what are the keys against bigger teams to to control the glass like you guys have uh I think it starts with your defense you know if you’re not letting guys um penetrate and gaps you know and get to the hole then it it keeps your shell intact which allows you better
Rebounding position and I think we’ve been doing a lot better job defensively of just keeping the ball in front of us and you know when we keep the ball in front of us that that allows you to rebound and so and then it’s it’s it’s also a total team effort you know you
You see all those guards coming back in and fighting for rebounds I think a lot early on we were leaking out our GS was leaking out if I was at the top of the floor I was leaking out you know and not coming back and securing the ball ball
We understand that we have a ton of speed especially in the lineups that we’re starting now uh we have a ton of speed and if we’re SEC if we focus in secure the ball we can still get out and run you know we can still beat teams
Down the floor but it starts with securing the ball and so uh it’s been a point of emphasis for us um and you know I think we’re doing a pretty good job with for so much of the early season it was a struggle to find just a single fan
Lineup that could go out on the court and hold their own related County was just in in here saying now it’s 1 through 17 being able to contribute what has just led to everything kind of smoothing out these past couple weeks you guys um honestly I think me getting suspended
Helped uh in a weird way because number one since I got JK taken off you know and that has kind of set the stage for this team Bonafide number two option on our team and so now you got different things you’re able to figure out different things that we can go to our
Offense don’t look the exact same like it used to to look uh we got different things that we’re going to you’re able to find different combinations that worked um and then you know it’s just been kind of plug and place since then you know figuring the pieces out so um
Not that I wanted to get suspended uh or that was good or anything like that but I do think uh it it kind of helped us find different things that we can go to and explore and now you add me back into the freay you add GP back from his
Injury CP will be coming back and now you got those pieces um coming back that you know you know you can rely on but you know it’s not just us it’s everybody who’s stepping Lester ghe you know it’s everybody who’s going out there uh is playing good basketball so I think
That’s good for us how weird was today with no Steve no DeMarco no Adams and then obviously you knowing where they were Kenny mentioned it but we didn’t talk about it uh and I thought that was great you know you we’ve lived these emotions uh with decky uh and what
Happened and you know we knew coming back in here it would be awkward and it’ll be tough outside of Kenny um earlier this morning in film kind of giving us an update on Coach uh and Rick CD um I think Mike went uh Mike Zaza outside of him giving us an update on
How they were doing what what they were doing we didn’t say anything about it and I thought that was wonderful because the moment you started talking about it you start feeling all of those emotions again and although those emotions don’t go away they’re still there um I thought
It was good to kind of leave them in the back of mine as opposed to like we we can’t not live with that like that’s our guy like and uh you know you you deal with that pain every single day but you learn how to move forward you know and
In learning how to move forward you you place it somewhere in your mind where you can kind of compartmentalize in a sense and um I thought we did a great job of leaving it there not um not raing ourselves up uh with you know more emotions than the ones that we
Already have to deal with on a daily basis

Hi first
š
He should remain suspended
This dude cant stop acting like a clown. "Actually my unhinged behavior and suspension was a good thing for the team" He's a textbook socippath.
This dude is a clown š¤” how is he still in the nba..smh
dray got people mad in the comments I seeš
The warriors played way better without Steve Kerr.
yeah which is why they're a play-in team? the cope is insane and they have been pissing away the last 2 years of steph's career. him and klay should be gone
Draymond trollin hard with the suspension
draymond is trolling , he has to be.
So the warriors should be grateful?
Def go be in the wwe hof
Great Interview
Jazz got smoked
I aint even got to watch this to know he gonna be ego trippin' and cappin'
people wonāt allow the warriors to win. people cant accept the fact draymond did good in a game.
Yo, the people in the comments are so mad. He literally said he wasnt happy to be suspended but can see a silver lining. Would ya'll be happier if he was acting bitter? Submissive? During a media interview…?
Kenny Atkinson ready for head coach job
This dude is more narcissistic than an OF model.
crazy how draymond has come back and proved that he can control himself and perform when his team needs him… yet people still hate on him for who he is, love him or hate him HE IS A BIG IMPACT
damn the dray hate continues in these comments lol he's helping GSW get back where they fell from and proving he can control himself. Nobody's talking about how much Nurkic tried his absolute hardest to gaslight draymond in the last game & failed lol He's doing his job & they're winning games, give credit where it's due
Haterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
He's a good player, so what. He's a basket case who is gonna hurt someone bad one of these days. Try doing the stuff he pulls at your job and see what happens.
The people who cover for celebrities or stars, who have mental illness, will be just as guilty, when that person implodes.
The suspension didn't do anything. Dray hasn't changed whatsoever. He just has yet to sucker punch someone randomly again. Has whacked a few people in the face and gotten away with it though so far.
Edit: Some idiots who will not be named seem to think I like Nurkic. I don't particularly. I just think Draymond takes things too far sometimes and he gets away with all sorts of stuff. The whole indefinite suspension and league counseling didn't do jack sh*t. He just gave a token apology and then completely ignored everything he just said he learned. Only a matter of time before he gets suspended again at this rate.
This dude is still a š¤”
Draymond is the Engine for the team. The team can't function without him.
That's just not true. š When he got suspended the Warriors started losing games, now when he is back the Warriors are winning games….
How can you say his suspension helped the Warriors. He is clearly important to this team, that's like saying Ja Morant's suspension helped the Grizzlies.
Remember people were saying weād be better off without him? Lol
Lol true narcissist
Daric need to sit down. He is a defensive liability. I will settle with TDJ's 2 points and good defense rather than Saric's 3 points but bad defense
People big madš remember 4 time champ for a reason
These haters starting to panic and Drayday livin rent free in yall heads. Let me state some FACTS since Dray came back on Jan 15th. Warriors have a 125 PPG 115.5 OPP PPG. That is over the last 12 games , in the last 7 games that is 122.87 PPG 109.87 OPP PPG (that includes the shitty Atlanta game) and is good enough to be ranked 4th in the league for defense. With GP2 back they can easily maintain this number if not improve it on top of having one of the easiest schedules in the league. Wiggs + GP2 + Dray on the floor will lock any team up period.
No other team in the league is +10 PPG Diff and a big part of that is because of Dray, he is and will always be the glue for the team on both ends of the floor.
I found all the warriors fans. Just read the comments.
On i NurkiÄ se baÅ” ne vole. Nažalost slabo verujem da Äe se Green promeniti na bolje. Iako se trudio da pokaže kroz skoro igranje. Ne raÄunajuÄi ovaj jedan tehniÄki faul koji je dobio jer se žalio sudiji. š
Every time the Warriors win, the bronsexual media sounds so sad. šŖ I feel for the haters, especially the Draymond haters. I feel your sadness and bitterness.
D Green said that? Dat is š§¢.
He should get suspended again so the team can get even deeper
