[Krawczynski] “no [Timberwolves] player would appear on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” after their victory in Game 4 in Dallas. The decision was a sign of support for Gobert and Towns, who were the subject of derisive and seemingly personal criticism from panelist and Golden State forward Draymond Green.”

Good for them man, TWolves seem like kind of a tight knit group for a team that came together pretty recently
Good- they shouldn’t. Makes total sense
Don’t blame em. Who even likes Green on TNT? He’s annoying AF, on the court and off the court
respect. Inside was unbearable to watch i cant even imagine for wolves fans. it was just constant hate with draymond on.
what the hell was TNT thinking
It’s ok, they went fishing instead.
Jokes aside, the obvious hate for Gobert from Draymond was too much, even Kenny kept acknowledging it.
I feel like this becomes more the norm as “sports news” type programs engage in more and more negativity and straight up trolling or have guys who are just straight assholes on there.
Players have always had to deal with it but at some point it becomes just absurd, players don’t even want to engage with it.
**And what are you supposed to do as a teammate?** **Go on that show and joke around with some assholes bashing your friend? No way man.**
Fuck Draymond Green. We’ve earned the right as NBA fans to watch him fade into irrelevancy after his career as opposed to having to deal with him as an analyst.
Draymond has been on a generational hate watch. Imagine if he was also covering the Celtics in the finals.
You knew Draymond was looking for the tiniest things – anything – that he could use to criticize Rudy’s game, and Rudy gave him a lot of material throughout the Dallas series.
Having had Draymond on Inside the NBA is such a mistake.
He’s just name recognition and shitty hot takes.
Unlike, say, ESPN’s show and Stephen A., fans don’t hate watch the Inside the NBA show.
That’s cool I support that I hate this trolling on networks. Having Draymond there doesn’t make sense anyway. Suns should have boycotted ESPN for a year after they let clown on every single ESPN program after game 7.
Good on the Wolves. It was so annoying to watch Draymond try to butter up Mavs players so they’d shit on Gobert/KAT. Bro’s too old to take his personal vendettas on live TV, gtfo no one wants to listen to your old, unstable ass
The Wolves Boycott inside the NBA in game 4.
I side the NBA removes Draymond Green from the show for game 5.
I’ve never seen a boycott work so fast.
I don’t think Towns got “shit” on just normal analysis. Rudy got attacked lmao.
TNT just lets those dudes brew toxicity sometimes, I don’t blame the players. But hey they got all social media content off having dray there so they got what they wanted.
Draymond’s critiques were so dumb… the only reason he can even be on there is because his team didn’t make the playoffs. Over the top hating on guys who are currently having way more success than you as a current player is just silly and lame.
Chuck and Shaq clown and goof on people, but have respect. Draymond has zero respect.
Wonder if this is why Draymond wasn’t on the last broadcast, if Wolves won they wanted to have an interview.
If I’m a Wolves fan, I’m thinking that someone’s gotta tell Green to fuck off to his face, this is good too but I doubt Green of all people would get the message. Something like Kobe cussing out Chuck on his phone is needed to get through to him.
It’s really nice when the team you love is vibing with each other. When spirits and friendships are high it’s just a nice thing to watch. You feel more a part with it.
Both Conference Finals losing teams were like that this year.
Good on them
Honestly would’ve loved to see them go on and roast Green for getting ejected anytime Steph is out and not being able to win without Steph/KD.
That’s quite funny because he was the only one who gave Gobert any credit for game 4
Respect.
Look, regardless of your opinion of Draymond, I just think it’s extremely unprofessional to spend your time on the marquee show for a sport to air out your personal grievances every. single. moment. you’re giving ostensibly pro-level analysis on the game. Dude went wayy out of his way to return everything to how much he thinks Gobert sucks, and it wasn’t even funny! It’d be kinda funny if it was subtle but it was all the fucking time and overt, uncomfortable and petty
Good
Real ones. I respect it
They deadass should have sent Daishan Nix to the TNT postgame in Game 4
Thank god this didn’t come out before game 5 so I didn’t have to hear Shaq call them soft
14 feet of disappointment
Love to see this. Fuck Draymond
All Draymond did was call a spade a spade. KAT and Gobert sucked for most of the series.
Good for them, I’d tell Draymond to suck my nuts
First time in years i didn’t watch Inside the NBA. Sucks for them to go out on this note. I know it won’t happen, but I hope outlets recognize this and don’t bring Green on. But he gets clicks so my wish is probably just that.
this is a legit embarrassing revelation for draymond and TNT. hope they’re watching
