All of this has led to fans being bitter about Draymond recording his podcast, days before Game 2 of the NBA Finals. His post game comments, too, came off as a bit dismissive of the Celtics’ effort throughout the match.

After that, he posted a combative tweet defending himself. The post basically told people not to police what he is doing with his time because he already did the homework.

Fans, too, have joined in on the fun. They are calling out Green for being a bit too sensitive to criticism. These are some of the choicest reactions from NBA Twitter, where Draymond has certainly taken an “L”:

Yet, to see him struggle this badly shows that the Warriors do have a potentially fatal flaw in their plan, in case Steph Curry doesn’t show up. Celtics did exactly that after the 1st quarter.

Defensively, Green got 11 rebounds and 2 steals, yet he must be feeling responsible for the Celtics comeback. If the Warriors need to recover from this setback, Dray needs to be more aggressive offensivel and if he does not do that, then the Warriors are in a world of trouble.
