Draymond Green left fans triggered online with his opinions on Bucks vs Pacers Game 3. The Golden State Warriors‘ power forward has been hooked on to postseason fever. Apart from sharing his thoughts through his podcast, he also dropped raining comments via his social media. Tonight, however, Green faced the heat of the fans following his comment on Milwaukee Bucks‘ Brook Lopez.

The Wisconsin side suffered a close 118-121 loss in an overtime thriller, which pulled them 1-2 down in the series. Throughout the game, Green seemed to be upset with the position and mismatch with the 7 ‘1 tall, Brook Lopez. He took to his X handle stating, “Put Portis on turner. Play at the level of screen and drop with miles. Then you have Lopez at the rim and not Bobby. Game over.” He followed it up with two other posts: “You 7 foot brotha”, “Two O boards… switch the matchup game was over….”

On the other end, fans didn’t seem too pleased with the Dubs star’s repeated dig at the Bucks big man. So they went on to trash him. Green, who is reportedly at Cancun, enjoining his break, didn’t enjoy mercy. A fan wrote, “Blud giving tips from Cancun,” with a crying emoji. Surprisingly, DrayMagic responded to him, saying, “Brother they all fighting to catch me…Enjoying my break fam.”

Hilariously, Green further asked the fan, “Can you meet me?… Enjoy your box,” with a flurry of laughing emojis. It didn’t stop there. Plenty of other followers followed it up with similar reactions. Here are some of them.

A frustrated Dubs fan didn’t hesitate before calling the star for ruining the season for Stephen Curry. Notably, Green missed close to 20 games because of suspensions.

A loyal Bucks fan couldn’t take the Lopez criticism and reminded DrayMagic to enjoy his vacation.

Another Warriors fan pointed out the star’s suspension and took a dig at him for his violent antics on the court.

Despite the harsh comments, Green seemed unfazed by it, as he tackled them with hilarious responses.

Draymond Green gets comfortable online

Green’s fan interaction isn’t a one day thing. The star pulled off a similar banter with fans last night as well. During the Sixers-Knicks Game 3 match-up, Joel Embiid went viral for his questionable actions on the floor. While the majority of the NBA world criticized the big man, Green backed him with a post.

The Dubs star put out a post on his X handle that read, “Joel sells calls… I get it. But that no call on the middy was wild.” A fan frustrated with Green’s silence on Embiid’s non-basketball play of grabbing Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson. In response, the 4x NBA Champion dialed back the clock to the 2023 playoff first round between the Kings and Dubs. Green was ejected with a double flagrant foul, but before that, Domantas Sabonis grabbed Green’s leg.

Pointing that out, Green wrote, “You had nothing to say when Sabonis grabbed my ankle mid run, now did you?” leaving the comments in a frenzy. By the looks of it, Green might have an entertaining postseason, watching it along with fans.
