Although, Green has picked up the pace against the Los Angeles Lakers, he is far from his best. In the latest episode of The Draymond Show, he talked about learning how to defend without fouling. The reason being? The Lakers are punishing teams from the free-throw line!

Green said, “Everything seemed to be going our way and then they went to the free throw line. Every play in that stops us from flowing, you know that stops the flow of the game. So I got to do a better job defending without fouling. We know what that does, not only to our defense, but to our offense as well.”

Additionally, the 4-time NBA All-Star also expressed his disappointment in the number of turnovers the Warriors had against the Lakers. Moreover, he also revealed that Stephen Curry was bamboozled when LeBron James did not shoot even once in the first quarter.

Fans call out Green

Over the past few months, NBA fans have expressed their annoyance over Draymond Green’s podcast on several occasions. According to the fans, recording and releasing the podcast might be a distraction Green should avoid.
