You cannot take your eyes of the drama in this fiery bout between the Champions of the East and the Conquerors of the West. Draymond Green is one of the most toughest players, well how are vicious words from the TD Garden pinching him so badly ? Is there a more polarizing player in the NBA than Draymond Green ? none come to mind. TD Garden trolled him and the Warriors at large, as they succumbed to Boston in Game 3. This led Draymond and the Warriors players to speak out aginst the hostile crowd, which charles abrkley did not like.

Barkley believes that Draymond Green has been a distraction, and the young players on the Warriors have been affected the most.

“I think he has become a distraction. And those young guys, he needs to be pumping up those young guys they’ve never been in a fight before. I mean, obviously you think about it, Klay and Steph have been in a fight, but the young guys, they are distracted because they are asking questions about Draymond doing podcasts. You know the crowd is cursing him out.”

“Every time he gets that type of animosity on the road, yo man them other young guys, they are distracted by that, you know, it’s a distraction. They have never been in a hostile environment. Dallas wasn’t a hostile environment, Dallas got a great crowd, but they’re not hostile. Boston, them people are hostile, so I think Draymond, he did a huge mistake throwing gasoline on the fire.” Charles Barkley retorted. Draymond Green would not have survived with his antics in the 1980-90s era. The Golden State Warriors forward would have received swift payback from the opposing players, according to

The NBA Finals probably isn’t the greatest place to bring your three-year-old, especially with games having such non-pleasant words flying around. Steph and company are not one’s to give as they will look to feed on the hatred dished out by the Boston fans at the Garden. With Klay in his rhythm and Poole growing slowly in the series, the Warriors will give the Celtics a run for their money, as for Draymond, he would like to steer clear of any Boston fans and Charles Barkley in the future.
