Draymond Green Appreciation Thread

[Little Digger]

he is probably the biggest reason we have a legit shot at winning the ring again this year.

lol wot?

that's just not true. "one of the biggest reasons", yes.

No he's the biggest reason..No probably's needed

KG last night on Green: "To me out of all of this, Draymond Green, who's the most versatile player in our league. He can consolidate the ball. He can rebound it . He can bring it up. He can initiate the offense. They put him in the post to share the ball. He's playing defense. He's the engine. Did you see the energy he brought to the game tonight.? He brought a whole nother lever. It was like Kevin Durant was the fire but Draymond Green was the super duper chilli if you will. You would think he had 39 tonight . He to me is the biggest part of this team. He makes this team go. He can score he can do all the things . Yet as the end of the night he doesnt have to have all the numbers to get all the recognition."

Another appreciation point : No Dray, no KD on GS. His best friend on a team since James Harden.

Dray speaks on some of the technical s he's getting called on for screaming:

This is typically what happens in the NBA when you get a bad rep.

lol wot?

we are a 95/100 offense and 75/100 defense team. Green is 50 out of that 75 defense.

Draymond the last two games has been him at his best. Complete defensive stud, after a slow start he looks so much more comfortable in his role out there.

Need at tech counter at top of web page LOL. Or maybe a phone widget. More important then a lot of things aye?

Kerr on Draymond: "I think he's been brilliant."
Dray keeps being a boss.

I said before the season that Dray and Durant will be the two that need to change the most if this team wants to turn into one of the GOATs instead of winning 2 in 4 or 5 years which they should do with the talent they have. Dray is pretty much seamlessly going through this role after the first 3 games. I do fear that he's going to get burned out at this rate since he's not getting as much help as he should. Zaza has been a huge disappointment and Durant stopped bothering going for boards or blocks in the last two games for whatever reason.

Green's the W's MVP again this season..Without him the Warriors would be a mess.

Dray seems to be in the best physical shape I've ever seen him. Even better than he was last year and the championship year. He must have been on a really good workout program this season (in between smacking guys upside their heads and tweeting his Johnson).

[Phase 3]

Draymond's toughness is vital to this team's success. I just hope he doesn't get worn down playing next to guys like Zaza and West. He needs some help down there.

Thanks for posting those. Draymond has been amazing so far this year.

[StepBackCrack]

You are welcome. I agree. He has been incredible so far. His BB IQ keeps making me amazed. One of the best in the league. He knows his own value to the team and always gives everything. I love his competitiveness so much and the massive emotional support he gives to the team is beyond amazing. Love how he almost always manages to energize the whole team. He makes the whole team better in many ways. He is the kind of player that you always want to be on your side.

Green is a stud. He's notorious for studying pretty much every player in the NBA. I would say one of the smartest guys in the league considering the mental game he puts in.

Translated..."I don't know basketball very well so can't appreciate an all defensive player who has been a critical piece of a championship and finals run"

But...thank you for the troll

I'm not trolling. On another team Draymond would be nothing. Offensively and Defensively he would fall completely offthe map.

Rowell, your comments may have rung true 2-3 seasons ago, but coaches know how Draymond can effect games on both O and D, and if he were traded to another team, it would be to make him the same player for them as he is for us, that's how good he is.

So, flame away, you're just flat out wrong in the most entertaining way.

There's no way this is Rowell.

Team to push for Dray as DPOY this year:

I thought Dray should have got it at least once out of the last two years, especially two years ago when Kawhi was hurt a good portion of the year.
