Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Straymond Green Show.
Speaker 1: This is our third episode of a week and kind
Speaker 1: of not expect it, but as you know, I am
Speaker 1: not one to stand behind anything. So why are we
Speaker 1: doing this episode? It's because I'm in my hotel room
Speaker 1: in Atlanta because I'm suspended for a game for reaching
Speaker 1: the technical file limit of sixteen. For those of you
Speaker 1: that don't understand what that is, that sixteen texts you
Speaker 1: get a one game suspension, and then every subsequent tech
Speaker 1: after that you get a suspension, so say eighteen twenty,
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I won't get I'll maybe get one more
Speaker 1: text And now I got one that I can get.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I actually am. You know, I
Speaker 1: take my lumps on and chin. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: You got to deal with it. Quite frankly, I thought
Speaker 1: I did not think the tech the other day should
Speaker 1: have got rescinded like that kind of is what it is.
Speaker 1: I thought that there would be texts from earlier in
Speaker 1: the year that I for sure knew I probably weren't
Speaker 1: deserving that tech. We'll get rescinded. But then they said
Speaker 1: those were two like it was too late to rescind
Speaker 1: those which didn't quite know that rule. But it is
Speaker 1: what it is. Sucks for a couple of reasons. Number one,
Speaker 1: we're just in really tight standards and every game kind
Speaker 1: of matters at this point, so we'd like to play tonight.
Speaker 1: But in saying that, I still have confidence that our
Speaker 1: guys are going to get it done and it just
Speaker 1: is what it is. Going to come out ready to
Speaker 1: go tomorrow versus Memphis, which is a big game for us,
Speaker 1: as you know, all things considered. Obviously, the little Memphis thing.
Speaker 1: But then also, like I said, the standards, and so
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting back to that game. What
Speaker 1: I will say about the suspension thing, I've been suspended
Speaker 1: before and in this league, and what I will say
Speaker 1: is it's like a totally different vibe within me than
Speaker 1: it has been before. And I think that's in large
Speaker 1: part due to the road that Joe Dumars is in
Speaker 1: and just how he was a player and how he
Speaker 1: understands the things they're good and then also a general manager,
Speaker 1: you know, so being on that side um now you know,
Speaker 1: working with the league, he's seen it from so many
Speaker 1: different angles. I think Joe Dumars is such an asset
Speaker 1: to the NBA. Just being added on to the to
Speaker 1: the league staff, I think it's huge. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's tremendously helped, like the relationship amongst players in the
Speaker 1: league office. And it's not that you know, guys don't
Speaker 1: have relationships with people in league office, because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you look at our league,
Speaker 1: we're probably the best at that. But it's just uh,
Speaker 1: certain processes, for instance, the process of how suspensions normally happened.
Speaker 1: It's just totally different. Though the conversations that I had
Speaker 1: are totally different. It's more of a partnership and like
Speaker 1: working together than it's ever been, and I think that's huge.
Speaker 1: I actually always speak on that with the whole rougheree
Speaker 1: in topic. It's like it's me versus you, when in
Speaker 1: fact we're all working together to kind of put this
Speaker 1: great product out for our fan base. And so ultimately
Speaker 1: it requires everyone to operate at a level in order
Speaker 1: to operate at a certain level in order to put
Speaker 1: out the product that is the NBA, that is a
Speaker 1: top notch product. And so I think that's absolutely amazing
Speaker 1: and saying that, like it's like you're working towards this
Speaker 1: thing and like, okay, you gouts suspended for a game,
Speaker 1: but it's just a totally different feel about it, like
Speaker 1: you actually spoke to somebody, You're actually heard out, you know,
Speaker 1: you actually work through some things and then when you
Speaker 1: end at the final answer, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But to actually work through those things, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think that is a totally different thing in the
Speaker 1: league office, and I think Joe Dumars has been huge
Speaker 1: for that. So I say kudos to the league office.
Speaker 1: I'm not one that's gonna sit here and cry and
Speaker 1: complain about, you know, over spilled milk. It is what
Speaker 1: it is. Got to do the work to make sure
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do for this team happens. And
Speaker 1: that's that. Um. I'm also a little relieved that I
Speaker 1: don't have that thing hanging over my head. I've had
Speaker 1: that hanging over my head for at least twenty games
Speaker 1: of that fifteen tech and getting a sixteen tech, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something that that has changed things for me.
Speaker 1: Am I going to contest the call? Absolutely? Like you're
Speaker 1: in the heat of the battle. It's a very passionate game,
Speaker 1: you know, and so am I gonna say something about
Speaker 1: it call? Absolutely? But as saying that, I had UM
Speaker 1: referee Kevin Scott, who's one of the referees, so I
Speaker 1: have a really good relationship with UM. He missed a
Speaker 1: call and I felt like he missed another car and
Speaker 1: I said something to him on we were standing at
Speaker 1: the free throw line and I just said, damn, cal like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like you like like I
Speaker 1: feel personal, And he was like Draymond. He said, Man,
Speaker 1: I got two kids at home. I have people that
Speaker 1: they're watching every call I make. I'm being greater on
Speaker 1: every single call I make. I'm busting my ass out here,
Speaker 1: like I'm fighting for my life every day I come
Speaker 1: out here when I make these calls, I'm fighting for
Speaker 1: my life on the daily. Like I wouldn't try to
Speaker 1: miss a call like I like, I try to get
Speaker 1: every single call right because I'm fighting for my life
Speaker 1: on the daily. And that gave me an entirely different
Speaker 1: perspective from Rougherees, like like it humanized the Rougherees for me.
Speaker 1: And so actually, from that point I was able to
Speaker 1: go the amount of games that I went without getting
Speaker 1: the technical file, and quite frankly, my technical file that
Speaker 1: suspends me come from an interaction with another player, because
Speaker 1: Russ pushed me in the back and I threw the ball.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I thought that, I, you know, the different
Speaker 1: pushing in the back. That pushing the back definitely felt
Speaker 1: like a pissed off I'm being guarded the way I'm
Speaker 1: guarded pushing the back, And quite frankly, it wasn't like
Speaker 1: a malicious throw the ball. I literally said, man, come on, Russ,
Speaker 1: and that was that, you know, So, like I said,
Speaker 1: not crying over spilled milk, it is what it is. Overall,
Speaker 1: kudos to the NBA on how their new processes going.
Speaker 1: I think that's huge. I think that's going to be
Speaker 1: great for the league. I think that's great for player relationship,
Speaker 1: league relationship. It will continue to grow the relationship amongst
Speaker 1: players and for reeze, which I think is huge. So
Speaker 1: it is what it is, man, I take my stuff
Speaker 1: on the chin. I gotta bounce back the way you
Speaker 1: bounce back. And that's what it is. With that shout
Speaker 1: out to my spartans, I know you see the hoodie.
Speaker 1: Michigan State got the dub today as expected. So if
Speaker 1: you recall last June the Golden State Warriors won the
Speaker 1: championship and they were playing against the Boston Celtics and
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, was it a significance of this, Draymond, what
Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? Well, because our producer
Speaker 1: Jackson is a Boston Celtics fan. Okay, So Jackson hit
Speaker 1: me up earlier this week he like, yeah, USC baby,
Speaker 1: this that another I'm like, Jackson, bet whatever you want
Speaker 1: to bet, because no chance to USC is be to
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Like this is basketball that's not happening. Like
Speaker 1: we like Michigan State is Michigan State, and so then
Speaker 1: you know, we placed our bet. And so I said
Speaker 1: all of that to say, it just seems like the
Speaker 1: teams that Jackson cheers for against me, they lose. And
Speaker 1: so that's a great day to the DeMar de Rosen
Speaker 1: I told Demarrow, said, man, this this, this, this game
Speaker 1: looks worse than when I ended your career in college.
Speaker 1: You know. Then DeMar went on his one and dumb
Speaker 1: way and went on to the Toronto routors. But Michigan State.
Speaker 1: I ended DeMar's career when he was at USC, you know.
Speaker 1: So nothing but good vibes with the Trojans. Quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I'm a Saginaw Trojan, so I get it. I know
Speaker 1: the feeling of being a trojan. Today just wasn't a
Speaker 1: good day to be a Trojan. It's a great day
Speaker 1: to be a Spartan. Shout out to my Spartan dogs.
Speaker 1: We got Marquette coming up, Matt coming up next, d Wade, Wan,
Speaker 1: you you all, you guys, you name Marquette, guys. I'm
Speaker 1: taking all bets Spartan dogs for the win. We're going
Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen and then we'll move further that's
Speaker 1: a route from this episode of The Draymond Green shown
Speaker 1: till next time Piece
