Speaker 1: Fuck Draymond. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to The Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. This is an episode thirty eight, and we're
Speaker 1: recording this Wednesday night, obviously after Game three loss, in
Speaker 1: which my performance was utterly ridiculous, but and obviously I
Speaker 1: filed out and all of that jazz. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into that first. Let's just go into the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Celtics take Game three. D Jayson Tatum finished with
Speaker 1: six points, six rebounds, and nine assists. Jalen Brown finished
Speaker 1: with nine and five. Let's just get right into it.
Speaker 1: I think you know when you when you look at
Speaker 1: those guys stat line, especially for j T. I don't
Speaker 1: think the twenty seven points is something that you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to twenty six points. It's something that you're
Speaker 1: up in arms about. Points is a good night, but
Speaker 1: it's nothing out of the ordinary for him or I
Speaker 1: don't think you're really up in arms about the nine assists,
Speaker 1: but you are up in arms up if it's both.
Speaker 1: And so I think, you know, when when you look
Speaker 1: at uh j T stat line, and he brought a
Speaker 1: certain level of fire, competitiveness, and toughness to the game.
Speaker 1: Uh he was attacking, but it can't be scoring and assist,
Speaker 1: you know. I think for us you kind of have
Speaker 1: to pick one or the other. You have to take
Speaker 1: something away, and I don't think we did a very
Speaker 1: good job of that. I thought they especially j T.
Speaker 1: I thought he drove into the paint quite a bit,
Speaker 1: broke our defense down. Jaylen Brown as well. I thought
Speaker 1: they both got into the paint, broke the defense down,
Speaker 1: and then obviously that's where you get the kickouts, that's
Speaker 1: where you get um all these guys you know, essentially
Speaker 1: playing well. And so for us, I think our point
Speaker 1: of attack our defense at the point of attack has
Speaker 1: to be a lot better. That was something that we
Speaker 1: talked about in game one or after game one, and
Speaker 1: then we also spoke about it after game too, but
Speaker 1: it being way different than it was in game one,
Speaker 1: and in game three was kind of much of the
Speaker 1: same as game one. So I think, you know, for us, UM,
Speaker 1: we have to come with more force against those two guys.
Speaker 1: They can't just break us down and get into the paint.
Speaker 1: And that obviously starts with me. Um. Before we get
Speaker 1: to me, will continue to talk, uh Dove. Stephan and
Speaker 1: Clay both shot well. Um. Steph finished with thirty one points,
Speaker 1: Clay finished with twenty five points, and that was good
Speaker 1: to see. Obviously Steph has had a roll in our series,
Speaker 1: but to get Clay going, I thought that was a
Speaker 1: very big deal for us, and I think that was
Speaker 1: definitely something that we needed to do, and going in
Speaker 1: game four that would be beneficial for us, however, and
Speaker 1: saying that in that being beneficial for us, and and
Speaker 1: knowing you know, step is going to continue to do
Speaker 1: what he's doing been doing this entire series. Clay seemed
Speaker 1: to have found a rhythm tonight, and like I said
Speaker 1: that very important. I have to hold up my end
Speaker 1: of the bargain as I had to after game one. Now,
Speaker 1: tonight may have been one of the worst games of
Speaker 1: my career, and I know people will say, oh, man,
Speaker 1: you had two three four or two four three, whatever
Speaker 1: it was, Um, you played terrible. And I'll be one
Speaker 1: honest with you, I am. I would never be a
Speaker 1: guy that looks at a box score and say I
Speaker 1: played good or I played bad, because box scores don't
Speaker 1: always tell the story. Um. But where I felt that
Speaker 1: I played terrible was was my overall impact on the game.
Speaker 1: I didn't have the type of force that I need
Speaker 1: to have in order for us to win at this level.
Speaker 1: And know, when I look back on it, I think
Speaker 1: I honestly, I totally outsmart at myself. Um. And and
Speaker 1: coming into the game, you know, you hear all the chatter,
Speaker 1: and you hear all the noise, and the noise gets
Speaker 1: closer and closer to you, and it's like, hey, you
Speaker 1: can't get into it the rust. Hey, you have to
Speaker 1: be very careful. You can't go into the game like this.
Speaker 1: And not that I am blaming my performance on anybody,
Speaker 1: because I don't blame anything from doing me on anybody.
Speaker 1: I'm a man of mine. I hold mine, I stand
Speaker 1: on it, and that's just that. But I think for me,
Speaker 1: I just let too much noise get into my head
Speaker 1: about all the other stuff, and so in turn, I
Speaker 1: let that drag my intensity level down. I let it. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going into the game like all right,
Speaker 1: you know I'm not gonna say this, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not gonna get a rough reason chance
Speaker 1: to call a tech and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I did the exact opposite of what I said
Speaker 1: I was going to do or what I needed to do.
Speaker 1: I did the exact opposite. I actually did what most
Speaker 1: people think I should do, and that just doesn't work
Speaker 1: for me. You know, that's not who I am. So ultimately, UM,
Speaker 1: I have gotten to this position. And when I say
Speaker 1: I have gotten to this position, I mean I am
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, I you know, NBA player and be All Star.
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. I've gotten there by
Speaker 1: simply being me and trusting and who I am trusting
Speaker 1: and what I bring to the court, and ultimately kind
Speaker 1: of just blocking out the noise because there's always noise,
Speaker 1: and then I didn't do that, and so I think
Speaker 1: for me, um, the biggest adjustment is just coming out
Speaker 1: and being Draymond Green. So I hear all the chattering noise,
Speaker 1: and thank god it's only a day between games, uh,
Speaker 1: and not the two days in between and then waiting
Speaker 1: all the way to nine pm and having to hear
Speaker 1: all this jump um for a couple of days. I
Speaker 1: only have to listen to it for one day. So
Speaker 1: that is if there's any silver lining, it's that. But um,
Speaker 1: I think you know it's on me and I'll always
Speaker 1: take mine on the chin. You know you dish it,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to take it. I'm cool with that,
Speaker 1: and so I just have to play better and as
Speaker 1: we know, like I said before, I played better, we win.
Speaker 1: And it's just that simple. So big shout out to
Speaker 1: my teammates and how they approached the game and how
Speaker 1: we played the game. Uh. Down, I think we got
Speaker 1: down as much as nineteen points and then to come
Speaker 1: back there in the third quarter and take a one
Speaker 1: point lead, uh, says a lot about it, says a
Speaker 1: lot about the group that we have. And for me,
Speaker 1: if I am holding up my end of the bargain
Speaker 1: and we take that lead. It keeps going. It doesn't stop.
Speaker 1: It doesn't you know, stall out, and they get to
Speaker 1: go on. It keeps rolling. And so have to be
Speaker 1: better in game four, will be better in game four. Uh,
Speaker 1: just kind of gotta find that rhythment and get emotionally
Speaker 1: locked into the game from the very beginning. And like
Speaker 1: I said, when I do that, we'll play well and
Speaker 1: we'll win. And so the goal is to go back
Speaker 1: to San Francisco tied up to the two. And I
Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind that we are capable
Speaker 1: of doing that. Um, when you know, I know everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, well, what's the big adjustment or you
Speaker 1: know that once you get to the NBA Finals, there
Speaker 1: are no big adjustments, like you know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: They know what you're gonna do. Now, who's gonna play
Speaker 1: more force, who's going to get the loose balls, who's
Speaker 1: going to do the dirty work? Who? That's who wins
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. And as you can see they
Speaker 1: did that tonight. UM, fifteen offensive rebound. We've rebounded well
Speaker 1: this entire playoffs. Can't give up fifteen offensive rebounds to
Speaker 1: a team that's come on. They all rebounded US forty
Speaker 1: seven to thirty one. That right there at on fifteen
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds. So that just shows the force that they
Speaker 1: played with. Um. They played like their backs was against
Speaker 1: the wall. They played essentially like they were down O
Speaker 1: two and we didn't. I didn't, and because I didn't,
Speaker 1: we didn't. So, like I said, you know me, you
Speaker 1: know how I roll. I take it on the chin.
Speaker 1: When it's good, you roll with it and you feel
Speaker 1: good about it. When it's bad, you don't run from it.
Speaker 1: I'm never running from anything. I'm never ducking anything. I
Speaker 1: have to play bet It's it's just that simple. And
Speaker 1: there are some things that I can come out and do.
Speaker 1: Number One, attack more. I think you know I I
Speaker 1: didn't attack at all tonight, and that is a direct
Speaker 1: And when I say attack, I mean offensively and defensively.
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm not just gonna sit here
Speaker 1: and talk, you know, or act like it's um just offense,
Speaker 1: like I need to be better or it's just defense. Now.
Speaker 1: I need to be better all around. I need to
Speaker 1: be the player that I am. I need to be
Speaker 1: the all star that I am, and so I have
Speaker 1: to be an attack mode both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: My guys feed off of that. That's what I bring
Speaker 1: to this team. I am the emotional leader of this team.
Speaker 1: And when you are, you know, to to to whom
Speaker 1: much has given, much is required. And my mom has
Speaker 1: always told me that, uh, my entire life, to who
Speaker 1: much has given, much required, much respect has been given,
Speaker 1: much respect has been earned. Um. But with that comes
Speaker 1: a responsible and I didn't uphold that responsibility tonight. I
Speaker 1: didn't I let my guys down tonight. So, like I
Speaker 1: said before, we we already gave a game away that
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have. You gotta go take a game that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't get. That's game four. So I have a
Speaker 1: lot of say so in that. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of control in that, and I have to make sure
Speaker 1: I use that the right way. I have to make
Speaker 1: sure I take advantage of that and bring to my
Speaker 1: team what I know I need to bring to my team.
Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind that I'll do that.
Speaker 1: UM been here before, Clay Thompson said after me, Dre,
Speaker 1: this is feeling very two thousand and fifteen ish. Absolutely, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, being down to the cast to the one, UM,
Speaker 1: and going in the game for obviously down to one,
Speaker 1: we got that win, We rolled on and win the
Speaker 1: next two and win the NBA Finals. I see this
Speaker 1: being no different. I soul. I want to discuss the
Speaker 1: last play where I filed out. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think for me and like my mind was going in
Speaker 1: that situation because I heard Steph on the bottom of
Speaker 1: that pile screaming like ah, and I realized they were
Speaker 1: on his legs. So for me, I was gonna take
Speaker 1: the file just to get them off his legs and
Speaker 1: stop to play. So as you can see, I went
Speaker 1: file and turn immediately back to him to make sure
Speaker 1: he's okay. And you know that's obviously going to be
Speaker 1: a storyline of Friday's game. Steph's health, how's he feeling.
Speaker 1: Obviously need to get a lot of treatment over the
Speaker 1: course of this next day and a half and put
Speaker 1: yourself in the best position to be as healthy as
Speaker 1: you possibly can. Nobody's one percent healthy in the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: after an eight two game season, after three playoff series,
Speaker 1: and in the midst of a fourth one, no one's
Speaker 1: one healthy. So I have to understand that now that's
Speaker 1: obviously an acute injury. As new as fresh, probably a
Speaker 1: little ginger and all of that, but trusting our training staff,
Speaker 1: trusting the work that steps all Step always puts in
Speaker 1: that he will be healthy and finding ready to go
Speaker 1: on Friday. I'll be ready to go. And we go
Speaker 1: out here and we do what the doves do? You know,
Speaker 1: We go out here, we win a role game, take
Speaker 1: control back of the series, and go back home. Um,
Speaker 1: nothing changes, you know, Like I said, it's no big
Speaker 1: adjustments coming, no big adjustments needed other than the big
Speaker 1: adjustment is me and how I approached the game. So cool,
Speaker 1: Everybody say what they want. I'm cool with that. I
Speaker 1: roll with that. Everybody's gonna talk. That's great. I love it.
Speaker 1: Please do when you do, make sure you shout out
Speaker 1: the Dramond Green Show because that always helps. I had
Speaker 1: I had a for to asked me tonight, Like the
Speaker 1: reporter said, he said, UM, do you think you know,
Speaker 1: do you worry that you're giving away excess and those
Speaker 1: on your podcast when you're doing a podcast, U that
Speaker 1: opposing coaches are watching you and they're taking the excess
Speaker 1: and those that you're talking about and and and they're
Speaker 1: using them. And I said, Um, no, not at all
Speaker 1: But what excess and old conversation did you take away
Speaker 1: from the podcast? He said, Well, the only X and
Speaker 1: O conversation that I took away from the podcast was
Speaker 1: that you were referencing that that that when you were
Speaker 1: talking about how you need to stop Marcus Smart, Al
Speaker 1: Horford and Derek White after Game one. That's the only
Speaker 1: excess and those I took from the podcast. So, no,
Speaker 1: so you're just searching for something. You just you're you're, you're,
Speaker 1: you're of the masses that Draymond shouldn't be doing a
Speaker 1: podcast during the NBA Finals. Sorry sir, but saying we
Speaker 1: need to stop Derrek White, Al Horford and Marcus Smart
Speaker 1: is not really ex and os unless that is as
Speaker 1: high as your i Q level reaches in the game
Speaker 1: of basketball. And if that is as high as your
Speaker 1: i Q level reaches, then I totally understand thinking that
Speaker 1: that is exces and ohs. But that's not quite excess
Speaker 1: and ohs. Nonetheless, this whole narrative of Draymond's focused on
Speaker 1: podcasting and blah blah blah. Listen, y'all gonna get this podcast.
Speaker 1: Like I told y'all the beginning to East Playoffs, this
Speaker 1: podcast ain't going nowhere. I'm going to leave the arena.
Speaker 1: I'm going to return to this hotel room. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: return to my home when we're back in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to film this podcast. It then be
Speaker 1: uploaded by Jackson. It would be edited by Jackson and
Speaker 1: uploaded by Jackson, and then you will turn this podcast
Speaker 1: on and you will listen. And that's just that you're
Speaker 1: gonna get this podcast. It baffles me. It's so funny
Speaker 1: when I when I hear people like, oh, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be podcast So what should I be doing when I
Speaker 1: get to my room? Like should I go to sleep?
Speaker 1: Should I watch the film of the game? Because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do that anyway, So what should I be doing
Speaker 1: when I get to my room? I want to know
Speaker 1: the real answer from people that say Draymond shouldn't be podcasting.
Speaker 1: So I hear all the noise about the podcast, it's
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. You're gonna get this podcast. If you
Speaker 1: don't want to listen, don't, But you're gonna get this podcast.
Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about it, great, you know.
Speaker 1: I know, like there's media people. I'm sorry that this
Speaker 1: podcast is probably doing better numbers than yours, but or
Speaker 1: your attempt at during the podcast, I ain't the one listening.
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know there's other people listening, so
Speaker 1: be mad at them. But y'all gonna get this podcast
Speaker 1: when lose draw, hoisting the trophy, putting my ring on
Speaker 1: my finger, you name it, y'all getting this podcast. So
Speaker 1: keep talking blah blah blah. Enjoy your news cycle tomorrow
Speaker 1: be great, and then make sure you listen to the pie.
Speaker 1: It will probably be out before y'all new the cycles start,
Speaker 1: so just make sure you check the podcast out because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep giving y'all this podcast. What do you
Speaker 1: like it or not, so you can keep complaining about it.
Speaker 1: You can mention it all you want. Y'all getting this pot.
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. I also heard some some rumblings
Speaker 1: about the comments I made about the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: players and everybody talking about how everybody who played then
Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, you got beat up and they
Speaker 1: ain't do no beating up. Um everybody then we're enforcers
Speaker 1: and wasn't hitting people. It's just not the case, So
Speaker 1: stop it. Enjoy though, say all you want if you
Speaker 1: need a spot on the pie. You want to come
Speaker 1: on as a guest. Your resume may be good enough
Speaker 1: or maybe not, depending on who you are, and we'll see,
Speaker 1: but enjoy appreciate it. That's all I got for y'all.
Speaker 1: But before we get out of here, as always, take
Speaker 1: a couple of male bad questions. Excuse ginger in the background. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a couple of male bad questions before
Speaker 1: we get out of here. I go check out this film.
Speaker 1: I haven't even eaten my dinner yet, So what some
Speaker 1: of y'all can learn is work ethic. How about that,
Speaker 1: y'all can definitely learn work ethic. I haven't eaten my
Speaker 1: dinner yet. It's about to be three am. But it's
Speaker 1: fine because one thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put the work in. That's why I am who I
Speaker 1: am and you are who you are. Oh, I know
Speaker 1: what else I needed to speak about the Boston fans,
Speaker 1: Hazel is piste off by the way, because they were chanting,
Speaker 1: fuck you, Draymond, fuck you by the way. My name
Speaker 1: don't even rhyme with like that whole like chant like
Speaker 1: it don't like yeah, like you know you're chanting. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to be like, you know, like if if I
Speaker 1: had a one syllable name like then it will work
Speaker 1: Steph Clay, if if if, even if it was like
Speaker 1: Wigs Steve, it will work. But Draymond actually doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Shout was my my mom for for the name it's
Speaker 1: beneficial for me in this case, it actually don't work.
Speaker 1: But on a serious note, Um, I know Hazel was
Speaker 1: very upset just because our kids were at the game
Speaker 1: and they're listening to that, And quite frankly, I don't
Speaker 1: make much of it. I'm you know, uh, for my
Speaker 1: daughter who's one, My seven year old is not here,
Speaker 1: she had school, Um five year old DJ, I'm raising
Speaker 1: a warrior, no pun intended, like I'm raising a man.
Speaker 1: So I don't make much of him him hearing that
Speaker 1: or seeing that, like it is what it is. And
Speaker 1: so for me, I don't make much of it. Like
Speaker 1: I said, my one year old, my baby girl isn't
Speaker 1: like she probably can't even make out what they're saying.
Speaker 1: And then for DJ, who can, like, this is what
Speaker 1: it is, man, this is what you got. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I said before, he said he's going to be
Speaker 1: a coach. Maybe that's you one day that they're yelling
Speaker 1: at like that. But you've seen your dad go through it,
Speaker 1: and we okay, we walked out of there smiling with
Speaker 1: our heir, hell hi me chasing him down the hallway
Speaker 1: and him having a good time. And that's how we're
Speaker 1: gonna walk out of it on Friday. But I think
Speaker 1: for me, um, and for him to see that, I'm
Speaker 1: actually happy he saw that. I'm actually happy he saw that,
Speaker 1: because for the rest of his life, who will have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to talk about You remember when I went
Speaker 1: through X, Y, and Z when you were five, and
Speaker 1: you remember those people were saying this and saying that,
Speaker 1: like it's okay, you can get through. It ain't no
Speaker 1: big deal. So that's all it is for me. Um, Yes,
Speaker 1: my family is livid, and trust me, I get it.
Speaker 1: I totally understand. But for me, who's who's trying, who's
Speaker 1: raising a young black man in America, for him to
Speaker 1: understand how this world works, for him to understand how
Speaker 1: America works as opposed to how they say America works.
Speaker 1: That was just another example of it. And so no harm,
Speaker 1: no file. Fuck Draymond, Fuck Draymond, Fuck you too, Jackson.
Speaker 1: You got some mail back questions for us before we
Speaker 1: get out of here. Yes, sir from Da Maria at
Speaker 1: Damiria Mona. Do players ever look at the refs that
Speaker 1: are assigned to a game and use that for any
Speaker 1: sort of strategy. I don't think you use it as
Speaker 1: any strategy. You just kind of know what to expect. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, when you see certain roughs come you, you
Speaker 1: just know what to expect. Rough Rees call games differently, um,
Speaker 1: just like players, referees have tendencies, and so I think
Speaker 1: when you see it, you just know what to expect
Speaker 1: and what not to expect. So it's not really some
Speaker 1: strategy more so than just kind of learn yourself from
Speaker 1: the forest. Splash bro. I think that name I'm going
Speaker 1: to use my my blackness, and I think that name
Speaker 1: is Demarria Jackson, Okay, my fault, apologies de Maria possibly
Speaker 1: de Maria mhm, but you butchered it. I did. And
Speaker 1: the second name is Monet, not Monia. That's Monet, Okay.
Speaker 1: See for me, just to defend myself from where I
Speaker 1: where I come from, being born in Hawaii, and I
Speaker 1: saw that name like that, I would say mondaya. But
Speaker 1: I hear you you're at You're probably right. You're probably right,
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. Wait and Hawaii, you say, what Monea,
Speaker 1: what part of who are you from? Jackson? I was
Speaker 1: born on Oahu and Honolulu, and uh I didn't live
Speaker 1: there for very long, but my family there and my
Speaker 1: mom grew up there. We go back there every year.
Speaker 1: So oh so you do go back? Yeah, you tag
Speaker 1: alone on your vacation. Oh for sure, say no more.
Speaker 1: I'll show you all the spots we're going to Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Let's go all right? From the fourth splashbro at Holfmeister
Speaker 1: thirty looking around the league, now, you have players like
Speaker 1: Igudala and Haslum who bring most of their value in
Speaker 1: the locker room and with their leadership. Who do you
Speaker 1: see around the league near the end of their career
Speaker 1: sort of like those guys who would fit into a
Speaker 1: similar role, into a similar role for us or a
Speaker 1: similar role for them? Obviously, halfmastery master, you can't really
Speaker 1: answer that question for us. So I'm going to decide
Speaker 1: which one I think you're asking. And what I think
Speaker 1: you're asking is who else would fit into that role
Speaker 1: um in anywhere else around the league. Uh, that's a
Speaker 1: tricky one, and here's why, because it's not up to
Speaker 1: me to say who's at the end of their career.
Speaker 1: You know, like Andres at the end of his career,
Speaker 1: that's no surprise you d is at the end of
Speaker 1: his career, it's no surprise. That doesn't mean it's ending
Speaker 1: this year or ending tomorrow. But they're closer to the
Speaker 1: end than they are the beginning. And so it's not
Speaker 1: really up to me to say who who's you know,
Speaker 1: who's at the end or who's not. Ultimately, you do understand,
Speaker 1: like if I look around, like at a DeAndre Jordan's who,
Speaker 1: I still think DeAndre Jordan could play. But DeAndre Jordan's
Speaker 1: closer to the end than he is the beginning, simply
Speaker 1: because I think he's in his thirteenth or fourteenth year.
Speaker 1: So just that alone, by the numbers, you're closer to
Speaker 1: the end than you are at the beginning. But even
Speaker 1: less about him being closer to the end of our beginning.
Speaker 1: I've always appreciated Deandre's leadership, and I've always thought he's
Speaker 1: been very vocal and you know, on the court, off
Speaker 1: the court, and he's been through a lot, like you know,
Speaker 1: a guy who came in for the first pick. I
Speaker 1: think worked his way to All Star level to all
Speaker 1: NBA level, seen the top these last couple of years,
Speaker 1: has seen the bottom and not necessarily rock bottom, like
Speaker 1: not like that, but just not at the peak DeAndre level.
Speaker 1: And so like I think someone like that, like DeAndre
Speaker 1: who really really, really I appreciate his leadership and I
Speaker 1: know most people don't. And he's seven ft in athletics,
Speaker 1: so most people won't even look at him and be like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that guy has some good leadership qualities. And
Speaker 1: I've never had the opportunity to play with him, but
Speaker 1: just in what I've seen and and and the type
Speaker 1: of respect that he has the Monks players, because guys
Speaker 1: do respect DJ, I think he will be good at
Speaker 1: some point in that role. Whenever he's ready to take
