After Draymond Green's poor display in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Kendrick Perkins questioned the Golden State Warriors star's motivations against the Boston Celtics.

Green fouled out of the contest, and he didn't make an impact at all with just two points, four rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes of action. While Dray was never one to stuff the stat sheet, the usual intangibles and defensive grit he provides was nowhere to be seen during Wednesday's contest as well.

Of course Perkins took a shot at Green for the performance and claimed that it seems the Warriors superstar is more prepared for his podcast than the match with the Celtics.

“Look like Draymond was more prepped for his post game podcast than the actual game. Just an observation, never mind me tho. Carry on…” Perkins wrote.

With that kind of performance, though, Draymond Green had it coming from his haters. He has been really active on social media as he campaigns for his “new media” that has integrity about covering athletes. But like what Kendrick Perkins said, some might see it as a distraction for the Warriors forward.

If there is one thing we know about Green, he gets fueled by such negative reactions and criticisms. He knows how to bounce back as well, which might just bode well for the Warriors as they look to tie the NBA Finals series once again.
