Draymond Green didn't have his best performance in the Golden State Warriors' Game 3 loss against the Boston Celtics. He clearly wasn't in a jovial mood after the game, either.
During the postgame press conference, Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer asked the Warriors star if he's “conscious” at all about potentially revealing information on their own game plan on his The Draymond Green Show podcast. Safe to say Draymond didn't appreciate the insinuation.
Via ClutchPoints:
“I don't say much different on the podcast than I say to you right here,” asserted Green. “What's the Xs and Os I said on the podcast?”
Fischer responded by citing Draymond talking about how the Warriors defended Al Horford, Marcus Smart, and Derrick White differently between Games 1 and 2.
“Oh yeah that was just contested shots,” said the Warriors star with an incredulous look on his face. “If that's Xs and Os, you reaching for something. It's all good though, keep going. Reaching heavy. ‘Do you find that they are taking Xs and Os away from your podcast? Uhh well, the only thing you said is White, Smart, and Horford.' Hmm.”
Fischer tried to clarify that he wasn't trying to blow anything up from the podcast, but the Warriors star interrupted him before he could finish.
“Nah, I mean you went for it. But hey, respect,” answered Green in a sarcastic tone. “Appreciate the podcast promo you just gave me, bro. The Draymond Green Show. Next time, just mention it that way.”
A little while after the incident, Draymond Green was answering a question from Warriors reporter Monte Pool. He then circled back on Fischer's question, asking Poole about his thoughts on the matter.
“Monte, how much Xs and Os you get from the podcast? Clearly, this guy. I don't know man. Maybe that's the IQ level over this way. S–t. Respect,” Green said referring to Fischer.
Later on, Draymond Green snuck in one last snarky remark at the reporter. While discussing how the Warriors defend in a manner they refer to as “making them play left-handed”, he made sure to provide a disclaimer that he wasn't talking any Xs and Os.
“Jake Fischer, just an FYI, that's like a reference to something, making somebody play left-handed. That's not really Xs and Os like literally make them drive left. But we like to make teams play left-handed, and we didn't do that tonight.”
