Kendrick Perkins breaks down Draymond Green’s comments after a brutal Game 2 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Golden State Warriors were everywhere during Game 2 Battle vs. Minnesota Timberwolves as Stephen Curry was sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
Dubb was totally missed as the Timberwolves registered a blowout 117-93 victory to level up the series 1-1.
Warriors’ Draymond Green made the headline to receive yet another technical foul in the playoffs when he hit Naz Reid in the second quarter.
Following the fifth postseason technical foul, Green is just two technical fouls from receiving automatic one-game suspension.
The veteran forward clearly allows his anger to make him better, but he insists that he is not an “angry black man” in contrast to what the media is trying to portray him.
However, NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins was deeply opposed to Green’s comments when he called out the Warriors veteran.
“You don’t want to be accountable to yourself. You want to go with your coach. Jerry Stackhouse and Steve Kerr are now bringing you back.
“No one is pushing the agenda on you. We’re watching the game and seeing you like. You look angry on the floor,” Perkins is via the NBA on ESPN today.
He added:
Perkins didn’t etch his words when calling Green, similar to what ESPN’s Tim Bontemps did recently. At this point, Green can act professionally or prepare to face massive flacks from the media and fans if the Warriors lose to T-Wolves in the second round.
Like Perkins, former NBA star Danny Greene wasn’t happy that Draymond would bring his skin tone into the debate during post-game comments.
“It has nothing to do with skin color for me, meaning at one point I could look in the mirror and say that no one around me was crazy,” Green said.
“I love his feelings. That’s what we love him. He plays a lot of passion in the game, a lot of passion, a lot of movement. We love it, but at some point you have to learn to control and scale it,” he added.
The former LA Lakers guard had one last message for the Warriors Star.
“No one is targeting you. You are allowing yourself to be targeted by the way you act there. You cannot flip your arms, legs, or legs. You have no control over your body.”
Game 3 can determine the pace for the rest of the series so well that the ball is currently on Draymond’s court. Instead of allowing his feelings to make him better, Green needs to stand up as a leader in Curry’s absence.
