Draymond Green to Kristaps Porzingis: I like that you want to see me again but keep that to yourself
Green did not like some comments made by the Latvian
Draymond Green of the Warriors did not like some comments made by Kristaps Porzingis on Wednesday about the match up between the two players.
Porzingis “paid” for his word with a 8-point performance in 35 minutes with 4 for 13 from the field.
Green read Porzingis’ comments a few minutes before the game and he stepped on the court pissed off.
Per Chris Haynes of ESPN, “My Nike rep, Adrian [Stelly], showed me something on the sideline like two minutes right before the game tipped off that kind of pissed me off and made me want to go a little harder this game and guard him,” Green said. “So, it was good. I appreciate him for showing me that because I think I was in La-la Land before he showed me that and it just immediately pissed me off.”
During pregame layup drills Thursday, Stelly showed Green a story with Porzingis’ quotes on his phone.
“I want to go out there. Last season, right after the game was over I was thinking when was the next time we were going to get a chance to play against them,” Porzingis said. “I'm ready for him."
“I like the passion, I like the dog that he has, I like that you want to see me again, but keep that to yourself,” Green said. “Don’t let everybody know that you’re going after me. So I guess we’re going to go after each other and that’s fine. I think he’s a great player. I think he will continue to get better and better, but that made it real personal.”
