Lillard: Draymond Green's trash talk going to make me raise the level of my game
Draymond Green: It's fun. You hit a shot, he's talking to us. I hit a shot, I'm talking to them
Damian Lillard said that Draymond Green’s trash talk in Game 1 motivated him.
While Green said that trash talking with Lillard was fun.
Per ESPN,"For me, it's just going to make me raise the level of my game because I take [Green's trash talk] as a challenge," Lillard said after his team's 121-109 loss. "I'm going to take exception to it, and I'm going to say something back. That's what it's going to be, as long as that's how he's approaching it -- it's going to be coming right back."
"Yeah, he told me I need to do more calf raises," Green revealed. "No, we were talking back and forth the entire game, but that's just a part of the game. It's mutual respect both ways. We've played those guys last year in the series, but quite a bit over the last four or five years where you kind of know them, they know you.
"But we all know each other off the floor as well. It's not like there's anyone out there being disrespectful towards another. It's fun. You hit a shot, he's talking to us. I hit a shot, I'm talking to them. I miss the dunk, he's telling me I need to do calf raises. It was good back-and-forth; it makes the game a lot more fun, that's for sure."
