Well, if this story isn't just Draymond Green in a nutshell then it's probably because the nutshell became collateral damage in the process of the NBA's preeminent nutcracker aimlessly running his trap about irrelevant nonsense. Seriously, the Golden State Warriors' resident blowhard refusing to take responsibility for his blatant mistake that played an undeniable part in costing his team a last second chance to break the tie against the Clippers (in a game they lost in OT), and instead turning it into an argument that he tried to win through the deafening decibel level of a transparent deflection tactic is all too fitting. Honestly, I don't even like Kevin Durant, but even I was left asking what his all-too-familiar impending free agency has to with a player who is best known for his defense clumsily tripping all over his feet as time ran out instead of dishing the ball off to one of the best shotmakers in the history of the sport. The answer is obviously nothing, which is exactly what Draymond Green was thinking about when he, as the 2nd least equipped player on the floor to do so, decided to dribble coast-to-coast with the game on the line. The Warriors' emotional leader (and the rest of the league's loudmouth asshole) had as much business trying to run the point under pressure as he did in trying to bring up an entirely unrelated point to make himself feel better about falling on the ball like a damned fool as the clock struck zero. Judging by who they sided with in the locker room, even his teammates know that. Now, hoping this will serve as the lit fuse that leads to what everyone outside of the Bay Area is waiting for, which is obviously the Warriors' implosion, is a pipe dream. However, I did take a disproportional amount of pleasure in watching as the guy who he desperately begged to come help guarantee victory over LeBron drew the ire of his exhausting bullshit. Occasionally having their sanity compromised by Draymond Green shamelessly emptying his entire gasbag during tangents is a small sacrifice for the rest of the Warriors to make for prolonged, assured, and unmatched success, but at least they have to sacrifice something other than stats. UPDATE: Draymond Green has been suspended one game without pay by his own team, presumably for calling the kettle black as one undeservedly pissy pot...
