Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green torched the Boston Celtics on the latest episode of his NBA podcast. The four-time champion said the Celtics are “done.” Boston is currently down 3-0 to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Green went into detail about Boston forward Grant Williams talking trash to Miami star Jimmy Butler in Game 2 and how that backfired on the Celtics.
“You know when you know it’s not going well for something? After the game, Grant started talking about my momma and my daddy taught me. My man started talking about the morals and values that he grew up on,” Green said. “Like bro, you just got dropped off by Jimmy Butler. We didn’t question how you was raised my dog. They were losing the lead, energy was gone. Like he hit a trey and started talking crazy.
“As much as we all wanna blame Grant Williams, that ain’t Grant Williams’ fault. Like, Grant Williams supposed to do that. Like when you do that, yeah you do have to stand on that. And of course, you’re gonna hear it. Like, ain’t no passes.

“But, you then need JB (Jaylen Brown) and JT (Jayson Tatum) to like c’mon now, turn it into gear and cover your man. After the game, they asking JB about Grant and poking the bear or whatnot, and he said, ‘Next question.’ To me, I’m like, ‘Oh, they done.’ You can’t ‘next question’ it JB.”
No team in NBA history has erased a 3-0 series deficit in the playoffs. With that said, all signs point toward the Heat beating the Celtics and facing the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.
