Draymond gives media free pass to blast him
Draymond Green has personally left the door wide open for criticism following his dreadful performance in Game 4.
He fully believes he deserves it.
"You have a free pass to blast me," Green told Ethan Sherwood Strauss of ESPN. "You have a free pass. I was f---ing awful."
Green scored six points - on 1-of-7 shooting - to go with 11 rebounds and six turnovers as the Golden State Warriors dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season, with a 118-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
The outing marked the second straight poor performance for Green, who has shot 2-of-16 from the field over the Warriors' last two losses. He had vowed to be better in Game 4 following a dreadful Game 3 in which he managed just six points and four turnovers, but failed to bounce back.
"I think this is the first time in my life that I didn't respond to critics," Green said.
Golden State now needs to win out in order to advance to the NBA finals, as they find themselves trailing the Thunder 3-1.
