“Really big time win for us, especially with the Rockets coming out to play. They have lost a couple in a row and, three games behind with seven games left and you’re losing the tiebreaker. So four games behind in a sense. With seven to go, uh, my math serves me correctly. Tomorrow will be an opportunity to end their season…their playoff hopes. If my math serves me correctly, maybe there will be one more game. I haven’t looked that up. That’s just some rough math for you. Math geniuses out there. That’s going to be like, no, they’re not mathematically eliminated. And you like great. Almost.”

Green has been itching to see the Dubs step on the Rocket’s hopes at being a darkhorse play-in team since Rockets player Tari Eason took to his Instagram and said that the Rockets were coming for the 10th seed. In the video, he also yelled out, “Warriors! Come out to play!

Green took exception to Eason’s video, taking to his podcast to respond.

“Why would he make a video telling the Warriors to come out and play? Everybody in Houston had a heart attack when he did that. Part of the reason that I like Tari Eason is that he would come out and do that. When I saw that, I wasn’t surprised at all. I am surprised that he hasn’t played in a game since January 1. It’s kind of tough to say ‘come out and play,’ when you ain’t gonna play.”

Draymond Green’s comments seem to be in competitive fun as he said in his response to Eason that he likes his game. He also said to Jamal Crawford in the NBA All-Star edition of his podcast that he thinks Eason can be the next-generation version of himself.

“From what I’ve seen from him, he can dribble the ball. He can shoot it okay. But , you can better a jump shot. He’s a good athlete. Great length. Great size. Rebound the ball. Not soft at all. Ain’t backing down from nothing. Does the little things. I say Tari Eason.”
