Draymond rips the “softie” Grizzlies coach for a foul reaction on Edey originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Draymond Green escaped Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins, soft on an Instagram story post on Saturday.
Three days later, the Warriors forward used the term blasting Jenkins for his reaction to Green’s foul on Grizzlies rookie center Zach Edey during Golden State’s win Friday night.
“You got a badass Taylor Jenkins, who is soft, who comes out and one day, you hope to think that, we beat you all in the NBA Finals … not in the NBA Finals,” Green said on “The Draymond Green Show” . with Baron Davis” on Tuesday. “They don’t get there. Not with him. We beat you all in the NBA playoffs because he was too emotional and so then his team followed that and they follow your lead and collapse because they couldn’t handle the emotions of it but their coach couldn’t handle the emotions of it.
“Brother, this Game 11 [and] you meet the media crying foul. Come on, brother. And with your 7-foot-3 rookie. So guess what you just taught your 7-foot-3 rookie? Like being emotional and running to the media talking about a bad thing. We big We big man. You don’t run to the media talking about a bad thing. You are a big man. Moreover, what you need to learn how to do is learn how to make a hard fault. You are a big man. What you just taught him was how to let Draymond own your mindset, because now you just ran and told. So now what I think about you, you have to deal with that.”
During the The 123-118 victory of warriors over the Grizzlies last week, Green was whistled for a “take” foul on Edey when he grabbed the rookie’s leg as Memphis tried to start a fast break.
The NBA updated the foul to Flagrant 1 on saturday
Jenkins spoke to reporters immediately after Friday’s game and called Greenwho was ejected for collecting two technical fouls at the end of the contest.
“Overall, thought he was really good,” Jenkins said when asked about Edey’s performance (h/t ESPN). “And very disappointing, there was that one play, we were about to start the break and he played really hard to try to get out, and Draymond grabs his leg and pulls him down and it’s not reviewed.
“So I know there is code in this link, and I don’t understand how that wasn’t reviewed. Very disappointing.”
Green saw Jenkins’ comments on Instagram and shared the post with a message.
“BOOOOOO!!! (I tried to find a marshmallow emoji),” wrote Green, suggesting that Jenkins is soft.
Green Tuesday didn’t have to worry about finding the right emoji. He just used the word.
