The Boston Celtics managed to force Game 5 in the Eastern Conference Finals after losing the first three games of the series against the Miami Heat. However, they still face an uphill battle.
The Celtics avoided the sweep, but theyâre still just one loss away from losing it all. Many wonder whether theyâll gain enough momentum to win four straight, especially after everything that has been said about their chemistry.
Grant Williams tried to play mind games with Jimmy Butler in Game 3, something that backfired as the Heat star played with a chip on his shoulder for the rest of the game. Jaylen Brown didnât make comments about his teammateâs attitude, something didnât sit well with Draymond Green.
Draymond Green claims Jaylen Brown should have defended Grant Williams
âWhen I saw JB after the game and they asked him about Grant poking the bear or whatnot, and he said, âNext questionâ. To me, Iâm like, âOh, they done.â But JB situation, you still ride with your man and be like, boy you start talking, âJimmy played well, it is what it is. We got to do what we got to do.â You canât next question, JB,â Green said on The Draymond Green Show.
âThat was the mentality that their team took on in Game 3. Next question, next game, next play, this is it. You could tell thereâs more there once that happened,â the Warriors star added.
With Golden State no longer in contention, Green is spending much of his time watching the playoffs and talking about them on his podcast. Itâs always interesting listening to him, but maybe heâs not the best to talk about standing up for a teammate if we consider his incident with Jordan Poole.
