Nope. They lost only 9 games in the regular season, Nearly all of their loses came from Draymond losing the big men match-up. G. Antetokounmpo, Dirk, Mcgee, Aldridge, and the like.



Wrong. He's an ok trailer when the ball handler isn't paying him any mind, but in general he's overrated. Guards like Harden blow right by him. I laughed at you mentioned he's can stop guys like Durant. LOL! Draymond has never shut down Durant.



I'm not impressed because he doesn't do anything defensively, especially compared to Leonard. He's quick for a forward and can is a decent trailer/helper, but that's it.



They dapped it because what I said was accurate. No one hates Green, he's not good enough to warrant hate.

Howard would absolutely destroy Green all day every day if he wasn't on a team full of ball hogs.

So you're isolating the nine games that the Warriors lost this season, subtracting from the total by saying "nearly", and then holding Draymond purely responsible for all of those players success regardless of he actually spent the entire game defending them or not. Let alone whether they actually played well or not

Giannis in Bucks win: 4-10 11 points
McGee (?!?!?) in Mavericks win: 0-1 1 point
Dirk in Mavericks win: 6-15 18 points
Aldridge in Mavericks win: 11-25 26 points

What?

Harden did a great job blowing by him here


The plus of being able to switch Draymond on anyone is that its not a mismatch easily exploited by the opposition. He's comfortable defending on the perimeter, and moves his feet as well as anyone.

Nobody said stop, I said guard, and if you really payed attention to that Feb 26 match-up between OKC/Warriors you'll see Durant defended by Green extremely well. He even blocked his shot on a possession. KD is too great to be shut down by anyone 1v1, and he still dominated regardless, but you can at least contest his shots which is what Green did.

"I'm not impressed because he doesn't do anything defensively" What?

You are putting far too much faith in Howard to think that he can dominate one of the best post defenders in the NBA. Acting like he's peak Shaq or something he can't even destroy Andrea Bargnani 1on1 right now. Not a single thing you've said here is remotely accurate you're just randomly typing shyt out of spite rather than logic.

You know the funniest thing about this? Durant scored ONE basket while Draymond was guarding him. He scored all of two points when guarded by Green. I don't know what the fukk you were watching. Durant scored the majority of his points on Iggy, Barnes and Klay. Plus I mean who gives a fukk if Durant did score on Green? He's one of the most talented scores that's ever played the game.

Here's his made shots -
Here's the video footage of all Durant's FG makes/misses - NBA.com/Stats

Draymond guarded him on his 4th attempt, contesting the shot even after he was caught behind a screen - MISS
Draymond guarded him on his 12th attempt, contesting the shot with a hand directly in his face - MAKE
Draymond guarded him on his 13th attempt, picked Durant up from the start of the halfcourt, shadowed him down to the elbow and contested the shot - MISS
Draymond guarded him on his 14th attempt, defended on the wing, Durant tried to spin but Draymond was privy to it and blocked his turnaround J - MISS
Draymond guarded him on his 26th attempt (last shot of regulation), defended on the wing and contested the shot - MISS

Durant was 1 out of 5 when guarded by Draymond - all shots where Draymond guarded him without any help (even blocked one of his shots). 1 out of 5 field goals. This is all without mentioning there were a few times that Draymond was shadowing him on possessions by himself (forcing Durant to pass) and when he was playing good ball-deny defense on Durant too. Like @Malta said, Draymond was everywhere on defense - I don't know what game you watching to contest something as clear as that.
