NEW YORK -- The Knicks elected to go without music for the first half of Sunday's game against Golden State, and the decision did not sit well with Warriors forward Draymond Green.

"That was pathetic," Green said after his team's 112-105 win. "It was ridiculous. It changed the flow of the game. It changed everything. You get used to playing a certain way. It completely changed it. To me, I think it was completely disrespectful to everyone from [NBA senior VP of entertainment and player marketing] Michael Levine to [Warriors president and COO] Rick Welts and all these people who've done these things to change the game from an entertainment perspective.

It] gives the game a great vibe. That's complete disrespect. You advance things in the world to make it better. You don't go back to what was bad. It's like, computers can do anything for us. It's like going back to paper. Why would you do that? So it was ridiculous."

Most of the Warriors players didn't particularly like the muted vibe, but Green clearly felt the strongest about the musical absence.

"Did you see that first half?" he asked. "It was just bad, sloppy, all over the place. There was no rhythm to the game. All this stuff makes a difference in a game, believe it or not. You get in a rhythm. ... You turn on music, it just helps you get into a certain area, takes you to a certain place. I don't think they were doing it to, like, throw us off, but it definitely threw the entire game off. They need to trash it. That's exactly what they need to do."

didn't sit right with Warriors coach Steve Kerr, either.

"It was weird," Kerr said. "It was really weird. You sort of take it for granted because every NBA game, you got all this stuff going on, music in the background. You don't even think about it until it's not there. It felt like church. It was very quiet. It is Sunday, after all. Maybe that's why they chose it. It was strange. I kind of liked it better in the second half. It felt more normal with the music."

Stephen Curry said the scene was so bizarre that players began making beat sounds during layup lines to keep a musical presence.

"It was weird," Curry said. "It was, like, back in middle school warm-up games, where it's just you and the teammates ... [and] there's no music or entertainment whatsoever, so it was definitely different. I read the sign on the scoreboard, and they wanted to see fans enjoying the game in its purest form. That's a great way to put it."

Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis echoed that sentiment, admitting it was "weird" playing with no music in the first half.

Elgin Baylor got called up into the fukking army during 1961-1962 and he only could play on the weekends, no training, stuck in the army among all those flaming racists, Bill Russell was forced to play for those racist pieces of shyt in Boston who stayed racist no matter how many championships he won, players in that era traveled in fukking stagecoaches, had shyt medical care, shyt salaries, shyt nutrition, shyt training methods, stayed in dusty-ass motels on road trips, had to deal with blatant racism but these new nikkas complaining about NO MUSIC?

fukk the Larriors and the Knicks as a team, organization and a motherfukking crew
