Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green hasn't been shy in recent weeks about speaking from the heart - he was vocal after the Warriors completed a season sweep over James Harden and the Rockets last week, and he was candid in his comments after the Warriors dropped an overtime game to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. From Bay Area News Group Warriors beat writer Diamond Leung:
Draymond Green on critics who say Warriors too jump shot-oriented: "They want to see us lose? That's fine. They won't see it often."

Sarcastic Draymond Green: "We're a jump-shooting team, so obviously we can't handle the heavyweights."

Draymond Green: "Hey, they got a few rebounds. Congrats. Lost by two. Probably won't happen often."

Green had 10 points and 9 rebounds in the Warriors 113-111 loss to Chicago. After working his way into Golden State's starting lineup this season, Green is averaging 11.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting .440 from the field - all career highs. Green's increased importance hasn't gone unnoticed by the Warriors' coaching staff, with HC Steve Kerr frequently calling him the team's 'heartbeat'.
