OAKLAND — Throughout Saturday’s series opener between the Warriors and Blazers, a loud, animated Draymond Green trash-talked a number of Blazers, most notably Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, their two star guards.
That included one fourth quarter sequence when Green tried to cap a game-changing Warrior run with a tomahawk dunk in transition. Green clanked the attempt off the back rim and McCollum, in response to some earlier back-and-forth, told Green to “do more calf raises.”
But despite the constant dialogue — which also included Kevin Durant and Mo Harkless yelling at each other — there seems to be no bad blood boiling between the two teams.
