NEW ORLEANS — Draymond Green does not need to worry about Charles Barkley punching him in the face. Barkley apologized for saying such a thing, and Green said he did not take such a threat seriously anyway.

Green might need to worry about something else, though. The Warriors enter Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday with Green likely hearing many noises far more offensive and antagonistic than Barkley’s commentary.

“He’s going to get booed and they’re going to yell and scream at him,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
