Micah Adams @MicahAdams13Warriors need to roll the dice with Kuminga in the rotation.

Connor Letourneau @Con_ChronTonight was quite the gut-check for the Warriors. This Celtics team played inspired basketball and, though it had some memorable moments, Golden State ultimately couldn’t match Boston’s fire. The Warriors — and Draymond Green in particular — need to re-evaluate some things. – 11:37 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCSCeltics the hungrier team so far tonight. In a related matter, Draymond has not been himself. – 10:33 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsWhat a sequence there. Marcus Smart knocks a ball out of bounds off Draymond Green, and then Al Horford catches Golden State’s defense napping with a 90-foot pass to a streaking Jaylen Brown for a dunk.Timeout, GSW. Celtics up 77-64. – 10:32 PM

Brian Geltzeiler @BGeltzNBAKerr has been desperate to find a suitable 5th to play with to mesh tonight with Curry/Klay/Dray/Wiggins. He’s had mixed results with Looney, Porter, Poole, and Payton. Curious to see if he tries Kuminga or Moody for a few minutes to add some athleticism to that group – 10:17 PM

Connor Letourneau @Con_ChronHALFTIME: Warriors trail the Celtics, 68-56. Given how things started, Golden State should feel very good about only being down 12. The Warriors can win this game, but they need a lot more out of Draymond Green (0 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist). – 10:12 PM

Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBAPossibly the worst half Draymond’s ever played. – 10:11 PM

Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1As usual, refs pretended not to see or hear Draymond taunt Brown following blocked drive. Teammate pushed Green away from prone Brown. Horford got Brown away from Green. Refs played dumb! I must be wrong; trash talking/taunting must not warrant a T anymore… – 9:30 PM

Brian Geltzeiler @BGeltzNBAIf I’m being kind about it, Draymond hasn’t defended up to the standards he normally sets for himself in this first quarter both on the ball and off the ball. Not exactly earning his self proclaimed “deferential treatment”. – 9:27 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurkeBoos for Draymond whenever he touches the ball, plus chants. Draymond doesn’t mind being hated, and absorbing those boos can lighten the attention on teammates. – 9:22 PM

Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavsLots of talk about how Boston should deal with Draymond in G3. Don’t think they’ll have too much to worry about. Scott Foster, David Guthrie, and Courtney Kirkland are on the job tonight in Boston. The first two, especially, don’t put up with much. – 7:51 PM

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHMIn Draymond Green’s playoff career, Warriors have a better record in games where he receives a technical foul (22-6, .786) compared to when he does not (77-36, .681). This includes a 3-1 record in such games this postseason where Green has received a technical per @ESPNStatsInfo – 3:59 PM

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHMDraymond Green says he won’t be able to live with himself if Warriors lose and they don’t meet Boston’s force with force. But tonight, the Warriors enter what will be the most hostile environment they’ve faced in the Finals. It’ll be the kind of atmosphere Draymond lives for pic.twitter.com/AWP768YsWr – 3:14 PM

More on this storyline

Justin Kubatko: Draymond Green played 35 minutes last night, fouling out with just two points scored. Over the last 60 NBA Finals, the only other player to foul out of a game with two or fewer points scored in 35 or more minutes played is Bill Laimbeer (1988, Game 6). pic.twitter.com/izeWgKa9HD -via Twitter @jkubatko / June 9, 2022

Kevin O’Connor: In the NBA Finals, Draymond Green is allowing 1.24 points per play when he’s the direct defender, which is his worst of any playoff series since 2013-14, per @SecondSpectrum. pic.twitter.com/f3No6dgSbY -via Twitter @KevinOConnorNBA / June 9, 2022

I asked Curry: How scary was that moment? “It’s a big body, obviously,” Curry said, referring to Horford. “I haven’t seen the play, so I don’t know if it could have been avoided or not. I was in that situation with Marcus back in the Bay, and you just want to get your foot out of there. That’s all I was trying to do at that point, knowing the position I was in.” -via The Athletic / June 9, 2022
