There's no sugarcoating the fact Draymond Green has been awful<\/a> in the 2022 NBA Finals. The Golden State Warriors<\/a> forward has been so bad that head coach Steve Kerr<\/a> had him on the bench during crunch time in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green is a four-time NBA All-Star. One would never know that by his play in the last four games. Offensively, he's been nothing but a liability for his team. Green's mother recently tweeted she's never seen him like this. She's as baffled as anyone else, but Green responded and said things will be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's to the point where Green doesn't even look to shoot the ball anymore. He's passed up three-foot shots by kicking the ball out past the three-point line. Green's offensive woes are in his head, whether he admits it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head games are Green's thing, though. He's been so bad that he knows he can't compete with most players on the court. So instead of trying to go head-to-head with his opponents, he tries to get inside their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green's ploys have included getting in the faces of several Celtics players. He's gotten overly physical<\/a> with many of them. He even tried to pull down Jaylen Brown's<\/a> shorts after the two got tangled up when Green fouled him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His antics have been criticized by many. Former Celtics center Robert Parish, who got fed up with similar antics by Bill Laimbeer and went on a punching spree during a playoff game, recently said he'd have done the same to Green<\/a> if they were on the court together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, no question,\u201d Parish said. \u201cHe\u2019s an instigator. He goes out of his way to provoke people. That\u2019s why he\u2019d have gotten punched \u2014 because he\u2019s an antagonist.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Celtics crowd got all over Green in Games 3 and 4. In Game 3, he fouled out with two points and four rebounds in 35 minutes. In Game 4, Green had two more points on 1-for-7 shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
