Draymond is the only rim protector on the team. It makes no sense to have him guarding guys one on one at the perimeter. That would create lanes to the rim all day for the other team. I've explained this to you multiple times.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

If G.S. Stops Lebron they win the series.

If he were the elite defender that you keep saying that he is he would have guarded Lebron James during the Cleveland series.

Once again, Ron Adams is better at designing defense in the NBA than you or I. He's using Draymond in the best possible way.

And you can cut this "If he were the defender you say he is" shit. The entire NBA community agrees Draymond is among the elite of the elite when it comes to defense. NOBODY agrees with you when you say he is not a great defensive player. Guys dont win DPOY and make the NBA All defensive first team three years in a row by accident.

If MJ was a top defender then why didn't heguard Penny, Stockton, Payton, Miller, etc.? Guess he wasn't as great as I thought he was. Bruce Bowen is better than MJ because he took the toughest defense assignments. Raja Bell is next.

How is he openly campaigning for the award?

Iggy is a good defender but he doesn't have nearly the impact Green has. Either Green or Kawhi is the best defender in the league. Green is more versatile but Kawhi is a better perimeter defender obviously.

Also, they never "doubled" Aldridge. What you're thinking of is having guys like Curry, Klay, and Iggy who would come in and swipe at the ball when Aldridge was trying to post up. They do that because Aldridge is a terrible ball handler and below average passer. Not because they are worried about him scoring on Green.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

You keep saying that but it's simply not true. Green didn't have a great game last night but Aldridge got all his points when Green wasn't guarding him except for a few baskets. I saw the 2015 Finals and I would guess that I've seen the Warriors play as much as anyone on the board except possibly Bagels, who not coincidentally is the only other member of this fan club. I have the stats and the entire NBA community on my side in this debate. You have nothing.

You didn't answer my question. How is Green campaigning for himself?

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

He has been openly stating that he should be defensive player of the year for at least the last year.

I don't think he's said that once. He's been saying he wants to win it and it's a goal of his.

Gary Payton thinks he should be DPOY. Iguodala says Green is special defensively and will win multiple DPOY awards. Funny how guys you think are much better than Green defensively seem to recognize he's one of the games best but you still don't. There's really no case to be made he's not a top 5 defender in the NBA. You're just trolling at this point.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

No offense but you really do demonstrate a great deal of ignorance about this at times. I mean it with due respect.

I need to ask if you'd ever seen Jordan play pre retirement? If you had seen him then you'd know which assignments he took.

He always guarded Harper Dumars Richmond Drexler etc. He checked his position each and every time. All of the guys that you name came along when he was 33 + and none with the exception of Miller played his position. He checked Miller so I don't know why you'd decide to list him.

Jordan always took covers. Watch the tape instead of disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.

Green is a good defender but he is nowhere near the best defender I've ever seen and I don't think he is the best defender in the league.

I didn't list those guys because I knew he checked them . Point is on the ball defense is not the only type of defense you can contribute to the team.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

The Rockets and Thunder could both desperately use a Draymond Green. Not every great player on a championship team can score 25.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

After muddling through the “mind-fuck” of falling off the mountain and losing interest in the game during Golden State’s injury-ravaged post-KD year in the gutter, Green has come out the other side, every bit as ferocious and all-encompassing an offense-wrecker as he was at the height of the Dubs dynasty. Now working within a revamped roster, he is the heart of what has been the NBA’s best defense by a mile—according to Cleaning the Glass, the gap between the Warriors and second-place Suns is nearly as large as the one between the Suns and the no. 13 Pacers. He looks for all the world like a man for whom last season’s return to the All-Defensive first team wasn’t quite good enough.


“I want to be a Defensive Player of the Year again,” he recently told reporters. “I want to be an All-Star again.”

Green’s posting his highest block percentage in four years and the best defensive rebound rate of his career. The 31-year-old’s looking as lithe and lively as he has in ages: directing traffic and barking out coverages, flying around the court to stall dribble penetration, nailing rotations to douse fires before they can start, recovering to protect the rim, clearing the defensive glass, and doing it all again with a smile. (OK, sure, sometimes it’s a sneer.)

Andrew Wiggins has earned Steve Kerr’s trust as Golden State’s first line of defense against top wing scorers, but Green remains the trump card Kerr plays when he really needs someone’s water shut off. It’s Draymond who wrestles Anthony Davis and chases stretch bigs like Jaren Jackson Jr. 28 feet away from the rim; it’s Draymond who fights through screens to harass Kevin Durant all over the floor, and dares smaller magicians like CP3 and Damian Lillard to try to pull something on him.

When he’s not bodying up the best of the best, Draymond lays back, surveys the chessboard, and plots a checkmate. Few players in league history have ever been better at reading the floor, diagnosing an offense’s preferred plan of attack, snuffing it out, and forcing them to try something else—one reason a microscopic 23.7 percent of Warriors opponents’ shot attempts have come at the basket with Draymond on the court, according to Cleaning the Glass, nearly 10 percent lower than the league average.

Technically I was drunk (big surprise) and asked her if she liked a tongue up her ass.

Again, your comprehension needs work.
