We ticked off: Today's summary clip, 9.6 (Sports 1)

Drymond Green continues to be at the center of media discourse in the United States after his weak performance in Game 3 of the Finals Series.

The Golden State leader and defense minister finished the game with just two points, just 25 percent off the field and came out with six fouls, in a disappointing performance in which he seemed to be more focused on the contemptuous whistles directed at him than on the game itself.

In general, Green shows rather weak numbers in the first three games of the final series.

He has scored 15 points so far, 26 percent accurate from the field, stands at 0 from 7 from three and 5 from 10 from penalties, has accumulated more ball losses from baskets, and fans and commentators enjoy mocking that his stats on podcasts he uploads after games are more impressive Than the data on the parquet.

Green admitted at the end of the game that "I played like shit", promised to take responsibility and be better in the next games, but the commentators as mentioned kill him, not only because of the ability but also because of the attitude.

"How can Draimond do all the things he did after Game 2, make so much noise before Game 3, and then get to the game and do nothing?", ESPN commentator Kendrick Perkins wondered.

"To me, it seems like he's more ready for an after - game podcast than for the game itself."

According to Perkins.

"Drymond did not exist in the game," and only caused damage by refueling and added motivation to Boston in general and Jaylen Brown in particular, after the incident between them in Game 2. "He woke the bear, and did not help his team fight him," he said.

Even according to Isaiah Thomas, Green is too busy with the issues surrounding the games, rather than the games themselves.

"In the NBA Finals, when you play for a championship, that's where your mental toughness and focus is tested. You have to be 100 percent focused on the series," Thomas said.

"If you lose concentration, talk about your podcasts, talk about the fans, the opponent - everything except the game - it means you've lost it."

"His numbers are not good even for a player in elementary school, so of course they are not suitable for the NBA Finals," Thomas continues.

"Unfortunately, he seems to have lost direction."

Stephen A. Smith also killed Green, explaining that "Golden State needed him, and he did not give her anything. He was anemic, he just did not show up. Damn, he had more offense than points. It's really bad. And in that wave, Golden State I'm in big trouble now. "
