Draymond Green, Dillon Brooks come face-to-face, avoid altercation (NBC Sports Bay Area)

After a week of trading verbal jabs and haymakers, Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks avoid real fisticuffs in the first half Thursday night.

"Or do they like you in Memphis? "I’m trying to figure out why they like you in Memphis," Green continued. "Next time you speak up on me, you should do some soul searching. Green and Brooks avoided actual fisticuffs in the first half Thursday. I can tell you why they like me [in Golden State]. "[Brooks] said, ‘I don’t like Draymond at all.’ You don’t know me. "If you ever wondered why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here," Green said. "They actually are depending on this guy to help them win a championship, and he says his game is cool. "Your level of understanding the game of basketball is at a fan level. I guess that's why they like him over there." "I just don't like Golden State. I don't like anything to do with them.

For fans waiting for a Dillon Brooks-Draymond Green showdown, they got it from Brooks in the second quarter of Thursday's Grizzlies-Warriors game.

That prompted Brooks to yell at the crowd and start talking even more at the Warriors for the next few seconds. It was the moment people expected after Green delivered a vicious rant at Brooks Wednesday following Brooks' comments on Green in an ESPN feature last week. The two got tied up and were face-to-face as Brooks started talking and kept talking even after being separated by the nearest referee.

I guess that's why they like him over there." "If you ever wondered why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here," Green said of Brooks. I don't like anything to do with them.

Memphis forward trashes Draymond Green in ESPN profile, and Warriors star eviscerates him in return.

Plays like that are the reason Brooks has been a hate magnet for the Memphis Grizzlies. However, Brooks and Green are different sides of the same coin. Additionally, Branden Clarke’s torn Achilles leaves a vacancy in the Grizzlies’ lineup for a versatile defensive anchor whose contributions can’t be fully explained through the box score. Never one to back away from a fight in person or on the internet, Green used his podcast platform to blast Brooks with the deadly precision of a trained verbal assassin. The dynasty starts after you, not with you,” Green said. Every sleek title contender needs a cantankerous, annoying archetype player or starter to keep everyone engaged when they hit one of those eventual lulls over the course of a draining contest or during stretches of an 82-game season. The more attention you provide them with, the larger their presence grows. Brooks is still the superior shooter to Green, but the former doesn’t offer much value during cold streaks. “I’m trying to figure out why they like you in Memphis. It’s also the polar opposite of what Brooks said after Golden State eliminated them last May. You can always count on Green to throw vinegar into the wounds of a reeling Grizzlies team. The Grizz had their best shot in the 2022 Western Conference semifinals, but they couldn’t capitalize.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks helped his team get a win against the Golden State Warriors, then he responded to Draymond Green.

The Warriors star finished 10-for-19 shooting, but Brooks did most of his work by denying the ball from Curry and fighting through what he called "illegal screens" from the Warriors. Brooks isn't active on social media, so when Green's comments started to go viral, teammates put the video in their group chat, and Brooks watched the entire two-minute clip. Brooks made a layup after a steal over the outstretched arms of Green, so he paused and stood in front of Green as the FedExForum crowd got louder and louder. "I kind of wanted that play just to see what he was going to say," Brooks said. To back up his argument, Brooks said he can do the same stuff Green does, plus score and call out opponent's plays. He called Green's job "easy" and "just showing up to work." Then, Brooks may have thrown a low-blow of his own. And besides, Brooks doesn’t know the address to that place anyway. Among the many things Green said was implying that the Grizzlies will be a better team after Brooks leaves. A tip of the cap to the referees for not giving Brooks and Green offsetting technical fouls when the faceoff finally came. He finished with 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting and six assists, but that wasn’t enough. After all, he started it with his comments in an ESPN story about Green.
