I just know it was draymond green that was the anonymous player that told mark jackson that (Love is) a buster.
Well draymond, you can go fuck yourself. You can count the amount of big men on one hand from a guy in a wood shop accident that are playing better than Kevin Love.
Of course it was. Windy has said that Green basically called Love a pussy last year. I think that was during The Finals. Not to Love's face, but to any reporter who would listen.
As I said in the Cavs/Warriors thread, a big part of what the Warriors (and Green in particular) try to do is "Bully Ball." Blitz you with threes, preen, demoralize you and trash talk you and try to make you back down, mentally. What Green is doing (or trying to do) with Love is exactly in that mold. He knew Jackson would repeat what he said if he told Jackson it. Fuck Green and Jackson.
Here's the problem for Green: the Love that Green thought was a pussy is gone (Love is healthy and strong and confident now, as compared with his first two years in Cleveland). Green isn't used to dealing with Strong Minny Love that's around at this time. Now that Love has gotten a lot of his strength and bulk back, it's going to be a lot tougher for Green going forward in his match up with Love.
So much of what we need is for Kyrie and Kevin to step-up and be assertive and confident against the Warriors. What's great is that if the Warriors are resorting to mind tricks, they know they have issues against us.
Love is back at Minny Level now. Green can't outdo that player, consistently, and he isn't likely to stop him, either, unless Love lets Green get in his head.
Fuck Green, fuck Mark Jackson, fuck the Warriors and fuck the ABC/ESPN love for them.
People wonder why LeBron trolled the Warriors so hard. He did it because they deserve it for their antics, and he also did it to show that the Cavs aren't backing down to any Bully Ball bullshit.
LeBron knows what he's doing. He's making sure we stand strong against the BS.
Love did a good job today. Proud of him. Green, as usual, was ready to melt down when the action picked up.
Advantage Love and the Cavs.
Still, to be fair, there's a long way for Kyrie and Kevin to go so that they have full "mental armor" against the Warriors and the big stage. But today is yet another step in that direction for them both, and it's a step away from that serenity for Green and the Warriors.
