After all, they were 16 points up in the third quarter, even with Stephen Curry out, and had done a good job containing Victor Wembanyama till that point. Their effort was commendable, especially the way Draymond Green guarded in the game.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-2\" class=\"data-event\">Green scored 17 points and helped limit Wembanyama to 26, though the Frenchman\u2019s contribution proved enough for the Spurs eventually. However, life was made extremely difficult for Wemby in the first half.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-3\" class=\"data-event\">And during his tussle with Green,<a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/tag\/victor-wembanyama\/\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Wembanyama<\/a> looked overwhelmed, before getting physical, even, wrapping his arms around Green at one point in the game. However, the way the game was called by commentator<a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/tag\/doris-burke\/\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Doris Burke<\/a>, who turned a blind eye to Green\u2019s exemplary defense on an almost unstoppable player, disappointed some Warriors fans, and the star, too.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-4\" class=\"data-event\">A fan presented Green\u2019s work and Wemby getting bogged down and physical on social media platform threads, calling out Burke. \u201cDoris Burke, completely ignoring the fact that Wemby has his arm completely wrapped around Green.\u201d Green responded and didn\u2019t hold back his thoughts either.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-5\" class=\"data-event\">\u201cShe [Burke] will always ignore things happening to me and only half-mention the good. And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while,\u201d Green replied to the post.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-7\" class=\"data-event\">Green has many enemies in the league. Most of them are players who\u2019ve seen his ugly side when he resorts to fights or reacts disproportionately, even violently, to relatively minor incidents on the court. Ask Rudy Gobert or Josef Nurkic. They may not admit it, but they would genuinely avoid altercations with Green.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-8\" class=\"data-event\">This has also not helped Green\u2019s reputation among journalists and broadcasters. His ability is not in question, and people know how great a defender he can be. However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/nba-news-i-couldnt-answer-it-draymond-green-confesses-feeling-cowardly-for-avoiding-warriors-owner-joe-lacobs-call-after-choking-rudy-gobert\/\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chokehold on a multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year<\/a> is something that becomes difficult to forget.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-9\" class=\"data-event\">That said, commentary should not be biased either. Green has a right to be upset about the fact that Burke rarely says positive things about him, even when he is actually playing well. For instance, against the Spurs on Wednesday, it was one of his better nights of the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-10\" class=\"data-event\">A small acknowledgment of that would not have hurt and may have prevented this online dig at Burke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors\u2019 113-126 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday would sting heavily.
