There’s been talk that the Golden State Warriors got lucky on their quest to win the NBA Championship because they didn’t have to play the Spurs or Clippers and played the Cavaliers while Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were injured. They’re now tired of the smack talk and fired back.
Green and Curry made their comments Tuesday when they were asked about people discussing whether the Warriors “deserve” their title, possibly in reference to Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers saying to Zach Lowe of Grantland, “You need luck in the West. Look at Golden State. They didn’t have to play us or the Spurs.”
Green compared them to bitter females and pointed out that the Spurs and OKC don’t think like that.
“If they saying that, they aren’t the champs. It’s simple. Gregg Popovich didn’t say that. That’s one organization I really respect. And you haven’t heard anybody in they camp say that. You ain’t heard anybody from OKC say that, some of the organizations that I really respect,” Green said.
“You see the ring fitting man over there? Jason of Beverly Hills, he over there fitting us for our ring? That’s pretty cool. So if they saying that, it’s some bitterness and some saltiness going around. They obviously not the champs. So who cares what they say. It is what it is.”
“It’s funny. It’s like a bitter female. Like, you ever dealt with a bitter female that’s just scorned? God! That’s rough. When you’re dealing with a bitter female that’s scorned, that’s one of the worst things in the world. And God, that’s bad.”
Andrew Bogut had a funny quote while Klay Thompson called them bitter and Stephen Curry offered a mock apology.
“I’ve actually got my [championship] ring fitted for my middle finger, so they can kiss that one,” Bogut said.
“Bitter” is how Green’s teammate Klay Thompson described Rivers’ comments on Friday, when he also said of Rivers’ team, “I wanted to play the Clippers last year, but they couldn’t handle their business.”
“I apologize for us being healthy, I apologize for us playing who was in front of us. I apologize for all the accolades we received as a team and individually. I’m very, truly sorry, and we’ll rectify that situation this year,” Curry said.
