Rudy Gobert on Draymond Green: There's no beef on my side

Rudy Gobert on Draymond Green: There’s no beef on my side. I mean, as long as you keep your respect. You know, you stay in line, and respect my family and stuff like that. You know, he just competitiveness and he just, you know, I’ve, once again every time I talked about Draymond, anybody else, I show respect/ So these guys want to disrespect me, it’s their choice, you know, and I take that as respect because I know that’s, you know, its competitiveness and knowing I’m a quiet person, but some guys are different personalities. And, you know, they’re gonna, they’re gonna express their mind. And it’s fine.

Rudy Gobert, on if the Jazz can find that next level: “If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t be here. I believe in this group. If it was easy, it wouldn’t be fun.” – 10:33 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Rudy Gobert: I believe in this group. I believe this group can take that step. If I didn’t believe in this group, I wouldn’t be here – 10:32 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Rudy Gobert, on the need for the Jazz to play more together: “We’ve done it. We’ve done it. When it gets hard, we need to do it even more, not stop doing it.” – 10:30 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Just a major win for the Warriors in Miami at a key moment. Beat the East’s #1 seed without Curry, Klay, Draymond. Got 30 from Jordan Poole, help up and down the rotation and a needed 20-point second half from Andrew Wiggins. Gives them a firmer grip on #3 seed. – 10:03 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
What a 24-hour turnaround for the Warriors. After yesterday’s game, Draymond said they were playing soft, stupid, and just bad basketball. Tonight, they beat the Heat without Draymond, Steph and Klay.
Four 20-point scorers in Poole (27), Lee (22) Kuminga (22), and Wiggins (21) – 10:00 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
On Monday the Heat lost to Philly without Embiid and Harden
Tonight they lost to the Warriors without Curry, Klay, Draymond or Porter
They now have just a one-game lead on Milwaukee in the loss column for the No. 1 seed. The Bucks have the tiebreaker. HCA is officially in play – 9:58 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Heat lost to a Sixers team missing Joel Embiid and James Harden and then return home and lose to a Warriors team missing Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. So it isn’t just the Sixers who do that. – 9:57 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Celtics 125, Jazz 97. Game was over halfway thru the 1Q. Don 37p/6r, Gobert 14/11. Jazz 39.8% overall, 8-36 from 3. Boston 59.5% overall, 19-36 from deep. Road trip rolls on to Charlotte, on Friday. – 9:44 PM Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Another easy win for the Celtics against a playoff team, beating the Jazz 125-97. Marcus Smart with a career-high 13 assists and they won the blocks battle 10-1 against Rudy Gobert somehow. – 9:44 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
A couple of plays ago, Jaylen Brown did something he hasn’t been doing enough of. He took a couple of extra dribbles, stayed patient and flipped it in over Gobert.
That’s when Brown is at his best. Balancing the patience with the explosions. – 9:22 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Holographic Rudy Gobert has a 12/10 double-double. – 9:19 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

This is without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and Otto Porter Jr. – 9:07 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Interesting development here in Miami: No Steph, Klay, Draymond or Otto tonight for the Warriors, yet they’re tied with the top-seeded Heat at halftime.
Golden State held Miami to 40 percent shooting and won the glass that half.
Kuminga: 14 pts
Poole: 12 pts
Lee: 12 pts – 8:47 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat again struggling against the shorthanded, tied 50-50 vs. the no-Steph, no-Klay, no-Draymond, no-Otto Warriors at half, a game after losing to the no-Embiid, no-Harden 76ers. Butler with 15 for Heat. – 8:41 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The Warriors, without Steph, Klay, Draymond or Porter, are shooting 2-of-17 from 3 and beating the Heat with everyone but Herro and Vincent on the road. – 8:32 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

Regarding Klay, Draymond, and Otto not playing on the 2nd night of a b2b, Kerr says it’s a decision of “care and rest” determined by training staff. As far as games that might become losses with guys out, Kerr said “there is no balance. It’s a decision based on health.” – 6:09 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
The Warriors will be without Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr tonight in Miami. Resting them on the second night of a back-to-back.
Andre Iguodala is still out, as well. – 2:21 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Otto Porter, Andre Iguodala, James Wiseman all out for Warriors tonight at Heat. Of course, Heat failed in similar rodeo Monday against a 76ers team lacking Embiid and Harden. – 1:32 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

👁️ In 2019, the NBA fined Draymond Green $35K for his tweets connecting Marat Kogut to Tim Donaghy.
On Sunday, Kogut ejected Draymond from a game. The league fined Draymond again.

“No disrespect to the Orlando Magic, but they’re one of the worst teams in the league.”
LOL this is a great “No disrespect” from Draymond. – 8:26 AM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk

Draymond Green says the Warriors have been getting punked and that Steph can’t help fix that. pic.twitter.com/zhUgqyuB7h – 10:22 PM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
Draymond Green will likely say it was for a greater good, but he passed up layup tonight — a la Ben Simmons — for kick-out to Damion Lee. – 10:07 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Draymond Green: “To execute it requires a certain level of physicality. No disrespect to Orlando Magic, but that’s one of the worst teams in the league. We can’t match that with them. So if you can’t match that with them, you’re definitely not going to do it against a great team. – 10:06 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Draymond Green says the Warriors are getting “punk’d.”
“I think we’re playing soft. We’re playing stupid. We’re just not playing good basketball.” – 10:01 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Draymond Green isn’t happy with how the Warriors have played without Stephen Curry.
“I think we’re playing soft. We’re playing stupid. We’re just not playing good basketball and we’re getting punked.” – 10:00 PM Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Draymond says the team is “playing stupid.” Said they’re losong games by losing the fourth quarters especially. Feels like they’re not matching other teams’ physicality. Said “we’re getting punked.” – 9:59 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Draymond: ‘We’re getting punked.’ – 9:59 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Draymond Green: “I think we’re playing soft. We’re playing stupid. We’re just not playing good basketball and we’re getting punked.” – 9:58 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Warriors fall late to the Magic
Klay Thompson played this front end of the back to back, and Draymond Green played close to 30 minutes
Heat-Warriors tomorrow
Yet, I feel like I tweeted a similar thing about 48 hours ago – 9:32 PM

More on this storyline

Taylor Rooks: This whole situation, I think, is very fascinating to me this whole Rudy Gobert-Draymond Green thing. So I want for you, why do you feel like that relationship is where it is right now? Or, I guess, lack of relationship? Rudy Gobert: Yeah, I mean, when you say where the relationship is, it’s because of what he’s saying about me, because I’m not talking about him. You’re right. So when I see him in person, he is always really nice and respectful. Rudy Gobert: It’s either right or wrong? Once again, there’s data, there’s numbers, there’s, you know, a lot of people that know this game, that watch the game, and that are kind of neutral, you know, that don’t have anything to gain, and they can make their own opinion. So for me, it’s like, I’m never going to talk down on anyone. You know, I respect all these guys know that. Once again, like I respect every guy in the league, I think everyone for sort of being in this league is already something. So the great ambition, and it’s hard to also be in this league and sustain this league and be consistent, you know, and they will tell you the same. So I show respect, you know, and if you disrespect me in persons different story, but we can say whatever you want. -via Bleacher Report / March 23, 2022 Speaking with reporters on Friday, the Utah Jazz center was asked about all of the shots that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has taken at him recently. “It’s just noise to me,” replied Gobert, per Dana Greene of KTVX in Utah. “If anything, when people keep talking about you, targeting you in some way, it means you’re doing something right. I’m just gonna keep trying to be the best Rudy I can be on and off the court and for my team. -via Larry Brown Sports / February 26, 2022 Dana Greene: Rudy Gobert @rudygobert27 responds to Draymond Green’s @Money23Green multiple negative comments about him saying, “It’s just noise to me.” -via Twitter / February 26, 2022
