Draymond Green likes to communicate on the floor. He likes to communicate off it with his podcast.
Jalen Green of the Houston Rockets has noticed.
After the Warriors 103-94 victory over Houston, Jalen Green was asked about an exchange he and Draymond had during the game.
He responded by saying all the two were doing was talking. Jalen then took the opportunity to turn it into a diss of Draymond.
JALEN GREEN ON DRAYMOND POSTGAME:
“Just talking. He can’t really do much of anything else, so talking is his only way.”

Draymond was asked about the confrontation and he quickly deflected. Jalen was a little more aggressive, remarking about Draymond’s skill in the process.
The argument referenced between the two came after the game, when both Greens met at center court jawing with each other.
It was Draymond who drew the headlines. People noticed he motion to his nails as if to paint them. He did it to mock Jalen, who has been painted his in the past.
Grizzlies Broadcaster #1 (Random Dude):
“Jalen Green has his fingernails painted??”
Grizzlies Broadcaster #2 (Former NBA player Brevin Knight):
“Oh yeah, he’s…he’s…he’s been that way for a couple of years…”

Personal jabs are never off limits for one of the best trash talkers ever. Draymond got a reaction and his team got the win. It’s just another reason why this is one of the best series in the first round this year.
The Warriors now lead the series 2-1 with game four at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Monday night will be the next chance for the Greens to resume this battle.
