Warriors star Draymond Green rips Dillon Brooks following postgame snub

The Golden State Warriors were able to avoid blowing another 3-1 series lead as they defeated the Houston Rockets 103-89 in Game 7 of their first-round matchup. It marked their fifth time bouncing the Rockets from the playoffs in Houston's last seven postseason appearances -- dating all the way back to 2015.

The series featured two of the NBA's most notorious "villains" in Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks. While the two have made it clear that they do not like one another in the past, there were not many notable on court moments during the series.

Green did, however, take issue with Brooks leaving the court without shaking anyone's hand. He called out the Rockets forward during the latest episode of "The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis".

"Dillon Brooks ran off the court," Draymond Green claimed on Tuesday. "So, when I say you see what guys is made of, he ran off the court. Ain't shake nobody up. You admitted you were trying to hurt Steph's hand. Which, again, fine by me, bro. I get it, we all get it when you hoop. So, if you're gonna be on that type of time, wear shades in the press conference, you're going to be talking, you're going to be Mr. Big Bad Wolf, don't lose and then not face the music. Don't be that guy. Because, again, you lose a lot of respect for guys in that moment."

Green mentioned his previous comments where he claimed that Brooks was holding the Memphis Grizzlies -- who he played for at the time -- back before continuing to rip into him.

"That's who Dillon Brooks is. We understand, you're a sucka, man... Dillon Brooks couldn't come through in this series, in large part because nobody on the court respects you. So anything you do, the way it's going to be looked at, the way it's going to be received, it ain't beneficial to your team."

Brooks had a rough performance in Game 7 as he finished with eight points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal while shooting 3-9 from the field, 0-3 from three-point range and 2-2 from the free-throw line. Meanwhile, Green showed his championship pedigree as he had his best game of the series. He recorded 16 points, six rebounds, five assists. one steal and two blocks while shooting 7-15 from the field.
