It’s been entirely too long since we had some good, old fashioned NBA beef between two teams. Thankfully the Warriors and Cavaliers are here to utterly hate each other and make it all exciting.
Draymond Green and Iman Shumpert are already trash-talking for a potential NBA Finals rematch
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The Cavaliers had been making 3-1 references all summer long and into the season, which prompted Draymond Green to get angry. In an interview with NBA.com in October, he let his feelings be known.
“If Cleveland comes out of the east, I want to destroy Cleveland. No ifs, ands and buts about it. But I also know that there’s steps to get to that point. And if and when we get to that point, I want to annihilate them.”
Now we have a hot new quote from Iman Shumpert directed back Green and the Warriors.
“We supposed to hate them, and they supposed to hate us. It’s OK. They supposed to take cheap shots at us. They’re gonna hate us, fam. That’s what sports is. It’s great. I love every bit of it. I’m glad he said that ’cause we gon’ bust they ass, too. You need to type that up: We gon bust your ass. Period.”
Please let them meet in the Finals. This is incredible. Shumpert went on to tweet the following, and he’s totally right.
