    "Draymond Green, Stephen Curry fire back at critics of Warriors' title

      Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN Staff Writer
    OAKLAND, Calif. -- Forward Draymond Green said Tuesday that teams questioning the Golden State Warriors' championship are bitter, pointing out that you don't hear such talk coming from teams such as the San Antonio Spurs.

    Pelton: Were Warriors just 'lucky' to win title?
    Yes, there was luck involved in the Warriors' championship run. But is that the whole story?


    League MVP Stephen Curry, meanwhile, issued a mock apology for the Warriors' success.

    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."

    "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."

    Klay Thompsondescribed 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."

    Last week, center Andrew Bogut also responded to the critics in an interview with KNBR radio.

    "I've actually got my [championship] ring fitted for my middle finger, so they can kiss that one," Bogut said.

    "It's just bad, man," Green said Tuesday, describing how he'd feel about questioning someone else's title. "I would feel bad about myself doing that. That's just crazy to me, but that just lets you know how many people didn't want to see us win. Because they sick."

    Asked why he believes the Warriors are attracting this particular criticism, Green said, "People hate change. People don't accept change well."

    Seriously, f*** Doc Rivers. I don't care if he was saying it kindly even, or just making a point, mind your own business and stick to your own team. From the "our starting 5 is unbeaten" garbage, to the blank banner, to covering up our banners with his plages ugly mugs, this guy continues to be a clown.

    Wow. Just when you think the greaseball can't get any greasier. What a disgrace.

    Sorry but you're team was up by what 15-20 right? In the 4th quarter at home and you blow it.

    New rule: if you've never been past the 2nd round you can't talk.... especially about champions.

    He's always said bull**** like this. It's not really surprising or newsworthy anymore. He's a bitter, sore loser and he's shown it his whole career.

    I have no idea why he's so well respected in the field.

    As Earl Strom once told off Auerbach... "You're showing all the class that you have!" Runs with all the people involved or use to be involved with that organization.

    I don't think there is any worse mixture. He has C Bags and Clippers blood in him and he's a whiny a** hole to boot. He should be excommunicated to an island not capable of supporting any life form.
