Dillon Brooks calls Draymond Green a dirty player and flat out lies about incident in Game 2 of Rockets vs. Warriors

First things first—I wanted to start this blog off with some good news: Jimmy Butler’s MRI came back clean after that brutal fall the other night.

Honestly, given how ugly it looked live, this is probably best-case scenario. Maybe Jimmy misses Game 3, but it sounds like he avoided anything major. If the Warriors survive and move on, it doesn’t seem like Butler’s body is gonna completely break down. That’s a massive W right there.

Now onto the real entertainment. As if this Warriors-Rockets series wasn’t already dripping in bad blood, Dillon Brooks decided to light another match and toss it straight into the gas can.

Because of course he did. And I’m all for it.

You cannot make this up. Dillon Brooks—the same guy who’s essentially the poster boy for cheap shots—went on record and basically called Draymond Green a dirty player.

Look. I’m not here to defend Draymond Green. The man will go down in the NBA Hall of Fame for the best dirty players in league history alongside Bill Laimbeer.

But Dillon Brooks pointing the finger at Draymond? I mean it doesn’t get any more hypocritical than that.

And honestly, if anyone’s qualified to sniff out a dirty player, it is Dillon Brooks. He’s got a PhD in that department. So in a twisted way, he’s probably the most reliable source we have on this topic. And as a real and legitimate sports journalist, that is how I got this inside scoop here for you guys today.

The Best Part? Brooks Is Making Sh*t Up

Of course, this wouldn’t be a Dillon Brooks moment without him also being completely wrong about what actually happened.

He’s trying to claim that Draymond gave Amen Thompson a little push that led to the scary collision with Jimmy Butler. Only problem? It didn’t happen.

If you actually watch the play (which Dillon obviously didn’t), Amen just trips over Steven Adams’ massive tree trunk legs and crashes into Butler while trying to crash the boards. No push. No shove. No shady Draymond moment.

And listen, I’m the last guy who would ever rush to Draymond Green’s defense. While I do enjoy the Draymond experience, It often times can just be a little too much with his flopping and flailing. Often times he’s acting so hard out there that he ends up kicking somebody in the nuts or slapping them in their eye. But facts are facts—Draymond didn’t touch him on that play.

Dirty as hell! And someone gone say dray pushed em! Where is the push!!! pic.twitter.com/FDj9OWRDWx

Look, do I care that Dillon Brooks is out here inventing fouls? Absolutely not. This is peak playoff basketball. We need the drama. We need the trash talk. We need these two psychos taking turns trying to out-dirty each other in front of a national audience.

The series is tied 1-1. Game 3 is basically a must-win for both sides. I fully expect things to get weird immediately. I’m talking the first 5 minutes—someone’s catching an elbow, someone’s flopping like a fish out of water, and someone’s getting teed up. I just hope the quality of basketball can meet that intensity.

WATCH: Paul Reed attempts to light a spark for the Pistons, ends up looking softer than Mitchell Robinson and Karl Anthony-Towns combined >>

Honestly, pop the popcorn now. Because Dillon Brooks vs. Draymond Green with playoff tension boiling over? That’s better TV than whatever garbage the networks are force-feeding us these days. And if you need a break from all this NFL Draft coverage, we got a nice slate of NBA Playoff games on this rainy Saturday, depending where you’re located, of course.
