Timberwolves avoided ‘Inside the NBA’ over Draymond Green’s scathing criticisms
NY Post
Even when he’s not playing, Draymond Green is getting under opponents’ skin.
This time, it was the Minnesota Timberwolves — again.
According to a report in The Athletic, the Timberwolves didn’t make any of its players available to TNT’s “Inside the NBA” following their Game 4 win on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks because the team was upset by Green’s comments about Rudy Gobert and others.
Green was serving as a panelist on the show and was critical of the play of Gobert, as well as Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Mavs subsequently gentlemen’s swept the Wolves in five games, and will be facing the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals beginning on June 6.
“The decision was a sign of support for Gobert and Towns, who were the subject of derisive and seemingly personal criticism” from Green, the report stated.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
