Draymond Green isn’t afraid of speaking his mind. Here are five times in which he’s completely owned the Los Angeles Clippers.

Once upon a time, the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers were in a close rivalry. Both teams were perennial losers, but on the strength of their point guards and young talent, they were flipping the script. They were both fighting for a spot on top.

The Warriors and Clippers met in the 2014 NBA Playoffs. It was exactly what everyone wanted. It was a hard-fought series that went seven games. Ultimately, Golden State fell to Los Angeles in seven games.

The next year the Warriors won 67 games and a championship. Stephen Curry won the MVP and the team was dominant. The Clippers defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the first round, but then fell to the Houston Rockets in a seven game series.

Since the 2014 playoffs, both teams have gone in opposite directions. The Warriors have become dominant and the face of basketball, everything the Chris Paul and Blake Griffin’s Clippers were supposed to be. Meanwhile, LA can’t get past the second round.

These two teams don’t like each other. Since the rivalry started a few years back, there’s been genuine animosity between the squads. They have expressed their dislike on the court, off the court, and in the media.

Draymond Green has been in the middle of it all. He’s instigated some of it. He’s reacted to other situations. Either way, he has yet to take an L in this rivalry. Here are five teams he’s roasted the Clippers.
