Mike D’Antoni doesn’t think Draymond Green’s Warriors take defense seriously, either

Houston Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni tries to make sense of it all. If you had Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Houston Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni as the first feud of an NBA season that is sure to be full of them, as this petty-fueled league always is, then congratulations, you just won a virtual pat on the back and a good chuckle courtesy of D'Antoni. It wasn't all that incendiary, since Golden State and Houston owned the NBA's top two offenses last season, respectively, but Green — as he is wont to do — took it as an affront to both his Defensive Player of the Year status and the Warriors' ranking as the league's second-best defense in 2016-17.
