“I'm a little surprised”: Draymond Green hits back at Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason for recent taunts towards Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green hits back at the Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason for his recent taunt towards his team.

Both the Warriors and the Rockets are involved in an intense battle to finish in the 10th spot in the Western Conference.

Eason, in a live telecast on his social media platform Instagram account, taunted Warriors with ‘Come out to play’. "Warriors! Come out to play!" he chanted. "Warriors! Come out to play! Yeah! It's like that!"

Green, in his regular podcast, hit back at Eason and stated that kind of chanting does not work in you favour especially when the player himself has not played since January.

"I'm a little surprised that he hasn't played in a game since January 1st,” he said. “So it's kind of tough to come out yelling, 'Come out and play,' and you're not gonna play.”

As things stand, the Warriors keep their spot in the 10th place in the Western Conference table with 38 wins and 34 defeats.

On the other hand, the Rockets, who are on a bit of a roll after winning 10 back-to-back matches, are sitting a place below them in the 11th spot with 37 wins and 35 defeats.
