Kevin Durant, Draymond Green booed by LA crowd at U.S.-China game

LOS ANGELES -- Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were booed by the sellout crowd at Staples Center before Team USA's 106-57 win over China on Sunday.

They didn't notice.

"I did? Huh," Durant said of being booed. "I didn't hear it."

Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers did, though, and he had a theory.

"I think it's Clipper fans because they cheered DeAndre [Jordan]," Myers said. "That's just my guess."

It was, after all, LeGrab that marked the beginning of the end for the 73-win season.

The Warriors might have lost that series. Green is a piece of shit who should have been suspended for multiple intentional attacks in the playoffs.

an angel, but it's funny how people have given him so much crap about the groin kick (even after Adams forgave him and after he went on to get suspended in the finals), but no one has anything to say about LeBron despite all the instigating and trash talk he did towards the Warriors and their fans.

Instead he ginned up a controversy using his mighty media machine and got Draymond suspended.
