Draymond Green was asked if his popular podcast is giving the Celtics X's and O's advantages in the Finals.- Green mocked the reporter's question and said he was "reaching."
Draymond Green didn't take kindly to a question about whether he is giving away strategic moves on his podcast.

At first, Green flatly said, "No," to the question. He then said he doesn't reveal anything in his podcasts that he doesn't already say during media sessions. Green then asked Fischer what he said on his podcast that would help the Celtics.
When Fischer responded that Green talked about defending some Celtics players differently, Green said: "Oh, yeah, that's just contesting shots. If that's X's and O's, you're reaching for something. It's all good, though, keep going. Reaching heavy."
Green then mockingly summarized the exchange and said, "You went for it. Respect. Appreciate the podcast promo you just gave me, though. 'The Draymond Green Show' — next time just mention it that way."
Green struggled in Game 3, scoring just two points on 1-of-4 shooting while grabbing four rebounds. He fouled out in the fourth quarter.
While speaking to reporters after the game, Green said he played like "shit."
A different reporter then asked Green what disappointed him most about his performance. Green said he played "soft," then again mocked Fischer's question.
"Monte, how much X's and O's do you get from the podcast?" Green said, addressing the other reporter and laughing. "Clearly this guy — I don't know, man. Maybe that's the IQ level over this way."
Shortly after, Green resumed answering a question about what the Warriors need to do better going forward. He referred to making the Celtics play "left-handed" and returned to Fischer again.
"So, Jake Fischer, just an FYI, that's a reference to something, making somebody play left-handed," Green said. "That's not really like X's and O's like literally make them drive left."
