Boston’s fans were vocal from the start of the game and particularly targeted Golden State forward Draymond Green. The crowd hit the Warriors’ instigator with “F— you Draymond!” chants during introductions for the contest and continued them throughout its duration.

The Warriors didn’t take kindly to the treatment of Green, and Klay Thompson was particularly irked by it. He was asked about the crowd following the game and took dig at the Celtics faithful.
“We’ve played in front of rude people before,” Thompson told reporters. “Dropping F-bombs with children in the crowd. Really classy. Good job, Boston.”
Those comments certainly won’t endear Thompson to Celtics fans. In fact, he has probably established himself as the prime target of the Boston crowd in Game 4.

But Thompson isn’t alone in his opinion of the crowd. Steve Kerr chided the Boston fans and, like Thompson, said that they were “real classy.”
Meanwhile, Green’s wife Hazel Renee echoed Thompson’s sentiments in an Instagram story. She called the behavior of the Boston crowd “disgusting” and “shameful” and noted that her children had to listen to the chants throughout the night.

What does Green think of all of this? He said that the crowd did what he expected in his postgame interview. He also explained that he usually likes playing the villain “but didn’t really feed off of it tonight.”
Ironically, he also made a profane comment about his performance which came with his son sitting next to him.
“I played like s—,” Green said.
