Alright, so yesterday I wanted to look up Draymond Green’s numbers from that crazy Game 7 in 2016 against the Cavs. You remember, the one where the Warriors blew the 3-1 lead? Everyone talks about LeBron or Steph, but I got curious about Draymond’s impact, you know? Felt like he musta done something big.
First thing, I got lazy. Just typed “draymond green game 7 2016 stats” right into Google. Figured it’d pop right up. Tons of LeBron stuff, highlight videos, articles about the choke… but Dray’s actual game stats? Nada. Just generic season averages or maybe Finals totals. Annoying.
Okay, fine. I decided to hit the NBA’s official website. Spent a good 15 minutes clicking around. Found the game recap archive after some digging. Found the score for Game 7 easily enough – 93-89 Cavs. But the player stats box? It was like pulling teeth. Super clunky interface, slow loading. Finally found it. Saw Steph’s stats, LeBron’s, Kyrie’s triple-double… but where the heck was Draymond? He started, right? Had to be there! Scrolled down… scrolled down… There he was! Way down the list.
Here’s what I grabbed straight off the NBA site stats table:
- Minutes: 46 minutes! Almost the whole dang game!
- Points: 32 points? Whoa! More than I remembered.
- Rebounds: Grabbed 15 boards.
- Assists: Had 9 dimes.
- Steals: Got 2 steals.
- Blocks: Blocked 2 shots too.
- Turnovers: But… 4 turnovers.
- Fouls: Kept it clean with only 2 fouls.
- Shooting: Hit 11 out of 15 shots? Seriously? 73%?!! Mostly inside the paint, I bet.
- Threes: Went 2 for 4 from deep. Not bad.
- Free Throws: Uh-oh… only 8 for 14. That’s rough, about 57%.
So yeah, he was playing out of his mind! Dude was everywhere – scoring like crazy, grabbing boards, setting guys up, blocking shots. Almost a triple-double! But those missed free throws… oof. Especially late, right? You gotta hit those clutch FTs.
To wrap it up: Looking this up was surprisingly messy. NBA’s own site stats section is pretty bad, man. Took longer than it should’ve. Draymond played like a superstar that night – carried the team on his back offensively way more than usual. Almost 32 points? On crazy efficiency? Wild. But those missed free throws… you can’t help but wonder, what if? Stats show he was amazing, but the big miss haunts it, you know?
