Why do people love the playoffs so much? Is it the intensity, the trash talk, or the chaos happening off the court? If you’re someone who craves all of that drama, Warriors-Rockets Game 4 probably made your whole week. During TNT’s broadcast of that tightly contested 109-106 Warriors win, things got a little too interesting for some fans. Former NBA All-Star Reggie Miller caught heat for praising Draymond Green after a heated scuffle with a couple of Houston players. And not everyone was here for it. One of those people was Eddie A. Johnson, and let’s just say, he wasn’t shy about how he felt either.
Later on, Eddie Johnson, who co-hosts NBA Today on Sirius XM and calls Phoenix Suns games, fired off a spicy tweet. “Reggie forgot he does a national telecast and he should be partial. Up cheering on Draymond and Warriors with pom poms.” GOf course, Draymond Green wasn’t about to let that one slide without a clapback of his own the next morning. “Nah there’s just some OGs that don’t sit around and hate…” Green posted. He was clearly aiming that one right back at Johnson.
Now, you didn’t think Eddie would leave it there, did you? Because less than a day later, he jumped back in the mix. Johnson hopped on X again, this time clarifying that he wasn’t hating, just messing with an old teammate (Riggie) for fun. “Hold up. So I am hating because I am messing with an ex teammate? Maybe if New School Media does its research you would have known that! Johnson wrote. The Suns’ color analyst even tossed in a smiley face at the end to keep it light, or at least pretend to.

It’s classic playoff season behavior, when even the broadcasters and analysts get caught up in the on-court fireworks.
