Draymond Green defends James Harden by calling out Cavs teammates — why he's not wrong

Draymond Green didn't just come to the defense of James Harden after the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 1 collapse against theNew York Knicks; he had a stern message for the star guard's teammates. Speaking onThe Draymond Green Show, Green made the case that Cleveland's defensive breakdowns,not Harden's limitations, opened the door for Jalen Brunson to take over late in a 115-104 overtime loss. That same trend continued into Cleveland's 103-93 Game 2 loss, and when you look at how the Knicks attacked each game, it's hard to argue with the Golden State Warriors forward.

USA TODAY

"Jalen Brunson living on an island with James Harden guarding him. This isn't just a coaching issue," Harden said. "When you're trying to compete at a championship level, you must have guys that want to take on that challenge [and say] 'I'm not switching at this point in the game'..."

"… But you got guys in there that don't really want that challenge, they don't wanna fight through the screen and say 'this my matchup, I wanna stop this guy,'" Harden continued. "… It is not James Harden's job to guard Jalen Brunson 1-on-1, it's not what he's paid to do, some of those other guys who's just switching off, it is your f***ing job."

Green's argument wasn't just a passionate pushback on the current narrative surrounding the Eastern Conference Finals matchup; it's also extremely valid.

Criticism of James Harden's defense vs. the Knicks shouldn't fall on the Cavaliers star

Arguably, the most important line from Green was the point that shutting down Brunson is "not what [Harden's] paid to do." When theCavaliers struck a deal to acquire Hardenin exchange for Darius Garland, the mindset had to be focused on adding more offensive firepower. You aren't making that trade to bolster your defense or call on Harden to defend an opposing team's best player.

The Cavaliers have several above-average defensive players, but regardless, Green is correct about not allowing Harden to get switched onto Brunson immediately consistently each game. This situation isn't the same as longtime NBA fans have seen in the past, when players like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James would take on that matchup.

Comparing the situation with Harden to one with Bryant and/or James is unrealistic, as the two are polar opposites. Bryant was one of the most intense players to ever play in the NBA, and James is a physical specimen who could guard any position on the floor, especially during his prime years.

However, Harden is an exceptional offensive weapon with elite passing ability who can score from anywhere on the floor. The Cavaliers should be actively game-planning around how to approach the rest of this series defensively, with a detailed emphasis on not asking one of their two top offensive weapons to chase one of the league's best guards, Brunson, around all night.

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long!” Trump wrote. “No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk.”

“Thank goodness he’s finally gone!” he continued.

Trump previously warned reporters thathe would send “a message” to Colbert afterThe Late Showconcluded its historic 33-year run on Thursday.

Colbert, meanwhile, celebrated his last episode ofThe Late Showwith an uplifting sendoff that madeno mention of Trump at all. Instead, the finale saw Colbert visited by his fellow late-night hosts John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel , a.k.a. "Strike Force Five." There were cameos by Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows, and Ryan Reynolds. And, finally, the former Beatle himselfPaul McCartneysat down foran interview with the host and performed "Hello, Goodbye"with the house band, Colbert, and Elvis Costello, as audience and crew members danced on stage.

CBS announced last summer thatThe Late Showwould come to an end in May, calling the move “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.” Reports have suggested the network was losing upwards of $40 million a year on the production.

However, others have speculated that Paramount’s merger with Skydance Media, which required approval from Trump's Federal Communications Commission at the time, may have been a potential cause for the show’s shuttering. Especially since Colbert had been critical of the merger on his show prior to its cancellation.

Trump previously denied any involvement inThe Late Show's demise.

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!”he wrote on Truth Social. “The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!”

FormerLate ShowhostDavid Lettermanrecently claimed that top brass at Paramount Global and Skydance Media"dumped” Colbert so that he couldn't make any more “trouble” for CBS.

“I’m just going to go on record as saying: They're lying," Letterman toldThe New York Times. "Let me just add one other thing... They're lying weasels."

Reports: Giants DL Roy Robertson-Harris tears Achilles

Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris of the New York Giants tore his right Achilles on Thursday during team OTAs, multiple outlets reported Friday.

Field Level Media

The injury occurred as he was rushing the passer in an 11-on-11 drill, according to The Athletic.

Robertson-Harris, 32, was a reliable contributor for the Giants last season after signing a two-year, $9 million contract. He started all 17 games and had 35 tackles and six quarterback hits.

He played 56% of the defensive snaps behind only Dexter Lawrence, who was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals in April. The Giants received the No. 10 pick of the 2026 draft, used to select offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa from Miami.

Robertson-Harris is a nine-year NFL veteran, having played with the Chicago Bears (2017-20), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-24) and Seattle Seahawks (2024) before signing with the Giants.

He has appeared in 134 games (79 starts) and recorded 246 tackles, 73 quarterback hits and 19 sacks.

The Giants signed veteran defensive linemen Shelby Harris and DJ Reader earlier this year and will need Darius Alexander and Bobby Jamison-Travis to be ready to play.

Alexander was a third-round draft pick in 2025, and the Giants selected Jamison-Travis in the sixth round this year.
