Anna Horford eviscerated Draymond Green online after the NBAer was critical of her brother, Al, during a recent playoff matchup. She sent out a series of messages on her X account directed at Green, where she took aim at the fact that his team was no longer competing in the postseason.
The Warriors were sent home early after losing a play-in game to division rival Sacramento. With his season over, Draymond Green took to the airwaves as an analyst on NBA on TNT.
While discussing Game 5 of the Boston-Cleveland series, he was heard critiquing Al Horford‘s play, particularly on the defensive end of the floor.
TNT paying Draymond Green to say 38 year old Al Horford struggles with PNR defense on 24 year old Darius Garland. Genius insight.

That’s not necessarily a surprise considering the pride Green puts into his defensive effort. Still, Al Horford’s sister, Anna, took major offense.
She rifled off a series of messages on social media bashing the forward in support of her brother.
“Solid overall defense, including 3 blocks, and Draymond is on NBA on TNT saying Al’s getting cooked?” an initial tweet read. “F— off and enjoy your vacation.”
The shots wouldn’t end there.
A short time later, she gave Green a second dose with a message that said, “Draymond is a f—ing hater. Biased opinions are weak opinions. Get him off the TV.”
It’s not the first time Anna Horford has gone scorched earth in defense of her brother. She’s previously taken aim at LeBron James, Bucks’ star Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Philadelphia 76ers fans.
For what it’s worth, Draymond Green’s words didn’t age well. Al Horford went on to have his best game of the series, racking up 22 points with a team-high six three-pointers to help the Celtics close out the set.
Boston will now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals where it awaits either New York or Indiana.
