As you know, Draymond Green didn't spend Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena with his Warriors teammates, because he was suspended for getting into it with LeBron James at the end of Game 4. Instead, he spent Game 5 across the parking lot from Oracle Arena at O.co Coliseum watching the A's host the Rangers. He was set up in a suite at the game, and according to The Undefeated reporter Marc J. Spears, Warriors GM Bob Myers and Marshawn Lynch were there with him:

Spears released a lengthy report detailing what the night was like for Green on Tuesday morning. In it, he writes about how a bunch of crazy Warriors fans found Green at the game and chanted "MVP!" in his direction as he emerged from a stadium bathroom, which must have been a, er, great (?) experience for him.

But as you might imagine, Green didn't have a whole lot of fun sitting in a suite while he watched his teammates play on TV. His absence allowed LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to combine for 82 points during during the Cavaliers' 112-97 victory. It also allowed the Cavs to make the series 3-2 as they head back to Cleveland for Game 6. So according to Spears' report, Green obviously wasn't thrilled with the way the night played out.

But there was at least one Marshawn Lynch moment that helped lighten the mood in the suite. Spears spoke with a source who told him that Lynch got excited during the first half of the game when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson sunk a series of shots. And he responded by saying almost exactly what you would expect Marshawn Lynch to say in that situation.

"Those light-skinned guys can play," he reportedly said.

It's hard to be too upset when Marshawn is providing commentary like that, right? You can see how the rest of Green's night went by checking out The Undefeated piece here.
