Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks has been in the middle of a lot of NBA beef recently, most notably with Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. 

During an interview with ESPN's Tim Keown, Brooks said, "I don't like Draymond at all. I just don't like Golden State. I don't like anything to do with them. Draymond talks a lot. Gets away with a lot, too. His game is cool -- with Golden State -- but if you put him anywhere else, you're not going to know who Draymond is. He plays with heart, plays hard, knows the ins and outs of their defense. I guess that's why they like him over there."

Green notably responded with a ruthless message on his podcast; however, that has not calmed Brooks down one bit, as the Grizzlies forward is once again talking trash. When informed that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic would be out for Saturday night's game vs. Memphis, Brooks said, "It goes to show that sometimes they ain’t ready to come back to a physical game."

According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Brooks added, "I hope Luka gets back for the next game so I can guard him. I didn’t get a chance to guard him the first game and he had a great game [Oct. 22 when Brooks was hurt]. So I wanna see where I’m at."

While he won't get to defend Luka Doncic on Saturday night, Dillon Brooks has set the stage for their next matchup.
