After the Celtics' Kelly Olynyk incited a scuffle by setting an illegal high screen on the Wizards' Kelly Oubre Jr. in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Warriors' Draymond Green offered some choice words from the other side of the country.



"He's dirty, a dirty player," Green said on Uninterrupted's Dray Day podcast. "I don't respect guys like that. I know he's not the greatest basketball player of all time, so maybe he feel like he got to do that, but you don't have to do that. Just dirty."



Olynyk was also involved in a controversial playduring the first round of the 2015 playoffs, when he dislocated the left arm of Cavaliersforward Kevin Love during a chase for a rebound.



Green, meanwhile, has drawn scorn for many for his kicking antics -- specifically some shots to the groin of Thunder center Steven Adams during last year's playoffs.

Green and the Warriors will try to sweep the Jazz on Monday night and earn a trip to the Western Conference finals. Olynyk and the Celtics face Washington in Game 5 of their series, which is tied 2-2, on Wednesday.
