Draymond Green's mother, Mary Babers, is among the best moms in the game on Twitter. With her son playing in his second NBA Finals Game 1 Thursday night, Babers needed to deliver an All-Star performance. She came through in the clutch.
Before the opening tip, Babers went after Doug Gottlieb of CBS Sports, a Green critic.
@GottliebShow and who are you? Is this not a cheap shot? Yo MOUTH IS WAY TO BIG YOU NEED TO SHUT IT! (Cut it cut it)

Strong warm-up for Babers. But the real show started when Matthew Dellavedova made contact with Andre Iguodala's groin area with his hand.
He just hit IGUODALA IN HIS MANHOOD ON PURPOSE!!!!

@TreymondGreen so should that be a suspension? He hit him in his manhood!!!! WHAT WAS THAT?

One series after his controversial groin kick on Steven Adams, Green caused a stir on social media with what seemed like another purposeful kick. This time, Green's leg went up high on Kyrie Irving.
@ringer @mattborcas someone pulling him down, his leg goes up and you act as if that was him trying to kick..YOU NEED TO STOP!

Babers tossed a bit more shade at haters:
@that_asianboy @_segungiwa @OmSzabo he has to be hung like a trunk for that to have kicked him..especially with compression shorts on..

By the way, Babers was tweeting all of this from the Oracle Arena stands.
