McDaniels on ejection: 'I didn't know Draymond was gonna do all that'

Jaden, we hadn't even played two minutes tonight when things escalated, what was the view from your perspective, what happened, uh, I mean, I was just trying to crash for a rebound and uh, he grabbed me by the neck. and I was just trying. You

know

, stand up for myself, get him off of me a little bit and you

know

, the rest is what it is. Could you feel the tensions already at that point? Oh yeah, I knew before, like there was some kind of chatter coming back and but like I wasn't taking it seriously, I was laughing and then I guess it was more important to him, so I don't have a problem.

I have no problem. He was just trying to defend me. What did you guys get tangled up in? on the previous possession is where it started or something started the other night and we had nothing uh he missed a shot we ran down the court we probably said something to each other and I just to me it wasn't that serious I was laughing and joking, so you know, some people take things differently. Do you have any history with him? Do you know him at all? No, I don't know at all, bro, I just don't, I just know it's Klay Thompson a couple more.

Jane, did you expect them to try to be physical and mess up after Sunday or else? To be honest, it felt like it was a normal day, like it was the same team playing, like it was a normal game. Tension from the last game, like I

didn

't even defend him last game I guess, so I don't know what it's like watching the game from here. It's always difficult to see it from the side, but I want to say that we came out with the victory. here clapping and he gave a great pass to Mike Mike made a great shot so we won so that's all that matters I was surprised how it escalated like that even though right after you and Klay got into a fight at center court , as if, it surprised me a little.

I

didn

't know Draymond was going to do all that, that was a little surprising to me, but other than that, yeah, it was just a little altercation. Last question, could you see when Draymond came in and how everything jumped now? I didn't really realize until I got on here and started seeing all the memes and stuff, but you know how social media gets, thanks J, thanks.
