When the Golden State Warriors got eliminated from the NBA Play-In Tournament, Nurkic poked fun at Green and the Dubs by posting the phrase, “That’s all folks,” on social media.

The Phoenix Suns, though, were also eliminated from the playoffs after getting beaten by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, 4-0. The sweep was something that Green didn’t let pass, and it was an opportunity for him to take a jab at Nurkic.

“Unfortunately, that is all folks,” Green said on his podcast.

“You got to be really careful when you're not that successful and you try to take jabs at people… When you really don't affect the outcome of the game, it's really tough to take jabs at people because you got a jab in there and you can't affect what your end result is. And so, the Big Softie bowed out.”
