The Golden State Warriors enter the season as defending champions.According to Draymond Green, the opponents already know that they have no chance against the Dubs.He also explained that he was pretty annoyed about the 4-1 win in the finals against the Cavs.
In a conversation with the GQ, Green was asked to quote Rockets-GM Daryl Morey, according to which the Warriors were “not unbeatable”.Green explained:”What are you talking about?They’ve rethought their entire strategy so they can beat the Dubs,”because the teams know they don’t stand a chance against us.”
The Warriors won the finals in 2017 after losing just one game in the complete playoffs.This one defeat in the finals against Cleveland was already too much for Green,”They didn’t really have a chance.It upsets me that we didn’t sweep them.”
The Cavs broke a final record in the only victory of the Cavs in the finals, scoring 49 points in the first quarter.In the whole game they hit alien well from the three-line (24/45).According to Green, this had something to do with the fact that they had “panicked” Cavs, because they had also noticed that they had no chance.
In addition, Green spoke about the expectations for Golden State in the coming season and beyond.According to Green, there is an exaggerated hype about the dubs, so there is something to talk about when things aren’t going so well.For him, however, this is only “extra motivation”.
“Everyone claims that we are the best team ever and that we will win the next five championships,”said Green,”but these people are supposed to be quiet.It’s hard to win a championship.But here’s the thing: once you’re upstairs, people expect everything from you.The problem with sitting on the throne, however, is that it can only go downhill.”
