Vintage Draymond Green is a sight to behold.
Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green reacts after blocking a shot against the Dallas Mavericks’ Daniel Gafford and gaining the rebound against the Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving in the fourth quarter of a NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. So did you really think he would let the Warriors’ dynasty end quietly?And there’s plenty of fight left in him yet.
His performance in Sunday’s win over the Spurs was vintage. He filled the box score, but it was all the things that don’t show up in a box score that won the game for the Warriors.Against a young, inexperienced, but unquestionably talented Spurs team, Green won with toughness, determination, and smarts. There’s no doubt San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich will use Green’s game as a case study in his lessons for how to win games in the NBA.
Over the last five games , the Warriors have the second-best defensive rating in the NBA. Elite competition? Hardly. But the Warriors aren’t in a position to nitpick. Credit to Andrew Wiggins, Trayce Jackson Davis, Klay Thompson, and the more lenient spring whistle but with Green in the middle of it all, the Warriors’ defense has looked formidable as of late.
I don’t see that requirement changing anytime soon. It’ll undoubtedly be in place for Thursday’s game with the Rockets. That’s anyone’s guess, but I’ll provide this bit of advice, learned from a decade of firsthand experience:
