Draymond Green has a message for anyone doubting the Golden State Warriors.
Green was asked after the Warriors lost Game 6 of the NBA Finals to lose the series how he thinks the team will do next season. That’s when he broke out the underdog speech.
“I think everybody thinks this is kind of the end of us. That’s just not smart. We’re not done yet,” Green said. “We lost this year. Clearly it just wasn’t our year. But, that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
“Yeah, I hear a lot of that news — ‘it’s the end of a run and all that jazz.’ I don’t see that happening though; we’ll be back.”
Green is used to being doubted, so maybe this is the motivation he needs.
But the questions surrounding the Warriors are legitimate. Kevin Durant has a ruptured Achilles that will likely keep him out for the season, and nobody knows if he will even return to to Golden State. On top of that, Klay Thompson ended the season with a knee injury.
The Warriors should not be doubted, but their future heading into next season does seem murky.
