The Warriors have a history of overcoming challenges and adversity. The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have kept the dynasty going in the past when it seemed to be running out of fuel. Green believes that they will do it again.
However, this time around, it was evident that the Warriors’ ceiling was not as high as it was last season. The team had a disastrous record of 11-30 on the road, and the Jordan Poole-Draymond Green incident added to the team’s woes. Despite Curry’s incredible postseason performance, the team failed to make it past the second round of the playoffs.
Green knows that the Warriors will face challenges ahead, but he believes that the team will overcome them. He has faith in the organization’s championship pedigree and Steph Curry’s leadership.
The Warriors may not be able to maintain their current roster and add new talent in free agency, given the lower apron and harsher penalties for exceeding the luxury-tax line under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. However, with the core of Curry, Thompson, and Green, they could still be a formidable team for years to come.
Green’s message is clear: don’t underestimate the Warriors. Critics have been wrong in the past, and they will probably be wrong again. The Warriors are not just a “jump-shooting team” that won’t win. They are a resilient team that has overcome adversity time and again. The dynasty may face challenges, but it’s likely not over yet.
Draymond Green Fires Shots at NBA Following Warriors’ Playoff Exit
After their Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors have officially started their offseason. However, it seems that Draymond Green still has some grievances to air, as he fired a shot at the NBA for their supposed role in the Warriors’ NBA Playoffs exit.
In a cryptic message, Green stated, “And so I do say: you guys didn’t let us win another f**king championship. Kudos. Congratulations. This year. Just this year.”
While Green did not give specifics, it’s possible that his comments are about the officiating during the series against the Lakers. Throughout the series, there was talk of flopping, and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr even called out the Lakers for their sportsmanship.
It’s unclear if Green believes that the Lakers received help from the league, but it’s possible that he thinks the NBA had a hand in the Warriors’ loss. Despite the fact that their season is over, Green may still face fines for criticizing the league.
Despite the Warriors putting up a formidable fight, they were ultimately overpowered by a Lakers team that clearly had bad intentions this season. Now that the dust is settling on Golden State’s season-ending defeat, it’s clear that the team has some work to do in the offseason to hopefully come back stronger next year.
Let’s see how things unfold in the days to come.
