Draymond Green has some thoughts.
He expresses those thoughts in a lot of curse words to GQ.
Here are some of the best quotes.
“They didn’t stand a f*cking chance,” he says of the Cavs, who lost in five games. “It pissed me off we didn’t sweep them, though.”
GM Daryl Morey had said in an interview, reacting to the Warriors’ title. The team had texted it to each other: “They are not unbeatable. There have been bigger upsets in sports history. We are going to keep improving our roster. We are used to long odds. If Golden State makes the odds longer, we might up our risk profile and get even more aggressive. We have something up our sleeve.”
Then he pauses, scoffing at Morey’s comments.
“What the f*ck are you talking about?” he says to me. “They are really trying to rethink their whole strategy”—here he bumps a table repeatedly with his hand for emphasis, getting excited—“because teams know they don’t have a f*cking clue.”
“That’d never been done!” Green exclaims. “They don’t come out and hit twenty-four threes and they’re swept. And that’s the second best team in the world. It’s pretty fucking sick to see how everybody is just in a fucking panic about what to do. You sit back and think, like, these motherfuckers, they know. That’s the fun part about it: They know they don’t stand a chance.”
“Just because you compile a team of superstars don’t mean it’s going to work, because it’s a lot of ego,” says Green. “And we just happen to have a perfect group to where it works. You can’t be that good without ego. But it’s not an ego in the sense of: I need this shot, I need that shot. Ego in the sense of: We’re f*cking good. Damn right we are.”
Green is confident and he isn’t incorrect in a lot of the moves this offseason were specifically geared toward the Warriors.
That is what will make the season so interesting.
Do the others teams really have a chance or is it just makeup on a pig?
