The Golden State Warriors may not be in this year’s NBA playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped Draymond Green from sharing his thoughts on the postseason action. The outspoken forward recently criticized the New York Knicks, who are currently leading their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Indiana Pacers.
Green, who played a key role in the Warriors’ four NBA championships, expressed skepticism about the Knicks’ success, suggesting that their playoff run is due in part to facing mediocre competition in the Eastern Conference. He warned Knicks fans that they may be setting themselves up for disappointment, citing past examples of teams like the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers who failed to sustain success after making deep playoff runs.
Despite Green’s comments, the Knicks have managed to knock off the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round and take a 2-1 lead in the conference semifinals. They will look to extend their lead in Game 4 against the Pacers on May 12.
As the NBA playoffs continue, Green’s remarks add an extra layer of intrigue to the postseason drama. Stay tuned to see if the Knicks can prove their critics wrong and make a deep playoff run.
