Since the end of last year’s finals, the Golden State Warriors have been the subject of a lot of trollposts, especially on social media. Leading 3-1 after Game 4, the Dubs had an epic collapse, losing the next three games and allowing the Cleveland Cavaliers to become the first team in NBA history to overcome that deficit.
While many believe that they had a very difficult time going through the ridiculing all year long, Draymond Green revealed that they weren’t reminded of it, as it was not even mentioned in their locker room since it happened. He also said their main source of motivation is not to get over that unfortunate turn of events they experienced, but to chase greatness instead.
"I don't know if '3-1' has been mentioned in our locker room one time all year. [Chasing greatness] is the only motivation we need" Draymond

Now in the finals for the third consecutive year against the Cavs, Green and company will have the opportunity to avenge their loss from a year ago and prove that lightning does not strike twice. It also helps that they have an improved lineup, especially with the addition of Kevin Durant to their fold.
Given the understanding they have to never feel too complacent despite what appears to be an insurmountable lead, the Warriors are expected to play at their best in each game of the series. The defeat last year could even turn out as the best thing that could've happened to them, as they are now hungrier to win, and show everyone that they are deserving of the run of success they currently have.
