Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green is very excited to not be in Cleveland for the NBA Finals.
Green and the Warriors played against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers four years in a row. The environment of Toronto is something Green and the Warriors are embracing.

On Friday, Green was walking around Toronto. That's something the Warriors All-Star swingman probably wouldn't have done in Cleveland since he's hated in that city. Plus, Toronto, objectively, is much more beautiful than Cleveland (sorry LeBron).
The Warriors are down 0-1 in the championship series against the Toronto Raptors. It's the first time in the Steve Kerr era that the Dubs have fallen behind 0-1 in the Finals. With Kevin Durant already ruled out for Game 2, Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will need to continue to carry the load on offense, while hoping role players step up on the road to help account for the absence of the two-time reigning Finals MVP.
Because Golden State has been here before, it wouldn't surprise anyone to see them win Game 2, perhaps even in blowout fashion. The Warriors respond to losses better than anyone in the NBA right now. They often play their best basketball when their backs are against the wall and everyone is doubting them.
Green recorded a triple-double in Game 1, but he shot just 22.2 percent from the field. The Warriors are hoping their Swiss Army Knife shoots the ball better in Game 2 on Sunday, leading to a crucial victory as the NBA Finals shift to Oakland for Games 3 and 4.
