Even though the Golden State Warriors missed an opportunity to take a dominating lead over the Houston Rockets on Monday night, forward Draymond Green is still optimistic about his team's chances.

Green said that the team knows what it needs to fix and will be prepared for Game 5, saying:

The three-time All-Star seems to think that the loss was due to a lack of effort by the Warriors. He assures fans that as long as the Warriors give 100 percent, they should win Game 5 handily.

While it's nice to see Draymond take responsibility and face the problem head-on, its a little concerning that the Warriors lacked effort in a Game that could have pretty much locked up the series for them. Teams that take 3-1 leads win the series more than 75 percent of the time, so where was the effort in Game 4?

It could be that the Warriors are facing a little bit of fatigue after having four long seasons that extended all the way into the Finals. It could also be that the Rockets are simply a tougher and more experienced team this year. It's more than likely a combination of the two factors.

Green and the rest of the Warriors will be rested and ready for Game 5 in Oracle Arena. They will do their best to avoid the scenario they faced last year against the Rockets when they went down 3-2 and had to win back-to-back games to clinch a Finals berth.
