Draymond Green doesn't see the Golden State Warriors losing the final game of the 2022 playoffs with a healthy Klay Thompson in the fold.
In an AMA session with Bleacher Report, Green opened up about the Warriors' chances in the 2021-22 campaign when Thompson returns from the Achilles injury he suffered in the 2020 offseason.
Green kept his response short and simple, emphasizing that no one is beating them for that Larry O'Brien trophy with a healthy Klay.
“I think we’ll win the Finals again next year. Zero doubt,” Green shared.
The Warriors missed the 2021 playoffs after losing their two games in the play-in tournament. While they technically secured the eighth seed during the regular season with their record, they collapsed and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the fight for the seventh seed and to Memphis Grizzlies for the last postseason spot.
However, the season is not with its positives, with Stephen Curry showing the world that he is still very much in his prime and can still compete at a high level with his hot-shooting. As for Draymond Green, he proved that he can still be the defensive anchor Golden State needs in its quest to return to title contention.
With the current roster they have and the return of Klay Thompson, there is reason to believe the Dubs can win it all. Curry continues to strike fear with his offensive prowess, and the presence of Andrew Wiggins and James Wiseman should only help the Warriors in their mission.
