Kumpiyansa si Draymond Green na makakatuntong pa rin ang Golden State Warriors sa NBA Finals sa ikaanim na sunod na season.
Maaalalang nagtagumpay ang Warriors ng tatlong beses sa nasabing Finals, ngunit yumuko sa Toronto Raptors sa anim na laro nitong nakalipas na season.
Matapos nito, nawala sa poder ng Golden State si All-Star Kevin Durant na tumalon sa Brooklyn Nets sa pamamagitan ng free agency, habang inilipat si Andre Iguodala sa Memphis Grizzlies at nagretiro na si Shaun Livingston.
Kasalukuyan ding nagpapagaling si Klay Thompson mula sa napunit nitong ACL noong Finals.
Gayunman, malakas pa rin ang pananalig ni Green sa tsansa ng Golden State sa 2019-20.
“I am not sure what everyone’s expectations are,” wika ni Green. “We haven’t really had any team meetings yet. But I know what my expectations are — they don’t change from year to year. They are always the same.”
“Because I think obviously what we have returning and myself, Steph and Klay — with the experience that we have, the championship pedigree that we have, and obviously all of us still being in our primes.
“Then you add in a young D’Angelo Russell, you add in Kevon Looney who just got a new contract — it is a lot of talent. Like I said, experience and also a lot of younger guys who are out to prove themselves,” dagdag ni Green.
Tugon naman ni Stephen Curry: “As long as we have the solid core that we’ve got. And the experiences to kind of back us up, we’re going to keep that goal in mind.
“The fun part about it is that we get to kind of recreate the look of it and incorporating the new pieces that we have and that part’s the most exciting. The last five Finals have kind of been a certain way, so whatever we do from here, you’re going to enjoy it even more.”
