Draymond Green on the Western Conference Finals against Rockets: It's time to play
The Warriors will play the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. And Draymond Green can’t wait to play against Houston even tough the final goal of the Warriors is to win the third championship in four years.
Per ESPN, And now that these two powers are finally set to meet in the Western Conference finals, Draymond Green says, "It's time to play."
"They have made it known that their team is built to beat us," Green said Tuesday after the Warriors eliminated the New Orleans Pelicans in five games. "Kind of their, like you said, obsession or whatever you want to call it -- it is what it is. Like I've said before, all that stuff is cool. Obviously, you want to build your team to beat the defending champs because that's usually how you have to go to win a championship. So, all understandable.
"That stuff has been said for about a year now. It's time to play."
The Rockets might have been fixated on the Warriors, but according to Green, the Warriors don't share that obsession.
"Man, we won two championships in three years. We're not about to run off talking about how bad we want to play somebody," Green said. "We want to win another championship, and it don't matter who's in the way of that. If you're in the way of that, then you happen to be in the way. But we're not about to run around like, 'Yeah, we want to play them in the conference finals.' For what? It doesn't matter to us who we play. However, we got them. All right, now let's get it. We get to it now.
"We've got a goal. Whoever is in the way of that goal, then we got to see you. You got to see us. All right now, they're in the way. Perfect. But we're not running around talking about, 'Man, we want them bad.' Nah, we want a championship bad. Another one."
