Draymond said they could have had zero more championships if Durant was not included in the team
The NBA Finals is all-level going into Boston. After capitulating in the fourth quarter in Game 1, the Golden State Warriors made sure none of that was going to happen as they closed out Game 2 with a flourish. But one play from Draymond Green which resulted in Stephen Curry getting an open three is leaving fans puzzled.
It was the third quarter and the Warriors were up 62-73. Curry got the ball up and Green was setting the screen for him. He set one screen and took Derrick White with him before setting another screen to block Al Horford from getting up on Curry. Steph got free and pulled up from the three-point line and made the shot.
What was the most embarrassing part is that Green set not only one but two illegal screens. He also pushed White away and there was no foul called. And Curry got a wide-open three off it.

It’s wild watching Draymond play basketball like a football player despite having video evidence of him playing football like a basketball player.
It’s the sports equivalent to being a keyboard warrior.

So ridiculous. He's like a pulling guard

If the Celtics (and it’s obvious the Celtics did to some degree) are reacting like the Celtic fans here, then Draymond couldn’t have impacted the game better

The Warriors were in cruise control in Game 1 after three quarters. But then they were hit by a monster quarter by Al-Horford and the Boston Celtics shooting lights out from three. They saw their double-digit lead evaporate within minutes and they lost their first game at home in these playoffs.

But Game 2 was entirely different. After being close in the first half, the Warriors took control of the game. They outscored the Celtics by 21 points in the third quarter and locked them down. The Warriors were outstanding on both ends of the floor and the Celtics had enough of it by the fourth. They cleared out their bench in a hurry.

The Celtics will be happy with the way the series has turned out so far. They have taken a game on the road and now they will have to defend home court. If the Celtics win the next 2 games, this series is almost over. But this task is easier said than done.
