The NBA playoff season has finally kicked off with some exciting matchups already done with. With eight teams destined to be upset after game 1 of the first round, the Golden State Warriors just became one of them. The Sacramento Kings won a close game against the Dubs at home, sending everyone into a frenzy. The defending champions losing the first game of the postseason was something no one expected.

Warriors star Draymond Green expressed his honest feelings about the game after DubNation was left unfulfilled. The Sacramento Kings narrowly defeated the Warriors with superstar Stephen Curry missing a crucial opportunity to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Overall, there are a lot of takeaways from the game for the Dubs and Green tried to address some of them.

Draymond Green reacts to the disappointing Game 1 loss

Throughout the match, many stars and well-known faces from the NBA community reacted to the play with an electrifying atmosphere set in at the Golden 1 Center on Saturday. However, Ayesha Curry’s excitement for the game wasn’t enough for her husband as the Kings ended up being too much for the Dubs. Spectators, including leaguer Kyle Kuzma, were left in a frenzy as the charged-up air soon gave way to the realization of the defeat.

After the loss, Draymond Green immediately went live on his podcast, the Draymond Green show, to explain what went wrong with the game, while candidly accepting how it was a big blow for the San Francisco side.

“Dubs lost the game 126-123. If I’m being quite honest, to have Steph with a shot to tie the game and go to overtime, I didn’t think we played great, “ said Green. He added, “… I think there’s a lot of things we can do better? obviously we don’t do moral victories, so I’m not going to sit here and say ‘we feel good about that’ like fu** no, like we lost the game, we down 0-1 and you got to figure out a way to go get game two.”

A decade ago, such statements by Green could be taken with a pinch of salt. However, four rings later, one can truly believe that the Warriors’ no. 23 knows what he’s saying, with his now-extensive experience of the playoffs. Green also explained how the Kings star, De’Aaron Fox blew past them and how the Dubs should’ve handled him better.

The Sacramento Kings have resurged in the 2022-23 season

After losing in 16 consecutive seasons, the Kings clinched their playoffs spot this year for the first time since 2006. Fans’ and players’ moods are at an all-time high, as there has been an amazing show of support for the team in every game.

Many might’ve thought that their historic playoff berth would be the end of this season’s fortunes, but after their first playoff win in 17 years, they’ve proved everyone wrong, again. Sacramento’s favorite, De’Aaron Fox, dropped 38 points last night, taking the Warriors by surprise with his superb shooting. Stephen Curry’s missed three-pointer in the last moments of the game evidenced the nerves that the Kings can arouse, even for superstars.
