The Eastern Conference champion has yet to be crowned, but Draymond Green is confident where the Warriors will be headed in a few weeks.
“I think both teams are tough,” Green began when asked who he wants to play in the NBA Finals on “Inside the NBA”. “Boston causes problems especially offensively, their defense is incredible.
“If you’re asking me who I want to play, I’m going to tell you who I think we’re going to play. We’re gonna play Boston. That’s who we’re gonna play.”
The Celtics are currently up 3-2 vs. the Miami Heat, and just took Game 5 on Miami’s home court, setting up a Game 6 in Boston.
The Warriors split the season series vs. the Celtics, losing the March 16 game at home. Stephen Curry hurt his left foot in that game in a collision with Marcus Smart, an injury that knocked him out until the playoffs.
Golden State finished with a better record than both teams, and will have home court advantage no matter what.
