The Golden State Warriors regained their best form right in the playoffs. Draymond Green has been a key part of that. His elite defense stands out and fuels the team’s resurgence. Because of this, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy praised his impact and backed his case for the DPOY award.

They’re hungry,” veteran Warriors forward Draymond Green says of his upcoming matchup with the Rockets. “They want what we’ve experienced before.”

Draymond Green and Steph Curry have never lost a postseason series to the Rockets. The Warriors legends are 4-0 against Houston in the playoffs. Green, who has helped Golden State win four championships, told Baron Davis on his podcast that he's "excited" to face the Rockets in the playoffs again.
