The Golden State Warriors were warned by their head coach Steve Kerr not to overlook the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs. However, the Dubs failed to heed Kerr’s warning as they were taken to a Game 7 by the Kings. The Warriors had won the first two games at Chase Center to take a 2-0 lead, but the Kings bounced back to win the next two games and tie the series at 2-2.
In Game 5, the Warriors were able to re-establish their dominance and took a 3-2 series lead. But in Game 6, the Kings once again showed their resilience and fought back to force a Game 7. The Dubs will now have to bring their A-game if they want to avoid an upset and advance to the next round.
One of the key players for the Warriors will be Draymond Green. In Game 4, Green suggested to Kerr that he should come off the bench and continue starting Jordan Poole. This unselfish act showed Green’s commitment to the team’s success and made sense in the context of the game. However, with the series on the line, it is crucial that Green starts for the Warriors in Game 7. His leadership, defensive skills, and ability to make plays on both ends of the court will be vital to the team’s success.
In conclusion, the Warriors cannot afford to take the Kings lightly in Game 7. They need to bring their best effort and execute their game plan to perfection if they want to avoid an upset. Draymond Green will be a crucial player for the Dubs, and his performance could be the difference between a win and a loss. It will be an exciting Game 7, and basketball fans around the world will be watching with keen interest.
