There is still a whole heap of postseason questions when it comes to the Western Conference, but if the Warriors face the Lakers in the Play-In, Draymond Green is very confident his team can get the job done.
“We’ve beaten the Lakers the last couple of times,” Green said on Wednesday’s edition of The Draymond Green Show. “The Lakers are always a tough matchup, having [Anthony Davis] on the court always makes a difference. I am very confident if we played them in a play-in situation that we could win — that we will win.”
Green is overconfident at the best of times, but his statement is backed up by the Warriors 3-1 season series record over the Lakers.
He also gave credit to LA’s star duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
“In saying that, anytime you’re playing against AD and Bron in a one-game situation, it’s tough,” Green said. “They’re always more than capable of putting a great night together, and it’s more likely in a one-game situation that they’re going to put a great night together than a bad night. So it’s always tough.
“Nonetheless, that is where we are and I have total confidence that we can take advantage of some things that they do and win the game if that is the case.”
Draymond put together one of his most well-rounded games in recent memory earlier this week against the Lakers, where he sunk an almost unheard of five of seven threes.
What has also helped Green’s confidence no doubt is the fact that the Dubs have gone 9-1 over their last ten games.
The storied dynasty also has a chance to climb to number eight seed if thy manage to win their last three remaining games and if the Kings and Lakers can’t get to 47 wins.
