Draymond Green and the Warriors have sent a troubling message to Rudy Gobert and the entire Timberwolves team, a squad that thrives on trash talk and a defensive style of play. That's part of the excitement of this series-two physical and dynamic teams facing off.
The four-time NBA champion prepares for Game 2 with special inspiration from Steph Curry. He even drained three-pointers while a team member was wearing a torn Rudy Gobert jersey.
Game 2 was completely dominated by Minnesota, and without Stephen Curry, it's difficult for the Warriors to compete. The outcome will likely rest on Draymond Green and their new addition, Jimmy Butler. Both of them, along with a talented group of young players, have the potential to keep the team competitive while Steph recovers.
However, there was concern when Anthony Edwards injured his leg in the first quarter of the game. Fortunately, he returned for the second half and delivered an outstanding performance, showcasing his talent and skill.
I am truly excited to witness two of the most entertaining teams in the NBA going head-to-head. Regardless of which team advances to the Western Conference Finals, it will be a formidable matchup. I'm betting on Minnesota and Coach Michael Finch to make a deep run.
