Could this still be the case this season? The interior of the Warriors spoke of this possibility with frankness and detachment. <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-569222\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Accustomed to playing the leading roles in playoffs, they therefore very regularly crossed. LeBron James and Draymond Green notably found themselves opposed to each other in four consecutive finals between 2015 and 2018. More recently, it was within the framework of the semi-finals of the west 2023 conference that they faced. All for a slightly assessment in favor of the Warriors barrel (3-2).<\/p>\n<p>However, the King could soon have the opportunity to balance the debates. After all, its Lakers are currently in 4th place to the west, just ahead of Golden State, 5th. If we had to stop there, the two teams would therefore compete in the first round of the Postseason. Enough to make the happiness of the many fans of this rivalry &#8230; but also of Draymond. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Draymond Green wrapped by a duel against LeBron in Playoffs<\/h2>\n<p>Very fit for a few weeks, Green is one of the main craftsmen of the rise in the Warriors ranking. As such, he went in recent hours to the set of <em>NBA Today<\/em> And spoke of the potential course of its franchise in playoffs, which would see it challenge the lakers, the Thunder and the Nuggets. A complex chain but which makes him salivate, and in particular for his possible confrontation with LeBron:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-post\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"next-post__text\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tRead<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>After her zero pointed at the Warriors, Luka Doncic without detour: &#8220;unacceptable&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Draymond Green :<\/strong> Well, I think that when you find yourself facing LeBron, it&#39;s always a scenario worthy of Hollywood and an incredible challenge, so it&#39;s something nice to live. But frankly, it doesn&#39;t matter to which of these three teams you find yourself, it will be hard. And more generally, all confrontations will be noted in this Western Conference. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>If you look at the ranking, you can tell yourself that all the teams between 1st and 8th place are held in a pocket handkerchief. Finally, except the Thunder which is far ahead. But any route will be complicated. All the teams of the Western Conference are strong, of which it does not matter to me. Anyway, I think we can look anyone in the whole eyes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is true that since the arrival of Jimmy Butler in their roster, the dubs would seem almost invincible. They thus conceded only two defeats on the 21 games during which their recruit was associated with Stephen Curry on the prosecution. Draymond can therefore be resolutely optimistic for the future and not to fear the slightest future adversary, even as formidable as LBJ Lakers. <\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Ambitious given the beautiful dynamic displayed by his Warriors, Draymond Green says he is ready to lift any mountain that will stand on his path in playoffs.
