Draymond Green's mom agrees Warriors need Kevin Durant for NBA Finals

Share

The Warriors are rolling right now. Whether it's the Splash Brothers heating up from deep, or Draymond Green bringing energy, the Trail Blazers haven’t had any answers in the Western Conference finals. 

And the Warriors are doing it all without Kevin Durant, the back-to-back NBA Finals MVP. 

Without Durant, the Warriors look like the squad that won a ring and set a NBA record with 73 regular-season wins without him. None of that matters, though. When you can have one of the greatest to ever play the game on your team, you welcome him with open arms. 

Draymond Green's mother, Mary Babers-Green, agrees.

Like mother, like son. 

With Durant rehabbing a strained right calf in the Warriors' last four games, all wins, Draymond has averaged 14 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. Don't tell him the Warriors are better without KD, though. 

“That’s idiotic,” Green said to The Athletic's Tim Kawakami on Thursday after the Warriors' Game 2 win over the Blazers. “It’s very idiotic. I don’t think there’s one person in this locker room, one person in this organization that thinks that. And I know for damn sure that any idiot that does possibly [say] it don’t believe it.”

Durant will miss Game 4 on Monday night. A Warriors win would give them a sweep and well over a week of rest before the NBA Finals begin May 30. They hope that will be enough time for Durant to heal and rejoin them on the court.
