The Golden State Warriors were the favorite to repeat as NBA champions even before the season started, and true to form, they take a decisive 3-1 lead on the Houston Rockets back to California for Game 5, where the Warriors will try to put Houston away (they’ll likely be without their superstar point guard, Stephen Curry, more on that later today).
All the while, Draymond Green was spending his time fending off a pesky reporter that continually asked him a bizarre question about the correlation between floods in Houston, and Golden State victories. A question the reporter himself didn’t even seem to fully have prepared, one that he’d apparently pressed Green about before, and one that he’d been warned about asking by Green before. None of that seemed to deter the fumbling journalist, much to the dismay of Draymond, who was likely a lot more concerned about the yet-to-be-disclosed future of Stephen Curry in these playoffs than some weird coincidence involving lots of rain, and Warriors victories. Green shot back at the reporter that he’d asked him to lay off that line of questioning in the past, and reminded him that the floods should be looked at in a more serious light. “People are losing their lives bruh, people are losing their homes. Don’t ask me that no more.”
Well said.
