The Golden State Warriors are gearing up for the NBA play-in tournament, facing a tough road ahead as they strive to clinch a playoff berth.
In a recent episode of his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Warriors’ star Draymond Green shared his thoughts on the play-in tournament, now in its fifth season, revealing his mixed emotions about its format.
Expressing his disdain for the play-in, Green also acknowledged its positive impact on basketball, labeling it as one of the best innovations in the sport.
Despite his personal reservations as a player, Green recognized the tournament’s role in injecting heightened excitement into the latter stages of the regular season, speaking favorably of it from a fan’s perspective.
As the No. 10 seed, the Warriors face the challenge of winning two games to secure the No. 8 spot and a matchup against the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.
Their journey begins with a crucial matchup against the Kings, followed by a potential showdown against the loser of the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Lakers.
