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.
