Draymond burns Blazers: 'Of course I think they're done'

Jaime Valdez-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Draymond Green didn't mince any words following the Golden State Warriors' pivotal win in Game 4.

With two-time MVP Stephen Curry loudly announcing his return with a 40-point barrage, the Warriors snatched a thrilling 132-125 overtime victory away from the Blazers to return home with a 3-1 series lead.

And quite evidently, Green doesn't see any way for the Blazers to recover.

"Do I think they're done? Of course I think they're done," Green said flatly, according to ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss.

"If I don't think they're done, I don't know who else is going to think it? We're going home with a 3-1 lead. It's up to us to close it out. And I trust my teammates, I trust our team to come out ready to go and close this series out. Of course I think they're done. It's time for us to close the series."

Green would be singing a different tune had the game shifted the Blazers' way. After all, before Curry unleashed that 17-point bombardment in overtime, the Blazers nearly won in regulation. That would have set up a best-of-three.

But instead the Warriors saw Curry make his return, they re-asserted their dominance, and they left the Moda Center in utter dismay as the tides shifted in favor of the reigning champions, seemingly for good if you ask Green.

"That's a gut punch (the Blazers) caught tonight," Green added.
