Draymond: Cavs-Warriors is definitely a rivalry

Everyone disagrees with LeBron James on this one.

The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers clearly don't like one another, and with a third Finals showdown likely on the horizon, the two teams have been in direct opposition when it comes to the title.

They're clearly rivals and Draymond Green reiterated that point after the Warriors took an emphatic 126-91 victory over the Cavs on Monday.

"Yeah I think it's a rivalry. Just me though," Green said. "It's definitely fun. A team that you beat and beat you. It's definitely fun.

"You look at the last two years and this year, we've been the top two teams in the league each year. I look at it as a rivalry and it's definitely a fun game to play in, but I don't really care if anyone sees the game as how I see it."

The latest exchange in their growing rivalry saw Green mock James after tackling him to stop a fast break. They certainly looked very much like rivals with no shortage of animosity on that play.
