Draymond Green just wants to see some good basketball.
The Golden State Warriors forward admitted to having a difficult time watching the Cleveland Cavaliers this postseason, saying the lack of competition in the Eastern Conference has made their games "boring."
"I thought teams would compete a little harder," Green told Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group. "I just watched San Antonio-(Houston). I like to watch good basketball. When you watch Cleveland play, you only watching one side of good basketball. That’s kind of weak. I like watching a good game, not even necessarily that it’s going to be a close game. I like to watch teams playing good basketball. When you watch them, you watch one team playing good basketball and everybody else just…do something. I don’t know what that something is."
The Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors failed to put a scare into the Cavaliers, as both squads bowed out in four games during their respective series against Cleveland.
While Green's Warriors may be in a similar situation to the Cavaliers, having gone up 3-0 in their second-round matchup against the Jazz, the 27-year-old commended Utah for its ability to remain competitive.
"But Utah is still playing good basketball," Green said. "Regardless if they win or not, I think we’re a better team, but at the same time, they still play a good brand of basketball."
The Warriors will try to go for their second consecutive series sweep on Monday night, when they face the Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
