Draymond Green said being down 2-0 in a series for the first time is “a new challenge” for a trio that’s seen just about everything over the years.

If Draymond Green is considered a forward on the All-Defense team as he has been in the past, O.G. Anunoby’s chances to make an All-Defense team this season aren’t looking good – 7:39 PM

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have never been in a 2-0 playoff hole. No team has been better than the Warriors following a playoff loss since that trio began their first postseason run nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 4:15 PM

Kevon Looney and the Warriors bottled up Domantas Sabonis and the Kings’ deadly dribble hand-off action in Game 1. That’s a pretty big storyline heading into Game 2.
Here’s a detailed look.

More on this storyline
Embiid was a force down low, particularly on the defensive end, as the Sixers superstar swatted away three blocks in 37 minutes of action. After seeing the box score, however, the six-time All-Star decided to take a dig at Jaren Jackson Jr.and the Memphis Grizzlies: “Only three blocks? Damn, I need the Memphis scorekeeper,” Embiid said after the game, via ClutchPoints on Twitter. -via Clutch Points / April 18, 2023

You’re close to a bunch of NBA players: Royce O’Neale, Taurean Prince, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Huerter and Domantas Sabonis, just to name a few. As someone who hangs out with a lot of these guys off the court, what’s the biggest misconception of NBA players? Austin J. Mills: I think that a lot of people forget that they’re just normal human beings. I think because they’re on TV and because they’re, like, these big figures in sports, people just kind of say whatever. And we laugh a lot of times because will look at their DMs or see the messages that they get of people, like, cussing them out, because they ruined their parlay (bet) or things like that. People don’t realize how nuts they would go if someone randomly DM’d them. Like, the average person, if someone else randomly DM’d them and was cussing them out, they would have a hissy fit. I think a lot of people forget and don’t realize that they’re just like normal people who live pretty normal lives and have families they’re trying to put food on the table for. -via The Athletic / April 17, 2023
