The 2022 NBA Finals saw the clash between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Despite predictions favoring Boston as a challenging opponent for Golden State, Steph Curry and his team proved too formidable for the Celtics to contend with.
While Golden State is always a contender for the championship, their performance this season has not consistently reflected that status. Conversely, Boston has dominated the league throughout the year and is widely seen as the Eastern Conference favorites.
During a guest appearance on NBA on TNT, Jaylen Brown of the Celtics and Draymond Green of the Warriors joined the Inside the NBA crew as analysts. When prompted to praise each other, Green and Brown exchanged compliments. Brown acknowledged Green’s impactful presence on the court, stating that his contributions were crucial to the Warriors’ championship victories. He also mentioned that during their previous Finals encounter, Green’s intensity caught them off guard, but this time, the Celtics would be prepared for it.
"I appreciate you man. That's not bad!" 😂🤣

At this juncture, Golden State’s prospects for a Finals appearance may seem slim. However, it’s not entirely implausible for them to undergo a transformation akin to what Boston experienced in 2022.
