Without Green is really a big loss to them. They lose the heart of GSW with that.
And aside from Draymond's absence, Steph Curry got injured too and unsure if he can play the next game. We have seen Warriors offensive firepower got weaken last year when Curry is out due to injury even with Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson on the floor.
Rockets are playing soooo bad, I can't believe it, they are incredibly horrible on offense and on defense. People keep blaming Melo but honestly even harden and Chris Paul sucks right now, there is absolutely no one in that team playing with a bit of heart.
That was because of Melo's curse. It's now spreaded to James Harden and Chris Paul. Just kidding lol.
Many people are expecting Rockets to be one of the dominating team in the league now following how they gave Golden State Warriors a difficult path to NBA finals last season. But turned out that they are back again from scratch.
What could be the reason? In my own view:
a) Trevor Ariza's spot
b) Jamers Harden not targeting a MVP or any record so he became less aggressive
c) Most of the teams today are improving on both offense and defense
