The Warriors are NBA Finals-bound for the sixth time in the last eight seasons and forward Draymond Green opened up about those two years that his team didn’t make the Finals. Those two seasons, 2019–20 and 2020–21, Golden State failed to even make the playoffs.
When asked what his darkest day was by Andscape’s Marc J. Spears, Green recalled that two-year time-frame and last season’s loss to the Lakers in the play-in tournament.
“I think not making the playoffs last year,” he said. “Because the bubble season, at that point I had already moved on mentally from that [2019–20] season. I was not tripping about not being in the bubble. I was with my family, it was incredible. But I think last year, really after losing that play-in to the Lakers, that was a dark day.”
