On the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show,” Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green discusses the upcoming Western Conference Semifinals series between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Previewed and predicted how the series would turn out.
Below is a clip of the prediction provided by his show's production company, Volume Sports.
“I let Dallas win this series by five, six at most.”

“In fact, we could have beaten Dallas in five (games), six games at most, in this series,” Green continued. The reason I let Dallas win like that is because I don't think OKC is big enough for Dallas. Dallas has length, you look at P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford, Luka (Doncic), OKC has length, but I think their mostly physicality in this series is going to be the difference. ”
Draymond also says Kyrie Irving is the best No. 2 option the team could have and wonders if Jaylen Williams will be called upon to guard Irving.
The Thunder won the season series 3-1, but Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving only played together in one game, which the Mavericks won by 35 points in February. We've seen ESPN be divided on this series, and Shaquille O'Neal picked the Thunder to “win easily,” so he's one of the few people willing to take the risk to give Dallas an easy win.
