Warriors Star Reveals NBA Finals Prediction

In this story:
Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green revealed his NBA Finals prediction, and has the Denver Nuggets defeating the Miami Heat in five games.
"One key thing that Denver has done that's made me say Denver is ready to win a championship in this league - they have not f--ked around in any of their series," Green said. "They had opportunities to close, they closed, they getting it done. They're ready to win a championship, they're not messing around with these other teams. They're ready to win a championship. I got the Nuggets in five [against the Heat]."

Green also added that Denver has the inarguable best player in this series, which is always an advantage that becomes crucial in matchups like this. While Jimmy Butler has been playing at a high level this postseason, Nikola Jokic has been playing at a historic level on a nightly basis. Jokic's play this postseason has silenced any noise about his inability to thrive in a playoff setting, and four more wins would make that previous narrative look even worse.
With Denver being consistently dominant all regular season and all postseason, they look ready to win it all. Warriors star Draymond Green is going with Denver in five, citing their level of focus throughout this playoff run as the primary reason why they are ready to win it all.
