Draymond Green recognizes that the other team is in trouble
Here’s the San Francisco Chronicle with a fun Warriors item on the challenge of going against them:

Draymond Green feels sorry for opposing defenses when the Warriors go small.
Would they try to switch to a bigger defender when Golden State runs a pick and roll for Stephen Curry?
“Good luck with that,” Green said, chuckling, after practice Thursday.
Keep two guys on Curry?
“That opens me up to make plays with three other shooters around,” Green said. “That’s three-on-two. It’s tough for teams to defend.”
While Green is having a breakthrough season offensively, it’s the 6-foot-7 forward’s ability to defend from the center position when the Warriors go small that has everybody excited. Golden State has gone with the smaller lineup more often recently, and it worked again in Wednesday night’s comeback win over the Bucks.
