Draymond Green’s Bold Exclusion of Timberwolves from Western Conference Contenders
Draymond Green’s growing disdain for the Minnesota Timberwolves has reached new heights as the NBA season kicks off. Just a week in, the Golden State Warriors forward has made it clear where he stands, and the Timberwolves are not in his sights.
Warriors’ Strong Start Sets the Stage
The Warriors have started the season with a solid 3-1 record, and Green took to his podcast, *The Draymond Green Show*, to share his insights on the Western Conference landscape. Addressing listeners on Tuesday, he emphasized the fierce competition brewing in the West, referring to it as a potential “bloodbath” as teams vie for supremacy.
A Select Few Are Contenders
In his assessment, Green outlined the teams he believes are true contenders. “When I look at the conference, I think the true contenders are OKC, yours truly the Dubs… Denver… and then I think you gotta look at both LA teams,” he stated, clearly favoring these franchises over the Timberwolves.
With such a narrow view of the competition, Green’s comments reflect his long-standing rivalry with Minnesota, showcasing a pattern of disregard that has characterized his remarks in previous seasons.
As the season unfolds, the Timberwolves will undoubtedly feel motivated to prove their worth in a conference Green seems all too eager to dismiss.
