The Warriors are rolling right now. Whether it's the Splash Brothers heating up from deep, or Draymond Green doing it, the Blazers have had no answers for them in the Western Conference finals.
And they're doing it all without Kevin Durant, the back-to-back NBA Finals MVP.
Without Durant, the Warriors are looking like the squad that won a ring and set a NBA record with 73 regular-season wins without him. None of that matters, though. When you can have one of the greatest to ever play the game on your team, you welcome him with wide open arms.
Draymond Green's mother, Mary Babers-Green, agrees.
The Warriors are doing what they have to do because they know what it feels like to make it to the end. It's a habit! Do we need @KDTrey5 HECK YEAH! We don't care who carry the load we just want the WIN! So, please stop y'all!!! & @boogiecousins too!— Mary B (@BabersGreen) May 19, 2019

Like mother, like son.
With Durant rehabbing a strained right calf in the Warriors' last four games, all wins, Draymond has averaged 14 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. Don't tell him the Warriors are better without KD, though.
"That's idiotic," Green said to The Athletic's Tim Kawakami Thursday after the Warriors' 114-111 win in Game 2 over the Blazers. "It's very idiotic. I don't think there's one person in this locker room, one person in this organization that thinks that. And I know for damn sure that any idiot that does possibly (say) it don't believe it."

Durant will miss Game 4 on Monday. A Warriors win would give them a sweep and well over a week of rest before the NBA Finals begin on May 30.
