Thompson: Green-less Warriors havs Cavs right where they want them

OAKLAND -- The one constant in the Warriors' record 88 wins this season has not been Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson. Not even Steve Kerr or 3-point shooting or lockdown defense showed up for every victory.

The constant has been Draymond Green. And that says a lot about the Warriors' NBA forward, reputed as the heart of the team and a major impact on both ends.But the Warriors will go for win No. 89 without him, as Green has been suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. And that says a lot about the Warriors' all-star, the live-on-the-edge player who supplements his skill with emotion and edginess.
