Richard Jefferson’s comments to Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green echo the sentiments of NBA fans worldwide and certainly fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Green, who said that he finds the Cleveland Cavaliers’ postseason run boring because the Cavs’ opponents aren’t competing hard enough, has found his comments met with laughter. Not like “laughing with you” laughter. “Laughing at you” laughter.
Jefferson rightly pointed out the Golden State Warriors have benefited quite a bit from facing teams when they weren’t at full strength. In the 2014-2015 season, when the Warriors won the NBA title, they had the benefit of playing the Memphis Grizzlies sans Mike Conley in Game 6, an elimination game for the Grizzlies.
