Golden State Warriors: Four Takeaways from First Round Game One Win

The Golden State Warriors won Game 1 in First Round of Playoff and the game suggested some food for thought:

1. Draymond Green deserves to be the Defensive Player Of the Year. The game with the Portland Trial Blazers showed the forward as the leader of the Golden State Warriors. His night: 19 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 blocks. Two of those blocks, against Lillard and Vonleh, made Oracle Arena erupt. The numbers on the defensive side said he grabbed 30.4 percent of the rebounds when he was on the court, while during last year’s playoffs, the average was 23.
