DALLAS -- Ann Neuhaus, a Saginaw, Michigan, native who retired and moved to Denton, Texas, couldn't contain her glee. Her daughter, Julie Tredemeyer, got her the best Christmas present her heart could handle: tickets to the Warriors-Mavericks game.
She might have been the only one in the arena wearing a Draymond Green jersey."I just know Draymond's going to have a big game," she said, holding a cutout of Green's face on a stick. "Steph Curry isn't playing, but I have no doubt Draymond will pull it out for us."Bless her heart. The Warriors just don't work that way.Green's particular brilliance aside, the Warriors are not a historical juggernaut without Curry.Thompson: Warriors find out how much they need Curry
