Get this: The Warriors respect the Clippers.
On the verge of Thursday’s game between the Warriors and Clippers - one of the league’s best current rivalries - Warriors power forward Draymond Green said his team respects the Clippers, but that doesn’t he likes their players.
“We always want to beat them, and they always want to beat us,” Green said after Wednesday’s practice. “… There’s definitely more respect than people think, but it’s also no secret that we don’t like them and they don’t like us. That has nothing to do with respect. We respect them, and I think they respect us.
