Warriors' Draymond Green expects to play Celtics in NBA Finals, prompts 'we want Boston' chant

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green expects to play the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals beginning on June 2, and fans outside of Chase Center immediately bought into the hype that matchup would bring.

TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal prompted this response from Green after the Dubs’ Game 5 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, which punched the team’s ticket to the final round of the postseason. O’Neal was clear with his question: What team would Green and the Warriors like to play? The Golden State forward was careful at first, using his media savviness to navigate the question neutrally.
