Every single time i watch Draymond Green I just think "Way to Fab Melo Danny Ainge. Way to Fab Melo."

Listen I get some people don't like Green because of his attitude.

But man would I kill to have someone with his attitude, one that also translates well into his game. Crowder is the closest I can think of on this Celtics team with a similar fighting attitude.

Smart?

I definitely see the comparison.

If Smart can score a bit more and improve his jumper then definitely. For now not really.

We will say the same if we get Bender.

Not against Bender but there are better players available at #3 than him.

Lol, TP ;D.  With that in mind, who can't wait for the draft (sarcasm)? ::)

Ezeli isn't worth 17+M/Year but the Lakers are rumored to offer that once July 1 hits.

Smart has the potential to get there, but he's not anywhere near there yet.

I was just meaning the type of fire, emotion, and determination that Green plays with. I see a ton of similarity between the two, though obviously Green is much better right now.

If I'm Cleveland I would be thinking there is no way Green drops another 22 on you in the 2nd half. If you keep Curry and Thompson in check, you should be able to stay in this until the end and steal it. That's all they can ask for on a game 7 on the road against a team that won 73 games.

Agreed. That's what I love about Smart. Hopefully if we take Jaylen Brown he has that similar fire.

Yep very true. Crowder is close too.

So what are people's predictions the rest of way?

I predict Warriors win 105-92. Warriors pull away late.

Ezeli has killed them with the missed chances down low tonight.
