Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green recently expressed a controversial opinion that might trigger some New York Knicks fans. The Warriors forward called the Knicks a weaker team and predicted that the Sixers would beat them in their upcoming playoff series.
“We know the reality the New York Knicks are way easier to beat than the Boston Celtics. Infact, I got the feeling that the Philadelphia 76ers are beating the New York Knicks because who’s gonna stop Joel (Embiid)? Joel took over every play down the stretch vs the Miami Heat. The Miami heat which we know probably would beat the Knicks too but that neither here nor there,” said Green on the Draymond Green podcast.

Green believes that the Knicks are currently weaker than the Philadelphia 76ers. He states that the Sixers will be the victorious team when the two teams compete. He also raises the matter of Joel Embiid’s return and how hard it will be for the Knicks to stop him. Furthermore, Green also states that the Miami Heat would have probably beaten the Knicks as well.
Draymond Green’s statements are triggering for some Knicks fans as they can be considered a bit disrespectful towards the franchise. However, he has a point. The Celtics are one of the top five teams in the league right now, and compared to them, the Knicks appear to be weak.
