As we have approached the midway point of the 2022-23 season, fans and analysts have started making their predictions on the Finals. On, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith revealed some huge and somewhat surprising names on the latest episode of ‘The Draymond Green Show.’
Stephen A. Smith was firm in stating his favorite teams – Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, Brooklyn Nets, and Golden State Warriors. The 55-year-old candidly told Draymond Green how he expected more output from some of the players in his team, and that they have a lot of ground to catch up on in the second half of the regular season.
When Draymond asked Stephen A. Smith about his predictions for the 2023 NBA Finals, he responded by saying, “The Golden State Warriors vs. The Brooklyn Nets. My prediction I don’t think is looking that bad right now. See I’m not worried about y’all the way everybody else is and so my attitude is if you can win at home, you’ll figure out how to win on the road. That damn Klay Thomspon and I say that damn Klay Thompson because you know I love me some Klay Thompson.
Golden State Warriors certainly have the squad depth to make another valid bid for the championship but injury and inconsistent performances have been haunting them so far this season.
Green added, “I think Klay Thompson’s one of the top five shooters in the history of basketball, and this brother, you know, over the last three games averaging 25. He looks like the Klay I know and love. I don’t know what the hell was going on within the previous 17-18 games, I’m like what the hell is that. Jordan Poole, I believe in him. I expected more from Wiseman, I expected more from Kuminga and Moody.”
