Draymond Green says "losed a matchup" vs Julius Randle, saying that only NBA players have done it against him in the playoffs before

Draymond Green made an interesting revelation in his latest podcast episode with Baron Davis.

The four-time champion season ended when the Golden State Warriors lost Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a conference cicada.

Dub didn’t have the series star player Steph Curry when he collapsed in Game 1 with a hamstring injury.

The Timberwolves had more physical and mental advantages than them, so it would always be tough for the warrior to win from above.

Draymond Green also failed to introduce his best against the Timberwolves.

However, T-Wolf had one player.

Julius Randle was great for the Timberwolves throughout the playoffs, but he improved his performance in the series with the Warriors.

He averaged 25.2 ppg, 7.4 APG and 6.6 RPG, shooting 53.3% off the field.

These are incredible numbers, especially against players like Green, one of the best defenders in the league.

Warriors legend revealed that it was the second time in his career that he lost a matchup in the playoffs.

Green said: “The only other playoff series I’ve lost a matchup like that, I didn’t dominate the matchup completely. I feel that the other series I feel in my career that I really feel I’ve lost a matchup really.

The Raptors won the first-ever championship by beating the Warriors 4-2, and Pascalciacam did well to make the Green better, shooting 50.5% off the field with an average of 19.8 ppg.

Green said he admitted that he was very similar to Randle, losing to a Timberwolves player.

“Julius was incredible and he played great basketball. Honestly, some of the shots he was taking were some of the shots we wanted him to take, and he made them.”

Randle learned a lot from Kobe Bryant during his time with La Lakers. His shot-making abilities are elite, and much of this comes from the work he put in.

Rudy Gobert recently revealed how Randle works in his game, and hard work has emerged during this series.

The Timberwolves are the side led by Anthony Edwards, but Randle is the leader of the locker room where the team can learn a lot.

It’s special to receive compliments from players on Green’s Caliber, and it’s proof of how amazing the three-time All-Stars are.

On his podcast, Green shared the story of his first meeting with Julius Randle and how the two have been fighting ever since.

“We’ve been playing these fights since JU entered the league and obviously this is the first one at the playoff level, but I had to give him that, he made me better.

“Respectfully, I’m not a guy hiding from the truth, he was a tough cover and one of the tougher covers I had in the playoff series,” Green added.
