The Golden State Warriors are in quite a situation. After starting out hot with a 12-3 and were the Western Conference's No. 1 seed through the first month of the season. But as quickly as they got the No.

Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green can see the light at the end of the tunnel. As the 2024-25 regular season winds down, Green doubled down on his championship prediction with Jimmy Butler in tow. Now, he says his team has activated into playoff mode for the final push before the NBA postseason.

On Sunday Butler completed his sixth game with the Warriors and scored 18 points to help lead the Dubs to a 24-point win over the Dallas Mavericks. Afterwards, Green explained why he felt the urge to tell the world the Warriors were guaranteed champions— and it all comes back to the team's newest member.
