West Conf. Finals - Game 1: Golden State Warriors 119-106 Houston Rockets - Warriors' Player Ratings

Draymond Green - 7.5/10

Draymond Green

Stat line: 5 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 1-of-5 shooting

Another Warriors' player who played great but can play better in Game 2. It's pointless to look at the scoring or shooting numbers for reigning Defensive Player of the Year - Draymond Green. He makes his real impact in every stat category on the box score. When he dominates the other categories on the stat sheet, the Warriors are unstoppable.

He did just that in Game 1 and it's a huge reason why Golden State were able to register the win. Nobody wants Green to soften up or tone himself down because it's his energy and drive that gets the Warriors going. He needs to keep his emotions in check, however.

He got a technical very early in the game and then on, his reactions to every whistle should have been slightly toned down or at least aimed away from the referee otherwise he could have easily been thrown out of the game with a second technical.
