Golden State Warriors’ forward Draymond Green has never been one to hold back, allowing him to have a blossoming media career even while his team heads to its sixth NBA Finals appearance in eight years. 

Green told the "Inside the NBA" crew Thursday night Golden State would be facing Boston in the NBA Finals.

Following Golden State’s 120-110 Game 5 win over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals Thursday night, Green was asked by "Inside the NBA" analyst Shaquille O'Neal who he would prefer to face in the Finals since the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics are still vying for the Eastern Conference crown. 

As usual, Green was blunt, telling Shaq who Golden State would be facing rather than who Green would prefer to face.

"I think both teams are tough," Green said after Game 5. "Boston causes problems, especially offensively. Their defense is incredible.

"If you’re asking me who I want to play, I’m gonna tell you who I think we’re gonna play," Green continued. "We’re gonna play Boston. That’s who we gonna play."
