The Warriors will face the Celtics on Thursday for a re-play of last year’s NBA Finals. Draymond Green received lots of trash talking from the Boston fans last year and is prepared for the same this season.

He is not going to engage in a word fight with them, but instead plans to smile. “I’ll greet them with a nice smile,” Green said, via Kendra Andrews of ESPN. “Just as I did after we won the championship.”

This season the Celtics are on the way to another strong year as they sit atop the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Warriors have been struggling and are just in the seventh place in the West.
