Draymond Green Turns Charles Barkley's Own Words Against Him in First Post After Round-1 Win

"Draymond isn't letting Chuck's pregame prediction slide ," NBCS Warriors wrote. 

The clip Green shared actually included a back-and-forth between Barkley and his "Inside the NBA" co-host Shaquille O'Neal.

"I think the Rockets are going to win tonight," Barkley said. "Steph [Curry] gonna be aggressive, but it's not gonna be enough. I'm guaranteeing the Rockets win tonight."

"Guarantee it, then" O'Neal challenged. 

"Oh, guarantee!" Barkley shouted in response. 

Green's only commentary came in the form of a two-word caption under the video. 

"Love Charles," Green wrote. 

Barkley wasn't the only Warriors' doubter after Golden State blew a 3-1 lead, losing by 15-point and eight-point margins, respectively, in Games 5 and 6. But the Warriors turned up the defensive pressure, and the Rockets -- who struggled for most of the series to score in the half-court game -- weren't able to execute their shot-making as effectively as they had over the previous two contests. 

The end result was an 89-point performance from Houston and a relatively comfortable 14-point win for the Warriors, which was perhaps the only time one could invoke the word "comfortable" to describe anything about the first-round series on Golden State's behalf. 

The team will now travel to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of their second round series on Tuesday night.
