Draymond Green says the Warriors laughed at Jason Terry's guarantee
Jason Terry went out on a limb as the Rockets faced elimination against the Golden State Warriors before Game 5. The veteran guard guaranteed that the Rockets, which lost Game 4 despite Steph Curry suffering another injury, would send the series back to Houston.
"I'm guaranteeing it," Terry said Tuesday. "If I don't, then what? It's a loss, right. I guarantee victory -- that's what it's going to take. I believe in my group. I know we can get a win here and send this thing back to Houston."
Well, the Rockets lost by 33 points with Curry still on the bench, and Terry went scoreless as the Warriors advanced to the semifinals. So what did some of the Warriors think of Terry's guarantee?
According to Draymond Green, the defending champs got a good chuckle out of it.
"My teammates and I laughed about it," Green told ESPN. "I actually screenshot Jet's guarantee quote and put it in the group chat. I said, 'You see this mess?' It wasn't like we needed the bulletin board material. We were coming out here to close it out, anyway. Everybody was like, 'Really? All right. Let's get it. Let's go.' It was exciting, but the way we really closed this series out says a lot about this team."
Terry has made guarantees before. He got a tattoo of the Larry O'Brien trophy before the 2010-11 season while playing for the Mavericks. Dallas would go on to upset the Heat to win the franchise's first title.
But this one didn't go as planned for the 38-year-old guard who know has the entire offseason to see where it all went wrong.
