In this YouTube clip, Warriors forward Draymond Green addresses Golden State coach Ty Lue, explaining how the acquisition of Kevin Durant transformed the team's offense. Green describes how the presence of KD and Klay Thompson in the corners, combined with Stephen Curry’s ability to draw blitzes, forces opponents to switch or double‑team, opening up a cascade of options: spot‑up shots for KD, lob passes to Iguodala or Andre Iguodala, hand‑offs, and one‑on‑one opportunities for Klay. He outlines the sequence of defensive reactions—blitzing, switching, doubling—and how the Warriors exploit each to create open looks, ultimately making it “too hard” for opponents to contain the lineup.

We go sign KD. What's your reaction to that, T-Lou, when you see that? It's over. You blitz Steph and now you got Klay and KD on the weak side. You know, you short rolling, you got Iguodala for the lob, and you got Klay and KD in the corners. Like, it just became— Come on, dude. Yeah, it just became too hard. Then teams was like, oh, we gonna switch. And so we would run our stuff and either KD getting spot-up shots 'cause teams blitzing me and now I'm kicking to them or getting a lob to Draymond, or The team starts switching it and then we just get the ball to K and K go one-on-one. If you double— Everybody open. We hitting Steph. All right, so then they start doubling off me. You catching— And then that's where we start doing the handbacks. You throw it to me, I'm catching, I'm handing off, I'm catching, I'm faking, I'm going to the cup. I got Andre on the lob now. It all started with us getting K and then like, all right, y'all switch. Good luck.
