The history between Green and Williams, as well as between Green and the Suns players, has created an interesting, if not unique, dynamic for the first-round series. Green not only knows how Williams and his roster operate, but he also brought with him to New Orleans much of Williams’ structure and playbook. “This series is like you know everything about them, and they know everything about you,” Green said. “We are going to be throwing haymakers, and they are going to be throwing them back. And it’s just going to be exciting. But I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
