The intense energy with which the Golden State Warriors started the season—winning 12 of their first 15 games—has sharply declined. They now hold a mediocre record of 16-16 after losing four out of their last five matches. This downturn has fueled frustration among fans, with many calling for change, including the dismissal of certain staff. Draymond Green shares these sentiments.
Tensions are rising both in the locker room and during games. A viral clip showed veteran Draymond Green criticizing his new teammate, Buddy Hield. After the game, Green harshly expressed that if the team fails to start winning again, trades may be unavoidable. He emphasized the need for victories, stating, “We need to win games, or we’ll all get traded.”
Green’s remarks are particularly striking given his willingness to play the center position this season to enable teammate Jonathan Kuminga to play as a power forward. Similarly, Steve Kerr expressed his views following the unexpected firing of former Coach of the Year, Mike Brown. Kerr’s comments, however, faced backlash on social media, with fans calling for his removal and a reinstatement of Brown.
In his remarks about Brown’s firing, Kerr acknowledged that the NBA has its ups and downs and expressed gratitude for coaching a team that values stability and allows for tough times to be weathered. He noted, “I’m fortunate to work with an organization that values continuity, although I know it might not last forever.”
Despite this, Warriors fans remain unsatisfied, voicing their disappointment over the team’s performance over the past three years. Many fans even questioned why Mike Brown was let go while Kerr remains in charge.
Home fans can be unforgiving during slumps, often overlooking the behind-the-scenes challenges. The Warriors have struggled to find their rhythm due to injuries and adjustments in the roster. Their next game is against the Philadelphia 76ers, who are facing their own difficulties.
