The two Golden State Warriors leaders are not happy with the team’s defense
The Golden State Warriors suffered a terrible loss to a Memphis Grizzlies team missing almost all of their top players. After the game, Steph Curry and Draymond Green reportedly had an exchange in the locker room about how bad the team has been defensively.
During an episode of the Warriors Plus Minus Podcast, The Athletic’s Anthony Slater said, “And then in the locker room postgame, [Draymond Green] and Steph [Curry] were over there like, relatively loudly discussing how bad they’ve been defensively. Going through the numbers and talking about how bad they were when they were out and like they’re bottom-five, and discussing, ‘Oh wait, which teams are we better than? Like the Pistons, who else?’ And this is something that the locker room can hear them discussing.”
An elite defense is almost always a requirement for every championship team, and the Warriors are far from that standard right now, which Green and Curry recognize.
