Draymond Green made a shocking statement after the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks. The unfortunate absence of Stephen Curry seemed to impact the team significantly, even though the loss was not by a large margin.
Following the team’s defeat, the Warriors’ center pointed out a series of mistakes that led to the loss. It seems that the 35-year-old player is fully aware of the aspects they need to improve as a franchise to enhance their performance on the court.
Green spoke honestly to his teammates
Draymond Green shared his thoughts on the team and their performance during the game. “We didn’t come out ready to play. It looked like we were going to be defensively beaten in the first quarter… We have to be better, and that starts with me. We were terrible defensively.”

“The guys didn’t get into the rhythm of the game. Once we do, we’ll be able to compete. We need to be ready for the upcoming matchups.” This served as a wake-up call for the entire team, including himself.” Draymond Green said.
After the Warriors’ performance against Atlanta, playoff hopes faded. The team lacked effort, technique, and coordination. “Tough luck. We put ourselves in a position to compete for something. There are 11 games left, everything to play for, and we can’t afford a loss like this. We should have won, given the opportunity we have right now,” Draymond Green said.
This reaction from the center is highly unusual, showing that he is truly concerned about the team. Now, they have the opportunity to recover and make the most of the remaining games, so they must adapt properly to maximize their performance.
