Draymond Green takes unnecessary shot at Golden State Warriors in his
return
Draymond Green return takes unnecessary shot Golden State Warriors
Against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, Draymond Green formally returned from suspension in what may turn out to
be a pivotal few weeks. Draymond’s comeback was wrecked by the inexperienced Grizzlies, as Memphis defeated the Golden
State Warriors 116-107.
As you would expect, the loss left a bad taste in the Warriors’ mouth. In what would end up being a surprise to no one, it was
Draymond who took the lead for the Warriors and addressed how disappointing the team’s effort was against one of the worst
teams in the league.
The Golden State Warriors continue to spiral into mediocrity
After the embarrassing loss, Draymond seemed to throw a completely unnecessary – but I guess, fair – shot at the team’s overall
effort (specifically on the defensive end of the floor). While this is not all that surprising, especially considering how much the
Warriors are struggling as a team at this point in the season, it is pretty unnecessary considering this was Draymond’s first
game back with the team.
It’s understandable that the Warriors losing to the injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies is pretty unacceptable, however, I’m not
sure this is the best look for Draymond. Coming off two suspensions already this season, he should not be jumping back into a
role where he’s criticizing the team. Even less so in the public light.
But, again, the frustration around this team has to be reaching historic levels. After losing to the Grizzlies, the Warriors are 18-
22 and 12th in the Western Conference standings. They now find themselves 2.5 games back of the 10th-seeded Los Angeles
Lakers and 5.5 games back of the 6th-seed.
If Golden State is going to salvage their season, they have to either snap out of this early-season funk soon. Either that, or they
have to make a pretty sizable move at the trade deadline that will completely retool their roster.
