The Golden State Warriors seem to have a pretty bleak future in the 2022-23 season. The team currently sits in ninth position in their Conference and is missing their superstar Stephen Curry due to injury. Their woes continued on Tuesday night as they were handed their 29th loss of the season by the Los Angeles Clippers. There are a lot of problems plaguing the Dubs, but the primary one seems to be defensive structure. In the post-game press conference, Warriors star Draymond Green talked about the team’s defensive woes, only to irk the fans a little bit more.
Fans are understandably not pleased with the Warriors’ performances for the season. Additionally, the recent press conference after the game by Green has raised eyebrows among the Dubs fandom.

The recent loss against the Los Angeles Clippers was just another frustrating day for the Warriors and their fans. The team has been astonishingly average this season and seems like they’ve run out of ways to explain their persistent failure.
Draymond Green tried to help the case with his assessment on the team in the post-game press conference. However, it seems like fans weren’t impressed as they proceeded to call him out on Twitter. Fans didn’t like Green’s answers as they were vague and couldn’t clearly spot the root of the problem. One would think that after winning four championship titles, the Warriors star would have more insight into the issues.

The Warriors’ no. 23 looked agitated with the team, and their performances for the season certainly give him reason to. However, he also seemed to take self-accountability regarding the Dubs’ defensive woes. At the start of the season, Green was surrounded by controversies and rumors. The star was rumored to be exiting the team, and the teams’ current campaign might help him make his decision.
