Again! Like a year ago, Draymond Green is forced to apologize to his teammates. This time, he didn’t hit a teammate in training, but he wanted to strangle Rudy Gobert in the middle of a match.
The NBA sanctioned him with a five-game suspension, and according to The Athleticthe interior All-Star apologized to the group.
Our colleagues report that Draymond Green “showed remorse” and that he explained to his teammates “that his intentions were sincere (protecting his teammate)” but he recognized “that he had gone too far. »
A big lack in attack and defense
“We support him, and we will hold on until he comes back” warns Gary Payton II, while Kevon Looney reminds how the absence of Draymond Green is detrimental on both sides of the field. In the defeat against the Thunder, the Joe-Giddey duo scored 10 out of 10 from 3-point range. The fault lies in missing or incorrect rotations.
“Through his voice, he helps us a lot in making adjustments. When things aren’t going well, being one of the smartest players in the league, when he sees things, he’s able to adapt and say to the coach, ‘We should do this instead. that’. And we adapt” says Kevon Looney. “That’s how he gets things done.” He can also do everything himself on the pitch, when he sees things happening. It fixes a lot of errors. I think we missed him a lot. And then, it sets the rhythm. When things are not going well, when we are not able to score, he gives rhythm and allows players to have open shots and other players to have good situations. »
This evening, the Warriors find the Thunder, still at home, and we will see if they have found solutions to end this series of five defeats in a row. The good news is that Stephen Curry has returned to training, and could therefore return to the field.
