"The team has too many individual goals, and not enough of them include doing the things the Warriors need to win. You have to make the personal agenda work in the team confines, Draymond Green said from the podium. If it doesn't work, then you kinda gotta get rid of your personal agenda. Green did not specify who possessed said personal agendas after the first game of a six-game road trip that will take the team to San Antonio next."
"Head coach Steve Kerr noted that the Warriors (6-6) is not playing with the same reckless energy it did to end last season, adding that the team has not played well outside of the first two weeks of the season. Taking care of the ball, crashing, creating good shots for each other, winning the possession battle, we're not doing any of those things right now, Kerr said, before shifting blame to himself."
The Warriors lost 126-102 in Oklahoma City and veterans emphasized too many individual agendas disrupting team cohesion. Draymond Green said players must make personal agendas work within team confines or abandon them. Jimmy Butler said every player may need to sacrifice something, and responsibilities differ by individual. The team stands 6-6 after going 2-5 following a 4-1 start. Head coach Steve Kerr said the team lacks the reckless energy from late last season and listed failures in taking care of the ball, crashing, creating good shots and winning possession battles. The Warriors committed 21 turnovers, 18 in the first three quarters.
