"If it doesn't work, then you kinda gotta get rid of your personal agenda."
"I can't tell you what that sacrifice might be for every individual, and it may be different for every individual."
"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."
"I've got to do a better job, I've got to find the keys that can get us back to getting some confidence and rhythm back."
Warriors veterans expressed concern after a 126-102 loss in Oklahoma City that highlighted too many individual agendas and not enough team sacrifice. Draymond Green urged players to subordinate personal agendas to team needs or abandon them. Jimmy Butler said every player may need to make different sacrifices. Steve Kerr pointed to declining energy and failure in fundamentals—turnovers, crashing the boards, creating good shots, and winning possession battles—and accepted coaching responsibility to restore confidence and rhythm. The team record sits at 6-6 after a 2-5 stretch following a 4-1 start.
