- The Golden State Warriors lost to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night.
- With a record of 19-53 prior to the game, the Magic are one of the NBA’s worst teams.
- Forward Draymond Green ripped the Warriors for their “soft” and “stupid” recent play.
Following Tuesday night’s loss to the 19-53 Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green ripped into the team’s performance.
Losing the game by a score of 94-90, Green — who had two points, seven assists, and three rebounds in the game — shredded the Warriors for their “soft” and “stupid” play, which has led to them losing three straight games.
The Warriors, of course, are without star point guard Stephen Curry, who’s currently sidelined with a sprained ligament in his left foot.
Draymond Green rips the Warriors for playing “soft” and “stupid”
“I think we’re playing soft, we’re playing stupid. We’re just not playing good basketball, we’re getting punked. It’s hard to win a game getting punked. That’s kind of where we are right now,” Green said to reporters during his postgame press conference.
“No disrespect to the Orlando Magic, but they are one of the worst teams in the league. And we can’t match up with them. And if you can’t match up with them, you’re definitely not going to do it against the great teams. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a concern, but that’s what’s happening. I don’t doubt that we can fix it, but if we’re going to win some games then it’s got to be fixed.”
