Steve Kerr, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry declare a state of emergency

The Warriors are back-to-back, and tonight they will travel to New Orleans to avoid a 5th straight loss. Fallen to 12th place in the Western Conference, just ahead of the Lakers, the teammates of Stephen Curry have still not won a single away game, and the most worrying thing is the way. Like last night in Orlando, the defense is absolutely not there, and despite Steve Kerr’s numerous warnings, the substitutes do not bring any energy to the group.

“We’re going to have to make some adjustments and some changes” announces the Golden State coach. “We are in nine matches. We have a correct vision of the combinations, and it’s time to try something else. »

“We have guys who are dying to be on the pitch”

Will he change his starting five? A priori not because he has not much to reproach him. This night, the holders have several times given 10 to 16 points in advance. But as soon as the rotations start, disaster strikes.

“Everyone will have a chance to play” warns Kerr. “We have guys who are dying to be on the pitch. We have to find formulas that work. We will discuss it with the staff and we will find. »

On what we see since this “road trip”, it is James Wiseman who should bear the brunt of these changes. The young pivot, as talented and athletic as he is, is a drag on his team. In his place, we should therefore see more Jonathan Kuminga, glued to the bench since the start of the season. Provided that he made the effort in training since Kerr reproached him for his lack of involvement.

“Yes, it is the fault of the young people. But it’s no more their fault than ours.”

For its part, Draymond Green puts everyone in the same basket, no pun intended. He considers himself as much at fault as the substitutes, or the youngsters. Everyone has their responsibilities.

“I’m not going to sit here and point fingers or point fingers at our young people. That’s not how we operate.” explains Green. “They have to learn, they have to understand. So yeah, actually, it’s kind of their fault. It is certainly partly the fault of our young people. But it’s also a bit of my fault, a bit of Steph’s fault and a bit of Klay’s fault. It’s all of our fault. We are not playing at the level necessary to win games. I am going to change the substance of my answer: Yes, it is the fault of the young people. But it’s no more their fault than ours. »

“We don’t want to be crazy and keep doing the same thing expecting different results”

For the whole group, losing so many matches so early in the season is unprecedented. Last season, the Warriors had waited for the 30th game to suffer their 6th defeat. It’s a new experience, and you have to take it as such.

“We have been used to learning by winning” notes Stephen Curry. “We find ways to get out of it even when it’s not going well, and you create automatisms… But we haven’t been in this position for a while with the awareness that we have to play better and that we are losing. The impression is simply not good, all along the line. We don’t want to be crazy and keep doing the same thing hoping for different results, but we have to pull ourselves together and understand that everyone in this dressing room has to find a solution. That’s what the job requires. We are aware of it. It’s just hard right now to play, to continue to give it your all, to realize that our energy and our efforts were there and that you have no results to show. »
