Draymond Green recently received his fourth ejection of this season, during the game against the Magic. Although Green’s ejection is debatable, as many believe it is the fault of the referees, people are pointing the finger at Stephen Curry and Chris Paul for failing to keep their players in check. Recently, Paul Pierce, in the ‘INDISPUTABLE’, talked about the Warriors star and explored the responsibility on the Warriors team.
Pierce believed that as veteran players and players who are also widely respected, the responsibility of keeping Green in check for the team falls on players like Steph and CP3. Celtics legend said Steph is the green person “greetings” The best thing is that if you intervene and try to calm him down, it might work. He said,
“This is not a knock against Steph Curry, his leadership,” but he should have tried to stop Green after he received the first technical foul in the opening minutes of the game.
Pierce said that Chris Paul should also be responsible for these things on the court since he has been a leader in the NBA for a long time. Another problem Pierce has with this team is the lack of accountability.
He said,
“These guys need to show up and hold each other accountable. You know Draymond, you know what he is like, you can help him. If not, he will move on.” Pierce said if the Warriors star doesn’t get his act together, the team will suffer bigger losses in the future. Although The Truth questioned Steph’s decision at the time, HC Kerr defended the sharpshooter after the match.
Steve Kerr defended Stephen Curry and his leadership
It’s a no-brainer that this is Steph’s team, if they win his reputation will benefit the most and if they lose he will be the one people will question. That’s exactly what’s happening to him after Green’s recent outburst on the court in the first few minutes of the game.
While everyone is looking for an opportunity to hold Steph accountable for all of this, coach Steve Kerr doesn’t think Steph needs to take care of one of his players to keep this team together.
During a recent appearance at ‘95.7 The Game’ radio station, Kerr said, “Draymond knows he’s a grown man. He has to mind his own business. Any mention of Steph being guilty is simply ridiculous.
The way Steph has run our franchise represented our franchise for 15 years. “It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Although Kerr is against handing over all responsibility to Steph, it is not a bad proposal because Green respects his partner as his brother. And in the heat of the moment, if Curry could control the veteran forward, he would save them the trouble of playing without Green.
