Many were confused and frustrated by the Golden State Warriors after their recent loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.
They were particularly upset in the final quarter of the game when the defending champions made some poor shots and gave up the ball several times.
Warrior icon Draymond Green stands by his friends and stands up for their choices.
He also says that defeating the team rests on everyone’s shoulders, not just Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
“This is on all of us,” Green said on his podcast, as shared by The Volume.
“I deal with the same people I rode with”

The biggest complaints against the team after Monday night were that Curry gave up too many turnovers, Thompson’s three-point attempts were ill-advised, and Jordan Paul was irresponsible on the court.
But Green isn’t listening to any of that.
Instead, he says he will always go strong with this core and the only team he has ever played for.
The Warriors are certainly in a bad spot right now, and no team wants to be in a 3-1 hole.
They have to win every game against the Lakers from now on or their season is over and they won’t be the defending champions anymore.
Coming back from 3-1 is incredibly difficult but this is a time-tested team that has beaten the odds before.
Will they be able to overcome such a frightening deprivation?
If only they did a lot better than they did in the fourth quarter on Monday.
