Anonymous GSW Player: "we've got problems and it ain't basketball."

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

While a guest on ESPN.com’s True Hoops Podcast, Ethan Strauss elaborated on a little tidbit concerning the Warriors having issues that have nothing to do with basketball, and more about lockerroom incohesion.

“Is this malaise of theirs about not feeling motivated, not thinking they have something to play for,” said Strauss on the True HoopPod. “Is it just being tired? There’s one guy in particular on the team that keeps saying the same thing to me, and I can’t say who he is, but he keeps saying ‘We’ve got problems and it ain’t basketball.'”

“The Luke Walton question is an interesting one. I think what happened with Luke Walton in some ways speaks to some of the issues this team has where his success undermined Kerr’s authority,” said Strauss. “They played the best basketball they ever had when Kerr was not coaching the team, when Luke was letting them do a lot of what they really wanted and Draymond (Green) was essentially player-coach and that has ratcheted up the tension, I believe, between those two figures. And so it’s so hard to say. Is it because they miss Luke Walton? Or Luke Walton’s presence on the team and the success that came with it came to haunt them in some way.”

Warriors Player Says The Team Has Problems And It Ain't Basketball | BSO

leader of men Steve Kerr

Can't be nobody but Draymond saying that...nikka mad he ain't the player-coach anymore.

Nah I have no idea, but they'd like to wanna get their 702 on and:

 

[Randoug]

Most likely its Klay but it has everything to do with basketball, particularly the signing of Durant and the dismantling of the bench they had last season.

 

[Loose]

too man hoe nikkas in the locker room id guess

 

[Edub]

Maybe a lil fake news here....much as I'd like to see an implosion....media always kicks dogs when they're down.....once KD comes back it'll be all rainbows again. In this facet (only) I'm rooting for GS....fugg the media

Most likely its Klay but it has everything to do with basketball, particularly the signing of Durant and the dismantling of the bench they had last season.

Now this I can buy....and I'm sure Dray and crew blame Kerr for being behind the GM in letting go of that bench ..........




But they were yes men too tho sooo....

Yet he didn't deny the report either

 

[ALonelyDad]

I dont think Draymond is the type to go and speak behind the back, maybe he is the problem but he is definitely not speaking behind the scenes

 

[Vilify]

How is Luke doing in LA?

I think a lot of it is basketball too. Kerr plays idiotic lineups (starting an absolute bum McCaw), drafts or signs off on drafting absolute bums (Mcadoo, Mccaw, Damian Jones), takes the ball out of steph's hands and makes him a 2 guard, subs Javale McGee out after he makes good plays, etc. it's no secret the warriors played better under Walton because he played to their strengths.

Kerr does a lot of goofy things trying to prove his system outweighs the talent which is obviously not true as we've seen with KD out. All that stuff weighs on a locker room. Picture walking out for the opening jump looking at Patrick McCaw next to you because your coach thinks he's the smartest guy in the room
