Draymond Green reportedly went on a rant during halftime in the Golden State Warriors’ locker room, saying, “I’m not a robot.”
The Golden State Warriors were frustrated going into the locker room at halftime as they were trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder by 11 points. Wanting to win this Western Conference showdown, they aimed to fix things at halftime so that they could come out strong in the third quarter.
But the locker room appeared to be less than productive.
Draymond Green, according to a sideline report form Lisa Salters, went on a “profanity-laced tirade” exclaiming to his teammates, “I am not a robot.” Green missed all of his shots in the first half and finished with no points contributed to the game. He did have six assists.
Salters said she didn’t know what sparked the tirade, but it was likely a player addressing that Green was taking bad shots and not making them, because Green threatened to not shoot for the entire rest of the game within the rant. He then threatened his teammates to come and sit him down themselves if they wanted him to sit down.
This is definitely not a good look for Green and the Warriors, who have kept their cool all season. Salters was only able to hear this occur because Green was being so loud with his words, as she wasn’t actually in the locker room, but observing from outside of the locker room.
This report comes after Stephen Curry admitted today that he is frustrated with people criticizing and comparing the team to past NBA teams and legends. The recent happenings seem to be showing us that the team we thought was perfect isn’t all peaches and cream all the time, and that even the Golden State Warriors have to work things out at times too.
