“Lack of Professionalism Is Once Again on Full Display”: Warriors Fans Lash Out at Draymond Green for ‘Leaving the Game’ Early

The Warriors have officially turned their season around again. They are now the 6th-ranked seed in the Western Conference even without Stephen Curry. The re-emergence of Klay Thompson has been a blessing for them despite struggling with many injuries.

In their most recent game, however, the lack of Klay on the active roster proved detrimental to their ongoing success. They have now lost two back-to-back games, this time to the Orlando Magic by quite a margin. The humiliating loss was difficult on the entire squad and fans.

But it was perhaps most difficult for Draymond Green who left for the locker room even before the game was over. Apparently, the 6ft 6″ forward left the game with 40 seconds still left on the clock. This wasn’t too well received by the GSW fans.

Warriors fans lash out at Draymond Green

Draymond’s attitude following the loss to Magic did not sit too well with the team’s fan community. They called him out for behaving unprofessionally. Some fans also called him out for his poor leadership amid the lack of both Klay and Stephen Curry.

Draymond a big part of the problem, he needs to be a scoring threat for us to win without Steph and Klay. Mans got to used to doing nothing offensively

Dude wants to be like LeBron so bad that he’s even walking off the court before the final buzzer in a lost. Sad and pathetic. https://t.co/6IpEY0nSZi

Green has performed poorly this season

With Steph and Klay out, today was the day Draymond should have stepped up as a leader and led his team. Instead, he left the court early even before the game clock stopped. This shows how frustrated he probably is at the moment.

In all fairness, Draymond has no right to feel frustrated with his teammates’ performance considering how he has also not performed satisfactorily. Both his total number of assists and rebounds have fallen since last season. Moreover, Draymond needed to step up offensively but failed to do so.

Without Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors have looked lost. Though Jorda Poole has filled the gaping hole to some extent, his inconsistency is hurting the team. Now is the time for Dray to show why he is a core number, instead he is busy showing his dissatisfaction with his own team.
