The Golden State Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green has criticised his own team for having a poor record while playing at home.
The Warriors are going through a difficult campaign where they are placed in the 10th position in the Western Conference with 35 wins and 32 defeats.
While playing at home, the Warriors have won just 17 out of the 35 fixtures and lost 18 in the process. Only the Memphis Grizzlies, the Portland Trail Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs have worse records while playing at home in the Western Conference.
Green was recently quoted in a report where he stated that the team’s performance while playing at home is ‘unacceptable’ and it is something that he cannot ‘understand’.
“The Knicks loss is our third straight loss at home, which again, I don’t quite understand,” said Green. “We seem to be playing a lot better and more connected on the road then we are at home, and that’s a problem because we keep kind of having this week at home, week on the road, week at home, week on the road, and it’ll pretty much be like that through the end of the year.
“Honestly, it’s unacceptable. If I had an answer for you, what’s happening, I would 1,000 percent give the answer to my teammates, but we can’t seem to figure it out.
“And when you’re at home, you should feed off the energy from the crowd. Everybody should play better when you’re at home, and that’s just not happening for us.
“So, there are about 14 games left and we’ve got to figure it out at some point because these games are very critical for us. You can’t keep taking one step forward, two steps back, and that’s what we keep doing.”
The Warriors' next fixture will be once again at home. This time, they will face the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
