The Golden State Warriors lost another heartbreaking game.
Steph Curry fouled out in the last minute of a 103-102 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t finish the game.
Coach Steve Kerr was absolutely livid on the sidelines. He had to be held back after a no-call on Curry, and there was just no way of getting him to calm down.
Kerr didn’t even address the media afterward as he was still fuming.
However, even though Curry was well aware that the team needed their coach, he was nothing but supportive of Kerr.
Steph Curry has Steve Kerr’s back after ugly ejection
Following the loss, a reporter asked whether Curry thought that Kerr should’ve been more careful because it wasn’t the time to get himself ejected. Curry agreed, but he still loved what he saw from his coach.
“To be honest, I was gonna do that until I saw him,” Curry said, per Tomer Azarly. “That’s why I fouled Kris Dunn, because I was watching coach go crazy and I was appreciative of that. I love that fired up Steve for sure. Somebody had to do it today.”
This sums up the current state of the Warriors. They’ve been too loyal to one another, sometimes to a fault.
Of course, it’s always better to watch a team have a united front and stand by one another through thick and thin. Then again, it just feels like there’s no accountability anymore, and they’re just riding the wave of past glory.
More than that, it feels like this team is on the verge of collapse on any given night.
Kerr and Draymond Green got into it not so long ago, yet Green didn’t even face discipline after bailing on the team and leaving for the locker room during the game.
Steph Curry needs help from everybody in the building, and while people like Kerr have earned their stripes and the right to do certain things, this team is too old and too emotional, and that’s not what they need right now.
