Many were left flustered and frustrated by the Golden State Warriors following their latest loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.
They were particularly upset with the final quarter of the game when the defending champions made a few bad shots and gave up the ball multiple times.
Warriors icon Draymond Green is standing by his friends and defending their choices.
He is also saying the team’s defeat rests on everyone’s shoulders, not just those of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
“That’s on all of us. I’m rolling with them guys, taking any shot that they feel are necessary,” Green said on his podcast, as shared by The Volume.

The biggest complaints against the team after Monday night were that Curry gave up too many turnovers, Thompson’s three-point attempts were ill-advised, and Jordan Poole was a non-entity on the court.
But Green isn’t listening to any of that.
Instead, he is saying that he will always ride hard with this core and the only team he has ever played for.
The Warriors are definitely in a bad position right now, no team wants to be in a 3-1 hole.
They literally have to win every game against the Lakers going forward or else their season is over and they will be the defending champions no longer.
Coming back from 3-1 is incredibly hard but this is a time-tested team that has beaten the odds before.
Will they be able to overcome such an intimidating disadvantage?
Only if they perform much better than they did in Monday’s fourth quarter.
