To put things lightly, things aren’t looking great for the Warriors at the moment.<\/p>\n
Coach Steve Kerr labeled it a “crisis of confidence” after another disheartening 114-98 loss Tuesday to the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n
Forward Draymond Green also provided a profound reflection on Golden State’s struggles, as teammate Trayce Jackson-Davis revealed postgame.<\/p>\n
After being asked about the Warriors’ recent struggles since their hot 12-3 start, Jackson-Davis shared what has gone wrong over the past month and a half.<\/p>\n
“When shots are falling, everything is nice. Everything is great,” Jackson-Davis told reporters. “But we can’t be frontrunners.<\/p>\n
“We got to find our soul. That’s what Draymond said — it was our soul that we’ve lost, and we’ve lost our spirit. We got to get that back. We got to play tough basketball. We got to play with confidence. … I think if we do that, we’ll find our way back.”<\/p>\n
Like Kerr, Green’s self-assessment of the Warriors’ slump doesn’t have a simple, surface-level fix. Instead, the team’s issues appear to be more deep-seated, as though their championship-caliber identity has been compromised.<\/p>\n
So, as Golden State departs for a four-game Midwest road trip over the next week, the team will have plenty to think about as it looks to get back to its winning ways.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, that soul and spirit isn’t lost forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
