Draymond Green tries to hide his costly mistake vs. Suns with ‘great passer’ statement

The Golden State Warriors’ struggles continued during their most recent matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

Following a gut-wrenching 99-98 loss at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, the Golden State Warriors are now on a three-game losing streak.

As a result, the organization has slipped to the ninth seed in the Western Conference with an underwhelming 13-15 record.

Speaking of the one-point defeat, turnovers were the biggest issue for the Dubs against the Suns.

If the Warriors hope to initiate a comeback this season, the team needs to ensure they keep possession of the ball.

However, head coach Steve Kerr’s side failed to do so against the Suns as they committed 20 turnovers. Additionally, they allowed the Suns to score 30 points off those costly turnovers.

Veteran forward Draymond Green had a team-high five turnovers to his name, but he tried to cover up his costly mistakes during the postgame press conference.

“I’m just going to throw the pass when I know it’s there instead of second-guessing. I’m a great f______ passer. … If I turn it over, I turn it over, but I’m a great passer,” Green said.

Rather than taking accountability for his mistakes, Green simply tried to remind the reporter about his passing ability.

While Green’s a great passer for his size, he had just three assists vs. the Suns. He had an assist-to-turnover ratio of just 0.6, which is not great.

Turnovers have been a major issue for Draymond Green this season

Despite being the defensive anchor of the team, Green has often handled the playmaking duties for the Warriors.

However, at 35, Green is arguably out of his prime, and it’s reflecting on his play on the hardwood. For instance, Green is currently averaging a career-high 3.3 turnovers per game this season.

While he’s averaging 5.4 assists per game, Dray has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.63 for the season.

It’s not terrible, but it’s certainly not great for someone who claims to be a great passer and avoids accountability after a tough loss.
