The fact that this game was on the second night of a back-to-back, in which the first night brought a win, clearly made no difference in Green’s assessment of this season. The team is mediocrity incarnate, heading into the All Star break at 29-29 in the season following a title. The glitter from the Larry O’Brien trophy and the championship rings has certainly faded.. “It’s a will to want to defend. You’re not hungover at .500, 60 games into the season.

Steph Curry after the All-Star break, but he will be back soon enough, and that could help the team become more competitive, even if it doesn’t immediately address their defensive issues. The team has gone 2-3 in his absence.
