Kerr: None of us are playing selfishly, we're just not on the same page

6686 Sports November 13th NBA regular season, the Warriors will play the visiting team against the Spurs today.

After yesterday's disastrous defeat to the Thunder, Dream Green said after the game: "I think everyone on the team at the end of last season was committed to winning and doing it in every way possible. But it doesn't feel like that now. I think in this league, everyone is committed to winning. Everyone has a personal goal, but you have to make this personal goal work within the framework of the team. If it doesn't work, then you have to give up your goal, otherwise this goal will eventually become the reason for others to let you go." His remarks triggered heated discussions.

In this regard, Warriors coach Cole responded to Dream Chasing's remarks in today's pre-game interview: "I agree with him - we are not right emotionally and energetically right now. But I want to make it clear: No player on our team is playing selfishly or deliberately doing something that will hurt the team's chance of winning."

"The problem is, we're not in the same rhythm right now. When teams are out of sync, they move a little slower, they make more mistakes, they handle certain possessions a little worse, and then all of a sudden you're out of position. The energy goes down -- it feels like we're not focused enough on winning, which is true, but it's not anyone's fault."

"It's an energy atmosphere that every team needs to feel. I've been very lucky in my 11 years of coaching and our team has been able to maintain that atmosphere most of the time. But there are always moments every season when that energy disappears and you have to work hard to get it back. It requires watching the tape and pointing out the details."

"Like telling the players. They may not realize that they are dribbling longer than usual and holding the ball for too long, so it is my responsibility to make sure that the lineup is appropriate, the combinations are balanced, and the combinations that have proven effective in the past will affect the game.
But at the end of the day, when you lose, there is often something wrong with the energy atmosphere."
