To say it’s been a rough season for the Golden State Warriors would be an understatement. Less than two years removed from winning their fourth NBA championship, the Warriors are locked in a heated battle for the final play-in spots in the Western Conference.
And at this point in the season, every little misstep can have dire consequences.
On Wednesday night, just one evening after Draymond Green’s latest antics invited more suspension talks, the Golden State forward got himself ejected less than four minutes into a battle against the Orlando Magic. Given where the Warriors are in the standings, they could ill afford to lose one of their best players against a tough Eastern Conference opponent.
It appears Steph Curry is well aware of the potentially bleak reality that awaits the Warriors because he was seen full-blown crying after Green’s ejection:
Steph was not happy with Draymond’s ejection 😬

Oof. That’s the look of a man who seems to know he’s watching the end of a Golden Warriors era in real time while one of his teammates continually doesn’t have his eye on the prize. What a grim time for the Warriors.
