Warriors' Draymond Green defends slumping teammate by blaming the media

In an otherwise compassionate defense of Brandin Podziemski, Warriors veteran Draymond Green blamed the media for the second-year guard’s struggles this season.

“What he’s trying to work through is y’all’s fault,” Green said in response to a question from the Athletic’s Anthony Slater regarding Podziemski’s “tough early season.”

The opening line drew light chuckles from reporters, and a smile from Green himself, before the 34-year-old explained that the Santa Clara product was putting too much pressure on himself to hit his shots, and he’s getting inside his own head.
