Warriors' Green Faces Criticism, Team Needs Curry

0:00From Golden State Warriors coverage, this is your March 4th update. The Golden State Warriors have faced a tough stretch in 2026, since Stephen Curry got hurt late in January. The team is not one two games in a row without him, and veteran Dremon Greene has not stepped up on offense as hoped. Now sitting at 31 wins and 30 losses, they hold the 8th spot in the Western Conference, clinging to a playoff position. Greene's shooting has been rough lately. He hit just 38% from the floor in February, after 40% in January. Over 50 games this season, he averages 8.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. That showed up again Monday, and a home loss to the Clippers, where he scored only 4 points on one of 5 shooting, with 3 turnovers. Fans and analysts are speaking out. Commentator Nick Wright ripped Greene for chasing media spots instead of fixing his game during this bad year. Even clapped back at critics like X-Player Kendrick Perkins, dismissing talk that he relies too much on Curry.

1:00Numbers back up some concerns. Without Curry, Greene's scoring drops to 7.9 points over 14 games, with fewer assists and the team's defense weakens. With Curry, those lines improve a bit to 8.6 points. Curry's return could be weeks away, delayed again, and the Warriors need their long-time leader to find rhythm soon. They are 4 and 6 in the last 10 games with 2 straight losses. Coach Steve Kerr hopes Greene rebounds to chase another title run.
