Draymond Green questions Warriors' commitment to winning after another road blowout loss

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is questioning whether everyone on the team is committed to winning, despite the moves the front office has made to get the team back in the championship conversation.

The Warriors have struggled to a 6-6 start this season, and all six of their losses have come on the road, including Tuesday night when theOklahoma City Thunderblew them out 126-102. Green had three points, four assists and two rebounds in the loss.

"I think everybody was committed to winning (last season) and doing that any way possible," Green said after the game. "Right now, it doesn't feel that way."

Golden State's issues this season have been primarily not taking care of the ball. The Warriors had 21 turnovers against the Thunder.

"I think everyone has a personal agenda in this league," Green said. "But you have to make those personal agendas work within the team confines. If it doesn't work, you kind of got to get rid of your agenda or eventually the agenda is the cause of someone getting rid of you."

Green did not mention anyone by name when making those comments, but later stated that everyone on the team needs to take ownership of what has been going wrong during the early part of the season.

Golden State's next five games are on the road, including the next two games against theSan Antonio Spurs, who haven't lost at home. The Warriors don't return home until a Nov. 21 contest against thePortland Trail Blazers.
