Kerr says there would be no championship without Draymond Green

Since the introduction of Jimmy Butler before the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors have rebounded strongly this season, once challenging for the top six in the Western Conference, adding suspense to the playoff battle. However, in a direct dialogue with the equally competitive Houston Rockets, the Warriors lost 96-106, temporarily halting their winning streak.

Despite the team's loss, one veteran still became the focus after the game - Draymond Green.

The 35-year-old forward is considered a favorite for the Defensive Player of the Year this season, but he received five fouls in the game against the Rockets, which once again sparked controversy among some fans about his "overly aggressive" style. However, head coach Steve Kerr does not see it that way.

"I love Draymond's anger," Kerr said firmly in the post-game press conference. "None of the four championship banners hanging above our heads could have been won without him."

"He tried his best on the field, but the game was just not on our side today."

Compared with criticism, Kerr appreciates Green's passion and fighting spirit on the court. He firmly believes that it is Green's defensive hub role and spiritual leader on the court that have laid the foundation for the Warriors' dynasty.

Although this defeat makes the Warriors' road to the top six a little bumpy, under the perseverance of the head coach and core veterans, the Golden State Warriors still maintain their impact.
