Stephen Curry’s silence on Kerr-Green friction suggests palping frustration amidst struggling season

The struggling Golden State Warriors should have been celebrating their dominant 120-106 victory over the Orlando Magic this week, but the post-game chatter didn’t revolve around Steph Curry’s shooting or the team’s defensive surge.

Instead, the spotlight shifted toward an internal friction on the bench. The heated exchange with head coach Steve Kerr and Draymond Green seems much bigger than the Warriors' blowout win. And not everyone is happy about this.For Stephen Curry, who represents the Warriors franchise, the sight wasn’t a comfortable one. Curry isn’t usually annoyed, but post this friction between his coach and teammate, his body language spoke volumes.

The constant sideline theatrics are wearing down the NBA superstar. The Warriors are not exactly crushing this season, and with each ongoing match, the “frustrating” is bubbling. The dream of another championship is not supported by the talent on the bench, and that gap is bringing in some unwanted imagery for the fans.

Stephen Curry on Steve Kerr and Draymond Green’s heated exchange

The Warriors hosted the Magic at the Chase Centre on Monday night. With the home court advantage, the Warriors delivered an outstanding performance, winning by 120-106, but it wasn’t the win that led the talks.

During a timeout in the third quarter, tension arose on the sidelines when Steven Kerr and Draymond Green exchanged some heated words, followed by Green walking off straight towards the locker room.When asked about the nature of the conversation with Draymond Green, Steve Kerr replied, “We got into it, obviously. I took the timeout because I thought we lost our focus there a little bit. So, we had it out a little bit, and he made his decision to go back to the locker room to cool off."Despite everything, Kerr knows the value Draymond adds to the roster, “We need Draymond. He's a champion. We've been together for a long time. ... Yeah, it's unfortunate what happened, but it happened."

When Stephen Curry was asked about his view on the Kerr and Green friction, he just replied with, “They are just having a good conversation. It’s kind of for them to talk about, not me.” Continuing about if Warriors' 15-15 season, a record long shot away from what was expected, was the point of contention between everyone, Curry said, “Yeah, but that frustration has led to two wins.

It's unfortunate that we're up here, considering where we've been, two-game win streak and protecting our home court, that the vibes of the questions are a little bit more negative than they should be. I get why you're asking them, but downstairs right now, the DJ's got a good playlist going, guys are getting their work in, and we're having a good time because we're winning.

Stephen Curry’s reaction was silent yet impactful

Stephen Curry was sitting beside Draymond Green when the entire scene unfolded, yet he remained seated with no intention to interfere.

He was sitting in silence while shaking his head. The four-time champion, for years, has acted like a connecting dot between everyone on the Warriors roster, but this stance might suggest that even the league’s most patient leader is feeling the weight of the recurring drama.The Warriors have long thrived on Draymond’s chaos on the court and Kerr’s calm demeanor even in panic moments, but this particular flare-up felt different. It was definitely not a good sight for the Dub nation. With the Warriors eyeing another playoff seat, these internal disagreements will remain their biggest hurdle before anything else.
