Green apologises after another ejection in Warriors defeat

Steve Kerr has told Draymond Green that he needs to help his team-mates, after he took a swing at Jusuf Nurkic

Transcript

00:00 He was pulling my hip and I was swinging away to sell the call, made contact with him.

00:07 As you know, I'm not one to apologize for things I meant to do, but I do apologize to

00:14 Yusef.

00:15 Because I didn't intend to hit him.

00:18 I sell calls with my arms.

00:20 I don't fall to sell a call.

00:22 I'm not a flopper.

00:24 I also don't think I'm an accurate enough puncher to do a full 360 and connect with

00:29 someone.

00:30 Huge swing.

00:31 We kind of felt good about having him at the 5, spreading the floor.

00:36 We got shooters out there.

00:37 Obviously he changed the lineup around.

00:40 We thought that could really get Steph some space.

00:43 So I felt good about having him out there.

00:46 He lost his poise.

00:47 Draymond's still a hell of a player.

00:49 Still a really good player.

00:51 So we need him.

00:52 If we're going to be a really good team, we need him.

00:55 But he knows that.

00:56 We've talked to him.

00:58 He's got to find a way to keep his poise and be out there for his teammates.

01:03 That situation is me trying to sell a foul call.

01:06 So on most situations, yes, I'd agree with you.

01:09 Can't put the team in a bad spot.

01:12 But I didn't intend to put the team in a bad spot.

01:15 I intended to get a foul.

01:17 And I made contact with him.

01:18 So yes, in most situations.

01:23 To Steve's point, of course I need to be there for us to win.
