"But the show must go on, and when every day is a new competition for the entertainment dollar-Red Panda is now doing NFL gigs, for Christ's sake-the Warriors are learning that there is more to holding an audience than Curry going for 48 in an inexplicable loss. You'll still get that show every now and then, but no longer with the old rerun-style regularity."
"And so it was that, two nights after getting ejected a minute and change into the second quarter, which is impressive even for him, Green got into a heated snipefest with head coach Steve Kerr on the bench during Monday's game. That set-to came three minutes and change into the second quarter (hmm, a pattern developing?) and ended with a novel twist-Green taking himself to the locker room in a rare and valuable self-ejection."
Golden State's season has been underwhelming as age has diminished roster consistency and the team now sits near .500 after a 120-97 win over Orlando. A fan base accustomed to 2015–19 dominance confronts a comedown as regular high-octane performances become intermittent. Stephen Curry still produces spectacular scoring nights but no longer supplies rerun-level frequency. The franchise faces increased competition for attention and must provide more than individual outbursts to retain audiences. Draymond Green's temperament remains a disruptive factor, evidenced by rapid ejections, a bench confrontation with coach Steve Kerr, and a rare self-directed decision to go to the locker room.
