Draymond Green Outlines Frustrations of Life in Golden State Post-Kevin Durant

Green's Durant Rant Shared by Podcast

Life on the court was challenging the year after Durant left according to Green, who spoke on the Boardroom channel.

"One of the worst feelings I ever had was the year we sucked," Green said.

"It was right after KD left. Klay was hurt. Steph was hurt. We were awful. I had zero interest in playing," he said.

"We were the best team in the world. And now...I'm out here with 10, maybe 11 guys who were out of the league within a year.

"No disrespect to them, but they weren't Steph. They weren't Klay. They weren't KD. They weren't Shaun Livingston.

"The competitiveness just wasn't the same."

Green also revealed that opposing players called him "old" as he struggled to lead an outmatched Warriors team to more wins.

Warriors Take on Reeling Trail Blazers Tonight

Green and the Warriors woke up today with another 10 p.m. ET tip off on the schedule against the reeling Portland Trail Blazers, who will play for interim head coach Thiago Splitter following allegations of illegal gambling rings involving coach Chauncey Billups.

The Warriors are 2-0 on the season and have been experimenting with a "jumbo" lineup involving Green, Al Horford, Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry that would be seen as a regular sized lineup for most teams.

The Warriors have gone small ball in recent seasons but the addition of the veteran Horford gives Kerr's team a savvy outside shooting big man with rebounding and defensive skills.

The Warriors aren't likely to be an NBA Finals pick this season by most of the media but Green, Curry and the rest of the team are turning heads early in the season with their vintage play.
