The 2022–23 season was fraught with drama from the start for the Warriors. It all began with a preseason practice spat in which Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole. While Golden State still made it to the second round of the playoffs, the season didn’t quite reach the championship expectations that have been set over the last decade-plus.
Reflecting on the season, coach Steve Kerr acknowledged he wasn’t able to bring last year’s team together, despite the fact that they had just won an NBA title the year before.
“I will say that I feel like I failed last year in connecting the group,” Kerr said, via Shayna Rubin of The Mercury News. “I have taken a lot of time this summer to think about last year, things I could have and should have done differently.”
