Kerr cusses out Green for not getting back on defense

Anything less than a full effort from arguably the best defender on the team is unacceptable to Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

Following a miss from Kevin Durant late in the second quarter on Tuesday night, San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard got back down the floor and scored a quick two points, with Defensive Player of the Year runner-up Draymond Green nowhere to be found.

Kerr laid into Green as he walked off the floor for a time out, asking his All-Star whether he was going to "(expletive) play" or not, and that he needs to get back on defense.

With San Antonio having their way with the reigning Western Conference champs in the opening half of their season opener, all Kerr wanted was a little more effort from one of his energy guys and team leaders.
