Something is wrong with the Golden State Warriors

On the night Stephen Curry returned from his three-game illness absence, the Golden State Warriors should've been excited.

They were not.

The Oklahoma City Thunder handled the Dubs, and afterward, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green both shared some concerning thoughts.

Butler is calling for "sacrifice," saying that "everybody has to be honest with themselves" about how they are or aren't contributing to the good of the entire team.

Draymond Green was maybe even a bit more pointed in his take.

“Everyone has a personal agenda, but you have to make this personal agenda work in the team," Green said.

There will be plenty of speculation about whether there's one or two specific players being referenced by the two veteran stars.

The reality is that any sort of internal conflict with these Warriors is a bad sign.

At their peak, the Warriors operated as one unit, moving in sync on and off the court.

Sure, Green often found his way into some spats, but that was part of what made it all work.

The fact that Butler and Green feel the Warriors aren't currently connected in the way that they should be is not a good sign. Golden State built its roster to win now, led by the aging trio of Curry, Green and Butler.

If the other pieces aren't doing their parts, Golden State won't stand a chance in the loaded Western Conference.

The Warriors have solved internal strife before. To make this season count, it looks like they'll have to do it again.
