The Golden State Warriors have a lot of explaining to do. On Monday, they fell to the Utah Jazz 119–116, prompting head coach Steve Kerr to advocate for a shortened season. Then on Tuesday, the Warriors lost to the Chicago Bulls 130–124 in overtime. A loss some are characterizing as tanking.
The loss to Chicago was especially painful because of one moment. In the final seconds, Draymond Green fouled Jalen Smith, putting the Warriors ahead 118–116. Ultimately, Smith converted both free throws, forcing the game into overtime.
After the game, Kerr took responsibility for Golden State's inability to finish and Green's foul trouble.

"It was a foul, I saw the replay, he put his hand in the wrong place, and it would have been a tough shot."
Steve Kerr explains what went wrong with the fourth down QTR and Draymond Green's last second foul:

Still, fans aren't going easy on Kerr or Green.
"Shouldn't have even entered the game at that time," @OloapZurc posted on Twitter.
Another user called on Kerr to resign his post and take Green with him.
"I want this guy to be fired next season and take Drummond with him," @XKingnas posted on social media.
Then, another fan took it a step further, saying that Kerr should step aside.
"Kerr is taking a lot of the blame as to why the Warriors are losing a lot of games... Maybe then he should have the decency to resign. That's tantamount to admitting he's no longer a good coach for this Warriors team," @JRemeria0218 said on Twitter.
As a result, the Warriors are now 32-33 and have lost three consecutive games.
