Draymond Green says the Warriors' defense is broken because they're not stopping the right players. Opponents are posting career highs and scoring roughly double their usual averages. He says the team needs a unified defensive mindset to fix it.

Jimmy and I have been very vocal about our defense. The defense is about a presence. You know, like in order to be a great team, you have to have a presence. When you look at our defense, we've given up career highs to maybe 6 guys this year. These unbelievable games that they shouldn't have quite had. Everybody's getting double their average. You gotta hold them beneath their average. That's what I mean by stopping the guys you should stop. First and foremost, like we need to find that presence defensively. Collectively. If we want to be any sort of a good team, it has to happen on the defensive end.
