Green: Cousins not to blame for Warriors' woes

OAKLAND, Calif. -- As the Golden State Warriors continue to try and find a better defensive rhythm heading into Friday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets, Warriors forward Draymond Green wanted to make something clear on the heels of Tuesday night's embarrassing 33-point defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics: Don't just blame DeMarcus Cousins for the Warriors' woes.

"I think so many people are kind of looking at the starting lineup and saying, 'Oh, DeMarcus is in there and the defense is worse,'" Green said after Wednesday's practice.
