Andre Iguodala was frustrated after the Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night by a score of 103-102, which was their fourth loss in the last six games. They look totally different without Kevin Durant at the moment but that still doesn’t explain Iguodala’s awkward post game interview.
The Warriors were visibly frustrated with the officiating in their game against Minnesota. Still, Iguodala’s reaction when asked about the game didn’t really jive with the question he was asked.
“We gotta score more than the other team,” he told reporters. “Yep, they want dumb n—-s, so I’m going to give y’all a dumb n—-.”

Then asked whether the team issues run deeper than just scoring baskets, Iguodala responded, “What would dumb n—-s say? ‘Just play harder. Figure it out. Change gonna come.’ You know what we used to say. Change gonna come.”
Then when asked if he knew that coach Steve Kerr would be resting him, along with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for their game on Saturday against the Spurs, Iguodala replied “Nope, no clue, I do what master say.”
That last comment had people wondering if their is some issue with Kerr and Iguodala or any other player for that matter but he assures it has nothing to do with Kerr.
“Me and Steve are cool,” Iguodala told ESPN. “[People] can think what they want to think.”
Spoke w/ @Andre Iguodala about "master" comment. He made it clear that in no way was he referring to Steve Kerr. Was an inside locker joke.

At the end of the night, it was a very frustrating game for the Warriors as a whole so emotions were all over the place. They also aren’t used to losing 4 of 6 games and looking like a very mediocre team. The good news for them is they are so talented that this slump won’t last much longer and as long as they’re at full strength with Durant for the playoffs then all of this will be long forgotten.
