The reigning champions are 1-2 to start the season and completely unraveled at the conclusion of their latest loss, but they don't seem that worried.

If anything, the Golden State Warriors seem amused by the chaos.

Draymond Green, a habitual line stepper when it comes to the officials, sarcastically vowed to talk with Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry about their unbecoming ejections in the final minute of Saturday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

"We had two guys get ejected, which was unacceptable," Green joked, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes. "If we're going to win, have a possibility at winning another championship, guys can't be getting ejected like that.

"So, I've got to talk to those two guys and let them know that we need those guys on the floor and then maybe we can win a game. But right now, we're not that good because people are getting ejected."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr, meanwhile, offered more sarcasm when asked if Curry would potentially be suspended for whipping his mouthpiece at an official.

"Should be suspended 10 games ... endangered thousands of people," Kerr told reporters with a smile, according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
