Kerr: Warriors aren't acting professionally

Steve Kerr isn't impressed by the Golden State Warriors' apparent lack of manners.

Draymond Green was the latest Warrior to have his name scribed on the league's naughty list this season when the forward was fined $50,000 for directing "inappropriate and offensive language" toward an NBA official during Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Green's outburst in the game paved the way for his second technical foul and subsequent ejection in the fourth quarter, giving Golden State 46 technicals on the season - just eight behind the league-leading Thunder with 54. And their questionable behavior now has Kerr calling for his side to improve their on-court demeanor.

"It's not a good look," Kerr said Thursday, according to The Associated Press. "We need to look more professional, to act more professional and to be more poised and to represent our team in a better light.

"I don't think we've been doing a good job of that lately."

Green wasn't the only Warrior, however, who was given a technical in Tuesday's loss. Veterans Andre Iguodala and David West, and even Kerr himself were also assessed with unsportsmanlike infractions.
