Draymond Green is placing some of the blame on himself after the Warriors dropped Game 1 of the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

After a flaming start to the game by Steph Curry, who set a new Finals record with six 3-pointers in the first quarter, Golden State ended up crumbling during the fourth in front of a dumbfounded Chase Center crowd. <\/p>\n

Green told reporters after the 120-108 loss that the Warriors will be \u201cfine\u201d moving forward but also acknowledged that he needed to pull his weight when talking about Andre Iguodala and Otto Porter Jr.’s post-injury performances.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, Green said on the latest episode of his podcast that he let Curry down in Game 1.<\/p>\n

“When I look back at the game, I failed him because I didn’t play well,” Green said on “The Draymond Green Show.” “And when he comes out guns blazing like that, playing the way he’s playing, I have to make sure that I do my part to make sure that ends in a win.”<\/p>\n

Green finished Thursday’s game with four points and five assists, missing 10 shots and turning the ball over three times before fouling out. Curry had a game-high 34 points and shot 50 percent from behind the 3-point line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I have to play better,\u201d Green continued. \u201cBut the way Steph Curry got out to that start was very promising. And I think we’ll start to see more of that. And myself and other guys can help and make sure that continues. “<\/p>\n

Green is known to rise to a challenge, and Dub Nation can only hope that he, Curry and the rest of the Warriors come out with a vengeance in Game 2 on Sunday at Chase Center.<\/p>\n
