Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and the Golden State Warriors are in trouble after their latest on-court flop against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Despite a rare scoring explosion from Draymond Green (four three-pointers in the first quarter), the Warriors were defeated after squandering a 22-point second-half lead.

This is just another troubling performance for the Warriors, who are trying to keep their heads above water after a 6-2 start. The Warriors’ last possession was perhaps the game’s defining moment. Steph Curry, who had previously hit a couple three-pointers, elected to hand off the game-winning shot to Draymond Green, who missed a corner three-pointer.

Going to Dray for that shot was definitely not the greatest idea, but the Warriors haven’t been making the best selections this season. With bad shot selection from the veterans, uneven attention from the young players, and dubious rotations from head coach Steve Kerr, it’s no surprise that the Warriors are suffering and that their plight has become the biggest subject in the league right now. 

NBA Fans Can’t Believe The State Of The Warriors In 2023

For a club that has reached the heights of the Warriors, mediocrity will no longer enough for the players, front office, or fans. With a salary of more than $136 million, the Warriors are paying a high price to keep these men together, and the only way to justify it is to make a serious postseason run. But, at 9-11 and rapidly losing ground, there’s a chance the Warriors don’t even reach the playoffs.In any case, supporters are apprehensive about this squad, as seen by their online comments after the humiliating defeat.It’s unusual for the Warriors to be the league’s laughingstock, but many fans are doing so right now amid a swarm of memes and quips on social media.The Warriors’ biggest nightmare is that this isn’t their first time losing in this manner. This season, Golden State has wasted multiple big-time leads, which tells us all we need to know about their standing as a contender.Only a fool would count out the Warriors this early in the game, but they shouldn’t go on like this for much longer. Every defeat counts in the Wild West, and if the Dubs want to secure home-court advantage in April, May, and June, they’ll need to clean up their act quickly and turn this thing around.

Panic Mode For Golden State?

There is no disputing that the former NBA champions are in bad shape, as they seem lifeless and demoralized after the defeat. Far from their golden years, the squad is running out of patience, and supporters are wondering whether this is the end of an era for the organization. While Steve Kerr intends to continue with his key players, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. may have different ideas on how to salvage this scenario and place Steph in a winning position to end his career.Depending on how the next several weeks go, this Warriors club might undergo significant adjustments as they seek to capitalize on Stephen Curry’s sustained success. Because if there’s one thing that’s very evident, it’s that this Warriors squad, as it now stands, will struggle to win anything.
