Stephen Curry talks on Warriors recent struggle
The Golden State Warriors’ collective struggle against the Oklahoma City Thunder could not be overshadowed by Stephen Curry’s significant 34-point performance at a 50% shooting rate. Despite the Warriors’ domination in rebounding, a startling 29 turnovers marred their game, making it look like they were up against more than five opponents.
The Thunder took advantage of these mistakes, scoring 35 points off turnovers, roughly a quarter’s worth of points. The Warriors, who were up against the league’s best 3-point shooting team, took advantage of the Thunder’s struggles beyond the arc, going 5 of 29. Despite these advantages, they were defeated 138-136 in an overtime thriller.

After experiencing yet another close setback, the Warriors now stand at 10-12 in the conference. In the post-game press conference, an obviously upset Curry emphasized the importance of taking action over discussing the team’s issues.
Curry expressed fatigue with always addressing the ongoing difficulties and expressed a wish to see improvements before the New Year, avoiding the season becoming a cycle of catch-up games in the coming months.
Warriors inconsistent NBA performances continues
The Golden State Warriors currently hold a 10-11 record this season and grapple with inconsistency, prompting Head Coach Steve Kerr to contemplate changes to their starting lineup on a game-by-game basis. The team’s struggle to form a cohesive combination stems from absences and on-court issues, leading Kerr to experiment with fresh ideas until stability returns.
The Warriors’ recent performance has been unpredictable, securing only four wins in their last 13 games, casting doubt on their ability to compete this season. Notably, in contrast to previous seasons, the typical starting lineup has shown a substantial decline this year, impacting their overall net rating.
Despite facing offensive challenges, Andrew Wiggins remains a cornerstone for excellent perimeter defense. However, his statistical performance of 12.6 points and 4.3 rebounds on 42/26/61 shooting splits reflects the team’s overall inconsistency.
Moving forward, the Warriors will continue to experiment with lineup changes in order to find a winning formula. Kerr may experiment with drastic measures, including as benching Draymond Green, as witnessed in previous playoffs, to drive change and revitalise team chemistry. Finding a consistent and effective combination, however, remains critical for the team’s future performance and playoff hopes.
