The Golden State Warriors’ eventual demise to the Houston Rockets has marked one of the franchise’s worst start in years.

Currently 13th in the Western Conference with a 2-6 record, it was not long ago where the thought of back-to-back losses was a laughable proposition for the mighty Golden State Warriors.

The NBA world is rejoicing over the predicaments of the Warriors. Kyle Kuzma was quick to label the defeat to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals as “karma” for the 2017 Conference Finals win versus the San Antonio Spurs; his choice of wording suspect for some after devastating injuries to both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Debate raged as to whether the Warriors could even reach the playoffs before Steph Curry’s fractured hand sidelined him until February 2020 – perhaps Kuzma believed that this was an extension to the karma.

As it stands, the Warriors are destined for the lottery as a team of rookies and two-way players supplemented by a few role players.

And teams are reveling in beating them…

After the dismantling on opening night by the Clippers, Patrick Beverley basked in his triumph, claiming the “next five years” are his after Warriors dominance frustrated his time in Houston. He was also happy to wave goodbye to the departing Chase Center crowd during garbage time.

Pat Bev is a master trash talker, and it is to be expected. However, Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher has released information on how the rest of the NBA have felt towards the Warriors this season.

Spoiler alert: they seem to be very happy with how the Dubs’ season has transpired thus far.
