The Golden State Warriors opened the season with two straight losses. They’ve since rebounded, giving hope to both themselves and their diehard fanbase.
It wasn’t too shocking when the Golden State Warriors lost to the Kevin Durant-led Brooklyn Nets to open the season.
However, the next game was against last season’s best Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks absolutely gave it to the Warriors, beating them by more than 30 and marking the team’s second straight 25-plus point loss.
It was a dismal few games for the Warriors. Stephen Curry wasn’t looking like his two-time MVP self either. The slander on Twitter was real, and then Curry started to put the team on his back, helping propel them to wins over the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls.
The Warriors then had two straight games against the Portland Trail Blazers. It’s tough to beat a team like Portland twice. With superstar Damian Lillard playing some of the best ball of his career, the Warriors lost the first meeting then annihilated them the second time around.
The Dubs then handed it to the Kings. What happened to this team in terms of a completely changed confidence? Let’s dive into three reasons why the Warriors have almost instantaneously looked like a much better team.
