Golden State Warriors: 3 Issues they need to address
By Tony Pesta
Yikes. Just as the Golden State Warriors felt they were hitting their stride, a devastating two-game skid has them reevaluating things. The Dubs have lost their last two games by a combined total of 35 points and should be searching to find what they did wrong.
A big-loss to the Utah Jazz isn’t anything to be overly concerned about. And, even a loss to the New York Knicks isn’t that bad when you realize they’ve been on an inspiring run lately. However, these constant blowout losses are piling up, as six of the Dubs’ eight losses have come by double-digits.
The Golden State Warriors have shown they can be competitive, but routine blowout losses are putting a damper on their hopes.
This isn’t to dismiss their wins over both LA teams and the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors have gone toe-to-toe with some of the league’s best teams and emerged victoriously. Obviously, the star power of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will give them a fighting chance on any given night.
Yet, the Dubs post the 23rd worst Net Rating in the league due to their embarrassing losses. They are slipping further out of the playoff picture each day and will need to address these issues before they can rise back up.
