Frustration is building for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors

As the losses pile up, the frustration is mounting for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Sooner or later, something has to give.

Just a few weeks ago, the Dubs were riding high on their first three-game win streak of the season. Everybody felt like something clicked and the team was prepping to embark on a revenge tour for the ages. Then… they were thwarted in Los Angeles by the reigning champs in their first of four straight losses.

This four-game streak marks the longest drought of the season for Golden State and it hasn’t been easy for Curry to swallow – as seen in his mild explosion on the sidelines during their loss to the LA Clippers.

The Golden State Warriors are in the midst of their worst stretch of the season and Stephen Curry is begging for someone to help him.

We can’t blame Steve Kerr for sticking to his guns and pushing the ‘Strength in Numbers’ mantra. The Warriors’ selfless brand of basketball is what made them champions and it will be the key to repairing this wounded dynasty. Yet, the truth is, the Dubs just don’t have strength in their numbers anymore.

Curry is one of the most unselfish leaders in sports but even he has to be annoyed with how his team is playing. There is almost no point in giving the ball to anyone besides the two-time MVP as he is typically the only player capable of scoring on most nights.

This has been made even worse by the fact that Curry himself is struggling to score. He scored just 16 points against the Lakers and 14 against the Clippers on a combined 3-for-15 shooting from the 3-point line. The reason? Well, it isn’t easy to get a good shot when you’re facing a top-tier defense with no one else on the court to help you out.

I highly doubt Curry wants the Dubs to transition into a James Harden-type offense where he is given free rein to isolate and jack up 3-pointers every play – but I’m also sure the thought has entered his mind at least once during these blowout losses. If no one else is going to help, why not put the ball in the hands of the greatest shooter of all-time and let him unload the clip? But, again, the Warriors don’t have the option to stray away from their motto. That is because, after this season, strength in numbers will once again become the key to winning another title.

To keep it blunt, the Warriors are in a pickle. They aren’t going to overload Curry by tasking him with scoring each possession and that means his teammates will routinely be asked to carry their own weight – which they haven’t been able to do and likely won’t ever succeed. Until Klay Thompson returns and the team makes some moves to shake this roster up, this is just where we are.
