Despite a winning history unmatched by any other team in the last decade, closing out games remains one of the Golden State Warriors‘ biggest challenges this season. In a span of just a few days, their modern dynasty accounted for two of the biggest slip-up games. However, this merely scratches the surface of the issues faced by Stephen Curry and the crew. Despite starting the season with a promising 6-2 record, they have managed only three victories in the last 12 games.

Adding to their consistent struggles is the team’s floor general, Draymond Green, who, despite a suspension, continues to exhibit a sense of rage on the court. These sudden outbursts are hindering the development of any chemistry that manages to take root in their system.

Hall of Famer analyst claims Stephen Curry is playing a solo

Addressing the Warriors’ recent struggles, Marc J Spears pinpointed their “biggest issue this season” when queried about it on NBA Today. Without hesitation, the Hall of Famer identified their “offense” as the pivotal factor. Furthermore, Spears commended remarkable performances by Stephen Curry, humorously stating, “If the Warriors were an old Motown group, they’d be called Stephen Curry and the Miracles right now.”

Spears put light on offensive contributions apart from Steph. He highlighted that no other player on their roster is averaging more than 16 points. Moreover, he noted the stark contrast from last season, where three Warriors averaged at least 20 points per game (Steph, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole).

Steve Kerr has been losing sleep

Upon returning from Sacramento, Stever Kerr claimed that he was unable to settle in. Tossing and turning in bed, he mulled over everything that transpired after their recent game against the Sacramento Kings. Or so he said in a recent interview. However, thanks to his wife reminding him that it was a bit premature in the season to lose sleep over the situation, he was provided a reality check.

The Warriors do have 60 games to figure things out. However, with the recent struggles and the situation that they are in, it seems like they are under a spell.

Firstly, Andrew Wiggins is experiencing an overall decline in production. Adding to the quandary is Klay Thompson, as he appears to have lost his once-masterful touch. Furthermore, once known for his defense against quick players, Klay is seen becoming a target for young players, exploiting his lost step at several points this season. Compounding the challenges, their much-needed orchestrator, Chris Paul, is grappling with an injury.

Can the Dubs fight back to salvage the season or is it too late for them?
