The Golden State Warriors have been having an underwhelming season by their standards. While the Warriors were dubbed as a lock for the playoffs, things haven’t quite worked out as they would have expected.

The Dubs have lost seven of their last eight games and have dropped to the 10th seed in the Western Conference with a record of 23 wins and 27 losses. They are even at the risk of falling down further with teams like the Pelicans and Kings gaining some form off-late.

“It’s tough, keep it real; we all had higher expectations for where we were supposed to be this season. And guys want to outperform; when they go out there, they want to over exceed the expectations for themselves, for the coaching staff, whatever it is. And when it doesn’t happen, it’s frustrating.”

He added, “I hope it stings, I hope it’s uncomfortable, I hope it motivates you to keep grinding, challenging yourself to get better. I hope nobody is content just being in this middle-of-the-road situation. We’re going to find out how we respond down the stretch of the season. See what we’re made of.”

The Warriors still have two roster spots left and can bring in veterans to bolster their squad. With 22 games left, the Dubs have to give it their all to book a place in the playoffs or in the play-in tournament. If the Warriors don’t step up now, they might be in big trouble.
