Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors would like to rewind time and erase their start to the 2022-23 season. The Dubs are short of dubs as they have lost nine games to the start of the season. Bringing their overall record to 6-9. Now, the NBA season is 82-games long, but performances like the loss against Phoenix Suns can catch up in no time.
