Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pointed to the latest tough stretch of games, as his team finished the Texas triangle winless against the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs. The three-game losing streak is only part of a total of four losses in five games, coupled with a locker room scandal that shook the team to its core and forced it to suspend forward Draymond Green for one game for his part in it.

Fresh off a 104-92 loss to San Antonio, Kerr reminisced of his uber-successful four-year run with the Warriors, claiming these are indeed uncharted waters.

“Oh, yeah,” said Kerr, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell. “But I've had a dream run for four and a half years. We've had such a charmed existence the last four seasons. This is the toughest stretch we've been in.

“This is the real NBA. We haven't been in the real NBA the last few years. We've been in this dream. And so now we're faced real adversity and we got to get out of it ourselves.”

The Warriors looked out of tune this entire past week, and even worse their last three games, averaging a feather under 96 points per game and clearly missing the high-octane scoring from Stephen Curry, who is out with a groin injury.

The road doesn't get any easier for the Warriors, as they will return home only to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, likely forced to face them without Curry in the lineup despite his recent improvement this week.
