The Golden State Warriors are in the middle of an untimely slump. They have now lost five of their last six games after absorbing a 123-115 defeat against the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.
Both teams were missing key players, but the Warriors still couldn't get the job done, dropping to 48-27. It's no coincidence that the team has struggled since Stephen Curry went down with a foot injury. After the loss to the Wizards, forward Draymond Green already assumed responsibility for how he's played terribly since his return. But coach Steve Kerr also pointed out their specific issues in their latest defeat, per the report of ESPN.
“It looked like they (Wizards) were getting wide-open shots from three most of the game. I didn't like our ball pressure or our general body language in the first half. I didn't think we brought it, I didn't think we competed.”
The last sentence must sting for the Warriors, who have always prided themselves in being a competitive bunch, especially with guys like Green and Klay Thompson in the fold. But Kerr admitted the tough reality they've been hit with recently.
With seven games left in their schedule, the Warriors can still regain the no. 2 spot in the Western Conference and possibly avoid facing the always-dangerous Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. But as Kerr pointed out, they have to bring it every single time.
The Warriors will have another tough test against the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of a back-to-back set.
