The Golden State Warriors‘ struggles in the NBA continue as the team has managed just one win in their last five games, putting their position in the play-in tournament at risk. Fans had hoped that their victory over the Phoenix Suns would serve as a turning point, sparking a winning streak. However, that momentum has yet to materialize. Stephen Curry recently addressed the team’s situation candidly.

“Like the kids say, we’re very mid right now. We’re just very average…I think we understand that better days can be ahead and, you know, you’re not in that big of a hole in the Western Conference if you look at the standings. You go on a five-, six-game run, to us that sounds like a lot, but it is like, the numbers, you can make up a lot of ground pretty quickly. You know, it’s a tough task, but that fine line between losing hope and confidence and understanding, you know, one good week, you’re kind of back in it. That’s where we are,” stated Stephen Curry said, via 95.7 The Game.

Curry acknowledged that the Warriors have yet to find their rhythm, as Draymond Green previously stated. While they have managed some wins, those victories have been undermined by inconsistent performances. Despite this, Curry remains optimistic, believing the team has the potential to turn things around. Their current position in the play-in zone provides a glimmer of hope, giving the Warriors a chance to improve and secure a playoff spot.

You are what your record says you are,” Steve Kerr stated on 95.7 The Game. “I think Bill Parcells, I think there’s a lot of truth to that, and we’ve obviously fallen from that early start where we had a lot of momentum and a lot of good flow to our game. And so I know because I’ve seen it, you know, the way we started, I know it’s in us, and I know we can get there, but right now it’s a struggle for sure.
