Golden State Warriors in the slump: Stephen Curry and Co. had these problems in the past few weeks

After a terrific start, the Golden State Warriors are now third in the west and going through their most difficult phase of the season. What are the reasons for this and how does this affect the dubs’ championship aspirations?

When Steve Kerr complains to the media, it’s usually for a reason. The Warriors coach learned from Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich, so the 56-year-old knows all the tricks. After the bankruptcy against the Lakers, the problems of the team were less addressed, but instead lectured about ithow unfairly the NBA timed the catch-up game against Denver.

This was of course complete nonsense, after all the schedule is so tight that back-to-backs can hardly be avoided in such situations. And the nuggets? They even had four games in five days. In contrast, there was less to be heard from the Mile High City, which is hardly surprising given that they are one of the hottest teams in the league.

On the other hand, Golden State is in danger of losing home advantage after nine bankruptcies from twelve games. The victory against the Clippers brought some relief a day later. After the red-hot start, the Warriors are still only third in the west, even Utah (3 games behind) and Dallas (3.5) are still within reach.

So what happened to the team that started 17-2, paraded the Suns in their own arena at Christmas and was viewed by quite a few as favorites to win the championship? We take a look at the problem areas of the dubs in the past weeks and months.
