[Saba Sports News] The 2024-2025 NBA regular season is entering a tense phase, and the recent performance of the Golden State Warriors has been concerning. Despite a core of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the Warriors have suffered four straight losses and dropped to fourth place in the Western Conference. The Warriors have lost back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs, Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder, And the Warriors got pummeled against the Phoenix Suns’ Big three of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. With a four-game losing streak looming, the Warriors could be overtaken by the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers if they don’t adjust in time.

In addition, the Warriors’ December schedule is considered the “devil’s schedule,” with a series of challenges from strong teams. In response, Curry publicly pressured Coach Steve Kerr to reduce the rotation in order to improve the team’s stability. Curry said, “I can’t take your 12-player rotation down to me.” Apparently, the Warriors have struggled with too much rotation recently, which has led to a lack of coordination between players, which has affected the overall performance of the team.
Elsewhere on the team, Jason Kidd gave Kyrie Irving credit for his performance, saying he was good at driving the offense and helping the team get easy baskets around the basket. And on the trade market, the Los Angeles Lakers have shown interest in Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, with the Bulls asking for multiple second-round picks and a potential rookie as a price.
Whether the Warriors can rebound in time, and whether the Lakers and Clippers can continue to catch up, will be the focus of attention as the season progresses and the dynamics of each team continue to change.
