KEY POINTS

  • The Warriors have gone four-straight games without winning
  • Stephen Curry wants to see improvement in the remaining 18 games of the season
  • Steve Kerr identifies one factor in the Dubs' skid

Stephen Curry is well aware the Golden State Warriors are in terrible form at the moment.

On Saturday, March 5, the Warriors extended their winless streak to four after falling short-handed against the Lakers, 124-116.

Curry led all Dubs’ scorers and logged 30 points. However, Golden State just didn’t nail the important shots during the crunch.

Speaking to ClutchPoints after the game, Curry admitted that if the playoffs will begin tomorrow, the Warriors “would be in some trouble.”

The two-time NBA MVP also stressed that major improvements should be made in the remaining 18 games of the season.

“If the playoffs started tomorrow, we would be in some trouble,” Curry pointed out. “We have to figure out how to get ourselves back on the right track and playing good basketball.”

“We’ll end up winning games and feeling good about ourselves, but it’s not going to happen on its own,” he continued. “You have to do something about it, and we have 18 games to do that.”

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reckoned that one thing that drastically declined during the team’s four-game losing streak was the free throws.

During the stretch, the Dubs have only shot 67.6% from the charity stripe.

All the opposing teams, on the other hand, have combined to shoot 75 percent from the line, making 18 more free throws made compared to theirs.

Opening up about the issue, Kerr asserted that coaches have already been appointed to help the players with their free throws and also noted that they just have to be consistent in working on it.

"We have guys coming in every day working on their free throws," Kerr told NBC Sports after the loss to the Lakers. "We have coaches helping them with it. You just have to keep working at it. That stuff tends to come and go.”

"I know that when your team is struggling, what happens in this league -- I've seen it a long time, as long as I've been in this league for 30-plus years -- when things are going poorly for you, things tend to go well for the opponent."

The Warriors will be looking to end their skid on Monday, March 7 when they visit the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.

Meanwhile, they will head back home on Wednesday, March 9 to face the Los Angeles Clippers.
