Currently 13th in the Western Conference with a 2-6 record, it was not long ago where the thought of back-to-back losses was a laughable proposition for the mighty Golden State Warriors.
The NBA world is rejoicing over the predicaments of the Warriors. Kyle Kuzma was quick to label the defeat to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals as “karma” for the 2017 Conference Finals win versus the San Antonio Spurs; his choice of wording suspect for some after devastating injuries to both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.
Debate raged as to whether the Warriors could even reach the playoffs before Steph Curry’s fractured hand sidelined him until February 2020 – perhaps Kuzma believed that this was an extension to the karma.
