The Golden State Warriors wasted little time in having things go south this season. They started off an exciting — and dare I say, convincing — 5-1, before promptly falling on their face. Every attempt to stand back up only resulted in them slipping and splatting even more dramatically than the time before, like a cartoon character repeatedly trying to stand up on ice, failing more and more ludicrously each time.
They’ve gone 14-23 since. They bookended a five-game winning streak in mid-December with a six-week stretch without consecutive wins and a five-week, still active stretch without consecutive wins.
