If BD Cricket Match had to name the most disappointing team of the season, the Golden State Warriors would be high on the list. Once known for their championship pedigree, the team has fallen to 12th in the Western Conference, sitting just above rebuilding squads like the Spurs, Trail Blazers, and an injury-plagued Grizzlies roster. What’s striking is that the Warriors remain healthy and intact—yet they continue to lose.

Reaching the midway point of the regular season, their subpar record is hard to justify. For a team that not long ago stood at the pinnacle of the league, the drop-off is staggering. The core of the team hasn’t changed, but the results have. BD Cricket Match notes that the departure of longtime GM Bob Myers marked the start of the Warriors’ decline. While Myers himself wasn’t the only reason for their success, his exit left behind unresolved roster challenges.

The Warriors are currently split into two factions: the veteran core—Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney—and the younger players like Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Brandin Podziemski. The entire structure has always revolved around Curry. But when internal cohesion breaks down, the team loses its edge on both ends of the floor.

Right now, the Warriors struggle on offense and are even worse defensively. The young players aren’t seeing enough court time, despite rookie contracts approaching expiration, and the veterans aren’t ready to step aside. That internal tension is hurting the team. According to BD Cricket Match, Klay and Wiggins have mentally checked out—Klay is eyeing a big contract extension, while Wiggins seems indifferent since Jordan Poole’s departure. Draymond’s repeated suspensions have only further destabilized the locker room.

Now more than ever, Curry must assert himself—not just on the court, but in the locker room. He can no longer stay silent as he did during the Durant era. He is the undeniable leader of this franchise, and it’s time he took a more vocal stance to unify the team and spark a turnaround.

Steve Kerr must also look in the mirror. His system, once revolutionary, now appears outdated. He must rethink his rigid rotations and stop clinging to “legacy minutes” for veteran players. The Warriors are no longer in a position to be sentimental. To reclaim their identity, they must become the masters of their present before dreaming about the future.

Golden State is stuck in a paradox: they want to honor their championship vets, but they also need to maximize the potential of younger talent. This indecisiveness has left them adrift. In the NBA, loyalty can only go so far. The Lakers, for example, were willing to part with core players to chase another ring. The Warriors have even better assets, but they lack the same urgency.

At this point, BD Cricket Match believes only two solutions remain: fire the coach or make a blockbuster trade. Since Golden State appears unwilling to part ways with Kerr, trades seem to be the only path forward.

Ultimately, the issue isn’t a lack of talent—it’s a lack of chemistry, effort, and direction. If Curry can’t rally the troops, the front office must intervene and reshape the roster with players hungry to win and committed to playing together. Only then can the Warriors escape their current spiral and return to relevance.
