The Golden State Warriors are free-falling right now.
Steve Kerr’s team went undefeated in the preseason and was one of the best teams in the league to start the campaign.
Now, they’ve dropped five games in a row, and while some of those losses have either been close or without Stephen Curry, it’s still worrisome.
With their loss to the Denver Nuggets, they fell to 12-8 and from No. 4 to No. 7 in the Western Conference.
With that in mind, dozens of fans took to social media to react to Legion Hoops’ post about them, sharing their thoughts on what needs to change to get back on track.
The Warriors have now lost 5 straight games… ?

They need to make trades. Trade Podz and Kuminga for a star.

Maybe not have a 48 man rotation

Get a 2nd option maybe

12 man rotations aren't used for a reason and once Kerr locks in a rotation he substitutes regardless of if the player coming out had hit 7, 3's in a row its time to come out, they come out.

Stephen Curry is dealing with a nagging knee injury, and he recently admitted that it might not go away soon.
That has taken a toll on his explosiveness, and he hasn’t been the same dominant scorer he’s been for most of his career.
Brandin Podziemski has also seemingly regressed from his impressive rookie campaign, and Buddy Hield has fallen back to Earth after a scorching-hot start to the season.
Of course, it’s still early in the year, and the Warriors have been competitive even in the losses and better than last season.
Nevertheless, the Western Conference is absolutely stacked right now, and distances between teams are getting narrower by the day.
The Warriors need to wake up from this slump before they keep sliding in the standings.
They’ve already struggled to play catch-up and avoid the Play-In Tournament over the past couple of years, and they won’t want to be in that same position again this year.
