Priority task to do: win the three remaining games of the regular 2024-25 season. Unfortunately, the Golden State Warriors have already failed the first. Losing against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday launched them in turmoil as they flow from fifth to sixth, and now the seventh position in the West. With this, the playoffs seem distant. Now, the next two games will decide where Stephen Curry & Co. Stand: the playoffs or the game. And theoretically, it’s simple.
“If you win, good things happen.” Jimmy Butler also concluded. But that’s just a theory. At this point, there is no doubt that the West is a mixed waste and among the five teams are the Warriors, trying to keep the rope they could find while they continue to drown in the game in the ranks. Does he only try now? The last two games of the regular season and a positive result on their part.
Now entering the last section of the regular season, the DUB Nation could be in third place, since everything goes favorably for them. Or they could find themselves in eighth place, deeply in the game tournaments, that everyone wants to dodge. Although it is interesting to see how since Butler’s trade, the team looks much better, they continue to lose more than they would like. And while we are entering the last two games, Stephen Curry has a message for his locker room.

The 37 -year -old said after his match, “”We know where we are. We know that each game is important. It has been important for two weeks. And we did a lot to give ourselves a chance to climb high enough, considering where we were before the commercial deadline. And these last two home games are – for various reasons and tonight, two games you want are winning and should have won. And I don’t know how to have an impact on the end where we meet after Sunday. We have two games, we have to win them both. (Let’s see) let’s see what’s going on, I just made it a little hard for ourselves. »»
The warriors are launched on occasion, but since trade, one of the best things that have happened to the team is their Gold resume his confidence. He currently has an average of 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Without forgetting, despite the defenses he had to face since, he dominated on hardwood. In April, 6 games to date, it has an average of around 30.5 points per game on 48% shooting on the field and 41.6% beyond the arc. But still, Golden State did not come to give him the efforts and now they have only 2 chances of ink their name in history books.
With two games to play, “You can somehow reduce it to – it’s 48 minutes on Friday that it will be important. Sunday is the same. We had a very professional approach and a very coherent level in which we played,” Steph underlined.
What looked like a perfectly winning match turned out to be an after-season nightmare for the dubs. From the management of the program 74-88 to the loss of 111-114, Chase Center watched their boys at home fall. However, Stephen Curry, as impressive as still, bypassed 30 points. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green scored 28 and 13 points, respectively. Meanwhile, addressing the media after the match, Curry’s position was clear, and the next two games will be crucial, and winning is the need for the moment.
He also confessed: “Our execution this evening was simply not great, and a good team will rebound and take care of the affairs of the next two, then go from there. So, we must prove that we are a good team.” Curry remains simple: the team maintains a coherent and professional state of mind and remains locked up despite the pressure to reach its target. And Steph seems to have a plan.
Thus, the Warriors face Portland on Friday and the clippers on Sunday. It is clear that none of these rivals will be easy, in particular the, which is fifth in the West and which also seeks a place of playoffs.
At the same time, Stephen Curry did not hide the faults of the Golden State Warriors game. He said that the bad spacing and a failure on his part did considerable damage. They were trying to “Configure a game to get the ball to Jimmy, have an action around,” But failed. “You know, this thing happens. Difficult timing, of course. But that should not honestly be summed up in these three goods, even if we have still had the chance to win, “ Curry has still bypassed.
But for Draymond Green, things are not all bright and sunny. He did not mock the words and underlined the errors that led to the debacle on Wednesday.

So, that’s what happened, the guys.” In other words, in the NBA, if you are too mistaken, the opponents will come back to bite you.
