They had 7 consecutive games at home and managed to win only two of them. Moreover, they also had two disappointing blow-out losses, which further infuriated the fans. They even held placards that read, “Fire Kerr.”

The Warriors have currently slipped to 12th seed in the West with a poor a 17-20 record. They take on the Chicago Bulls in an away game after their agonizing home game stretch. While the Dubs received all kinds of flak from its fans back home, Stephen Curry had a pleasant surprise from the Bulls fans.

Amid the unwelcoming sight at Chase Center, the Warriors left for their first away game after their 7-game home run. Moreover, several reports suggested that the Dubs front office is on the hunt for a complete roster sweep, by only retaining Stephen Curry.

The Warriors players were shocked to see Dub Nation booing after the blow-out loss against the New Orleans Pelicans. And the scenes were completely different in Chicago. The Chicago fans swarmed The Baby-faced Assassin Stephen Curry ahead of the game as he signed his autograph for the fans in the arena.

The video clip of the marvelous moment made its rounds on social media, and fans can’t have enough of it. They began comparing the 35-year-to Michael Jordan.
