The Golden State Warriors continue to struggle to find wins this season. The team took on the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies in the Monday night clash and took home an embarrassing loss. The Grizzlies stepped on the court without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Marcus Smart and still managed to silence the Dubs in a 116-107 game. However, Stephen Curry wasn’t happy with the officials, as he released some steam after the game.

The Dubs not only played against the handicapped Grizzlies but also possessed a full roster. Draymond Green made his return to the court after his indefinite suspension. Despite having the core three in their line-up, the visitors couldn’t create their magic. Above all, they had the worst defense game of the season. Let’s go into the specifics.

Stephen Curry raises his concern over the legitimacy of 40 FTs

Stephen Curry returned to the Monday night game after taking a break against the Milwaukee Bucks. Even though the Warriors lost against the mighty Bucks, they put up a great fight without Steph. While tonight’s game against the Grizzlies was expected to be a cakewalk, it ended up like an embarrassing blow to the head.

However, Steph was not happy with the loss. During the post-game press conference, raised his concern over the legitimacy of the 40 free throws that were offered to the home side. He also dragged in the Sacramento Kings’ HC Mike Brown into his statement.

Last night, the refs ejected Sacramento Kings HC Brown over his aggressive confrontation during their game with the Bucks. Following the game, he stepped into the press conference with the footage of the game to prove his point. But Steph didn’t seem a big fan of it. Steph straight away expressed his concern verbally. He said, “We gave up 40 free throws. I don’t want to be Mike Brown up here going through them all to see how legit they are.”

Moreover, he also expressed his displeasure in giving away 20 3-pointers, the most conceded by the Warriors this season.

As the Warriors continue to struggle, the future also doesn’t seem to be helpful for their comeback.

Who are the Warriors playing against in their next outing?

The Dubs take on the in-form Utah Jazz in their next outing scheduled on Wednesday night. The Jazz are currently in a red-hot form, with a 5 game-winning streak, and will look to suppress the struggling Warriors.

The only option to bail the Warriors could be the mid-season trade. While there has been a lot of conversation about roping in Pascal Siakam, the Dubs have to pay a heavy price. Since Siakam is looking for a max contract, the teams expecting to trade for him have to free up their cap space.
