In the process of rebuilding, the Bulls registered a record of losing 8 straight games while on the road. They failed to make it to the playoff that season, marking the end of their dominance in the 90s.

Fans were quick to state it was hard to ignore the similarity between the Warriors and the 1998-99 Bulls. However, the major difference is that the Warriors’ core group is still intact. Despite this, the only player with championship-like stats is two-time MVP, Stephen Curry. Players like Jordon Poole, Kevon Looney, and Andrew Wiggins have shown sparks of good play, but this hasn’t been consistent. Also, Klay Thompson is still looking for his rhythm.

Following the loss, head coach Steve Kerr compared the team’s performance to a Drew League team’s performance. He said, ?We lack collective grip.? The Warriors have won 6 games and lost 9 in total. Fans are desperately praying for the Warriors to regroup and find their form back.
