The Warriors’ loss to the Trail Blazers on Sunday was rather concerning on several fronts in regards to Golden State’s title expectations this year. The team was considered one of the top threats in the West to the Thunder’s crown entering the 2025-26 season after the trio of Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green played very well together upon joining forces last spring. But despite a strong start to this campaign the Dubs are now below .500.
Even more concerning was losing in Portland despite a classic Steph Curry performance. The superstar shooter put up 48 points on 16-for-26 shooting, including a whopping 12 three-point makes. He was absolutely scalding and the Blazers, no slouches defensively, had zero answers. It was the type of Curry avalanche we’ve seen many times over the years and it never gets old. This time, however, it was historic.
