The Golden State Warriors have struggled recently, suffering a significant loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, which highlighted their disappointing performance over the past month. After a strong start to the season, their record has dropped to 14-12, with only five wins in their last 15 games.

NBA legend Charles Barkley had previously predicted that the Warriors' success was unsustainable due to their size and shooting consistency. His concerns seem validated as key players Steph Curry and Draymond Green had a notably poor game.
