"As the kids say, we're very mid" - Steph Curry gets honest as Warriors fall to .500

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. Speaking after the game, Curry expressed his honest assessment of the team's performance this season.

Curry's remarks come as the Warriors fall to a .500 record. While he expressed hope and confidence in the team's bouncing back, he acknowledged how poorly the team has been performing and the tough task ahead.

"As the kids say, 'We're very mid right now.' We're just very average. I think we understand that better days can be ahead. We're not that big of a hold in the Western conference ... you can make up a lot of ground pretty quickly. It's a tough task," Curry said postgame.

The Warriors' (16-16) 113-95 loss to the Cavs was their fourth loss in five games. Against the Cavs, they struggled with their shooting, and the East's number one seed frustrated their offense with good defending.

The Warriors shot 24-of-61 (39.3%) from the field and 9-of-38 (23.7%) from the 3-point line. In contrast, the Cavs shot 26-of-49 (53.1%) from the field and 18-of-47 (38.3%) from beyond the arc.

Curry himself had an off night. He ended the game with 11 points, two rebounds and three assists. The Warriors' best player of the night was fourth-year guard Moses Moody, who scored 19 points, one assist and two rebounds.
