Golden State Warriors get mercilessly mocked by NBA fans after dropping in standings again following loss vs New York Knicks

The Golden State Warriors had an opportunity to maintain their place in the Western Conference standings on Monday against the New York Knicks. However, they had no answer for Jalen Brunson, as they dropped to 10th place after a 119-112 loss. NBA fans added salt to the wounds by mocking Golden State.

Steph Curry kept the Warriors afloat with 27 points, five rebounds and five assists, but the Knicks were just better at executing in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson dropped 34 points and seven assists on them while allowing 29 points to Miles McBride.

Andrew Wiggins had a quiet game, with Klay Thompson, Trayce Jackson Davis and Chris Paul providing some spark off the bench. The good news for the Warriors is that things will get easier, as they have the third easiest schedule remaining in the NBA.

With their loss on Monday and a win by the LA Lakers, the Golden State Warriors are back to 10th in the Western Conference. NBA fans didn't forget to mock the Warriors, who have been on the Play-In Tournament spots since the season resumed after the All-Star break.

One fan pointed out that the Warriors not a real threat and are just giving their fans false hopes:

"After some false hopes on Saturday, the Warriors are quickly reminding everyone that they are strictly a 10-seed one and done team this season."

One fan is very critical of Steve Kerr's decision to give Brandin Podziemski more minutes despite his struggles:

"Why is the $17.5m coach not make in-game adjustments??? Knicks bludgeoning the Warriors!!! Yank Podz out!!!"

Another fan is baffled that the Warriors do not have a concrete closing lineup at this stage of the season:

"Seems crazy that we don't have a closing lineup almost 70 games into the season lmao. We're cooked."

Here are other reactions and memes on X to the Warriors' loss to the Knicks:

Golden State Warriors' schedule for the rest of the season

What does the Golden State Warriors' schedule look like?

The Golden State Warriors have 15 games left before the start of the NBA Play-In Tournament. They are 10th in the Western Conference, and it's looking more likely that they would need to win the Play-In Tournament to have a shot at the No. 8 seed in the postseason.

Despite their inconsistencies in their last 10 games, the Warriors have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way. They have seven games against teams with a worse record than them, like the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers.

However, Golden State will also need to dig deep and get wins against teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, Maimi Heat, LA Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans.
