The Warriors rank 29th in third-quarter net rating since Steph Curry's injury—what's causing their collapse?

The Denver loss starts the table. Kevin walks through a Warriors first half that looked solid, then points to the third quarter as the trouble spot since Steph Curry went out with runner's knee. The worry is practical, not dramatic. If Curry is trying to make it back for the Rockets game on Easter Sunday, is five games enough room? St. Jean keeps giving the Warriors credit for effort. He does not like teams around the league sitting players, but he respects that Golden State is still competing through a long year. The schedule is not helping. Denver was hard enough, and the next back-to-back with Cleveland and San Antonio sounds brutal. Cleveland gets a scouting pass of its own. St. Jean sees the talent, especially in Mobley, but wonders about the motor and whether that group always plays hard enough. That brings him back to Podziemski as the contrast: some players glide, and some live at the next level every possession. Injuries keep pushing into the conversation. Al is still out, Post goes down, and Moses Moody's injury becomes part of the same availability issue. Moody gets real affection here. His overtime steal on Cooper Flagg is remembered as one of the season's best plays, with the injury making a big moment feel much heavier. The analysis keeps circling effort. The hosts do not shrug off winnable losses, but they separate bad breaks from bad habits. That is where the show lives. Curry's return window, coaching memory, player temperament, and whether the roster is still doing its job all stay in the mix. The close gets personal and loose, with an Oakland toughness story and some family trash talk giving the basketball talk one last old-radio grin before signoff.
