Golden State Warriors fell victim to the NBA 2023-24 schedule again

At dawn this morning (August 18), the official schedule was announced by the NBA in the media.

As soon as everything was announced, many Golden State Warriors fans reacted because their beloved team once again became a victim of the NBA 2023-24 schedule.

Last season, Stephen Curry and his teammates had to play the most back-to-back games (playing two games on two consecutive days) the most in the NBA. This season they continue to suffer the same situation.

Right in the third and fourth matches of the Regular Season, Golden State had the first back-to-back match when facing the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans respectively (October 30-31).

Looking further into the first 11 games of the Regular Season, the Warriors had 3 back-to-back series.

Playing two matches in two days is an indispensable part of the NBA, bringing with it many calculations of the coaches about personnel, especially with the main players.

In back-to-back pairs, stars who are not in good shape are often given one of two matches by the coach to reduce the load and reduce the risk of injury.

The Golden State Warriors have kept Klay Thompson or before that Stephen Curry in these consecutive matches, allowing the players to recover while creating conditions for the "sub-doubles" to play.

Last season, the Golden State Warriors had a bad record in back-to-back matches. Particularly in the second round of these matches, the win rate of Stephen Curry and his teammates was only 47%.

The two heaviest defeats that the Warriors have received in recent times (lost 30 points to the Brooklyn Nets and 45 points to the Pelicans) also came because of back-to-back matches, where coach Steve Kerr was forced to put away the pillars. column to use sub formation.

With once again having to play the most back-to-back games in the NBA, Golden State fans certainly can't be satisfied with this season's schedule.
