Kurtenbach: The worst Warriors loss of the season shows a team at a crossroads

Let’s start with the good news:

The Dennis Schröder era — if you can call it an era — can only get better from here.

That’s because Schröder’s first game with the Warriors went as poorly as any game the Warriors have played in recent years.

Golden State lost by 51 to the Grizzlies in Memphis on Thursday night, and that final margin might be more flattering than the Dubs deserved. With just under 4 minutes to play in the third quarter, the Warriors were losing 102-50. They were down by as many as 57 on the night.
