The Golden State Warriors suffered an embarrassing 40-point loss on their home floor to the Boston Celtics on Monday, Jan. 20. The loss is the latest stumble for the Warriors, who currently sit 11th in the Western Conference with a 21-21 record.

The 2024-25 campaign has been a struggle so far for the Golden State Warriors, as they have crawled out to a 21-21 record through their first 42 games. And with things not looking likely to get better anytime soon, NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor suggested it's time for the team to trade Stephen Curry.

I spent my Monday afternoon watching the Warriors get obliterated by the Celtics — a 40-point loss, wire-to-wire domination, and a stark reminder of just how far Golden State has fallen. One thought kept creeping into my mind: The path Boston took to become the powerhouse it is today is the exact lesson Golden State needs to learn.
