The Golden State Warriors lost 125-85 at home to the Boston Celtics on Monday, their worst home defeat with Steve Kerr as head coach.
Steph Curry said that the team need to survive with injuries to Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga.
"Just the idea that we can keep ourselves afloat until we get some guys back can kind of make or break our season to be honest, to keep it real. ... Nobody's counting game-by-game type thing, but a six- to eight-game stretch can kind of define where we are going forward the rest of the season," said Curry.
Curry was only one of two players to hit double figures for the Warriors.
The Warriors are currently in a stretch with eight out of nine games at home.
The team have been linked with frontcourt help in the trade market.
The Warriors are now 21-21 on the season.
