The Golden State Warriors are in a tough spot right now. With Steph Curry out for at least another week due to his lingering knee injury, the Warriors are a bit lost on the court, losing their last two games after falling on Monday in a demoralizing loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

They blew a big halftime lead and were simply outmatched in every facet of the game in the second half in that 114-101 loss. As March gets underway and the regular season approaches its final month and a half, the Warriors will only be able to afford so many of those slip-ups.

After the loss to the Clippers, Al Horford addressed the Warriors' approach to dealing with this type of loss in his postgame press conference and assessed the mindset they'll need for the rest of the season.

"I think that the biggest thing in a season, and this holds true more than ever, is you can't get too high or too low. You have to be able to stay the course. Right now, where we are, we obviously lost this one. Now, we have to find ways to be better and get ready for the next one. We're moving onto Houston and seeing how we can go in there and compete and get a win."

The next two games, in particular, will be challenging, with road tilts against the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder on the horizon. Especially with Curry remaining out, the Warriors will have to tap into some of that team-oriented magic they found in their recent wins over the Nuggets and the Grizzlies.

Currently, Curry is set to be out until at least March 11th. He'll be re-evaluated around that date, and if the pain in his knee has subsided enough, then he should be ready to go. Before then, the Warriors will have played three road games and a home game.

First, there's a trip to Houston on Thursday and to Oklahoma City on Saturday for battles with two Western Conference contenders that are both 7-3 in their last 10 games. Then, the Warriors get what should be a much easier pair of games with a road contest against the Utah Jazz, then a home game against the Chicago Bulls 24 hours later. Those two teams can be surprising, though, even if their recent records suggest otherwise.

Right now, the Warriors are 31-30 and remain the 8th-seed in the Western Conference. Realistically, the Warriors are likely to go 2-2 in this four-game stretch and would thus maintain the 8th-seed, but it wouldn't be exactly comfortable.

The focus has been on jumping up to the 7th, or even the 6th seed, but that gap is ever-widening. In fact, the worry might be coming from the team right behind the Warriors. The Clippers are now only 1.5 games behind the Warriors, and falling to the 9th-seed would create a whole new world of problems in the play-in.

Curry will stabilize the team when he can return, but it might be a bumpy road to get to that point for the Warriors.
