The Warriors and their fans aren't used to this kind of frustration and it seems like some people don't know how to deal with it.
Golden State won its first NBA title in 40 years last season and followed it up by setting an NBA record with 73 wins this past campaign.
It was expected the Warriors would cruise to a second straight finals appearance on the back of two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who was the first player to ever unanimously win the honor this season.
That hasn't been the case. The frustration is growing.
The Warriors have dropped two straight games to fall into a 3-1 series hole against the Thunder in the Western Conference finals. In the latest defeat, Golden State was handed a 118-94 drubbing.
Fans don't seem to know what to do now that this seemingly unstoppable monster has proven to be surprisingly mortal. One over-the-top supporter even went so far as to try and pick a fight with "NBA on TNT" analyst Charles Barkley for picking Oklahoma City to win the series.
A man in a hotel bar close to the Thunder's home challenged Barkley to a fight for picking against the Warriors last weekend, according to USA Today Sports. The man was removed from the venue after security was called.
After two seasons of bliss, it's clear that no one knows how to react to the Warriors being on the brink of elimination.
One man who isn't calling it quits just yet is Curry.
"The series isn't over," Curry said after Game 4, according to ESPN. "We've got to believe in ourselves. There's obviously frustration. It's a terrible feeling once again not stepping up and being ourselves and playing our game. But I think we're a special team. This isn't how we're going to go out."
The Warriors are running out of time to play their game. Golden State faces elimination as the series shifts back to California for Game 5 at the Oracle Arena in California and will have to win three straight games to advance to the NBA Finals for the second straight season.
The frustration is mounting. It's up to the Warriors to turn things around and quell the angst.
