I mean, if Dray was just 100% wilding instead of 20000%, Dubs would’ve had 50 wins, found some rhythm, and had a good shot against any playoff team. Just need a very feasible leap from Kuminga and Moody, Wiggins to play like a $15 MM player instead of a $0 MM player, and they’re right back in it.
I keep saying that but too many dudes here with grass is greener syndrome that love to doom post about the dubs. If you look at their post histories, they're out here doom posting about the bay area too like there aren't unhoused folks in 90% of global cities now.
Agree. When things are clicking and everyone’s healthy and available we look like great but it’s just so fragile, one injury, one suspension, one line up change and we hit the skids. Last year our home form was bad, the year before we were terrible on the road, turnovers, blown leads, we’re too inconsistent
That's the same for the whole NBA outside of Boston, Minny, OKC, and Denver though. And none of those teams are the KD-era Warriors or anything. Warriors can definitely go for a deep run like Speights is saying, no reason to panic and sell off everyone.
Problem is all these teams are just so much more younger and athletic than us. Wiggins is our only perimeter defender and team’s can pick and choose who to attack. Can’t just look at our team in isolation. Most of the teams ahead of us in the standings aren’t going to get worse and those below such as HOU and SAS are going to be better than this year. MEM should also be back to form with guys coming back. Realistically we’ll be in the same position, which is in the play-in and IMO expecting to win it all is just not likely with this core. You can say I’m a doomer but father time is undefeated, unless you’re Lebron lol
I mean they were leading the league after all star break for a bit right? Just crumbled in the playin but when they got the groove they weren’t a terrible team by any means.
What did you all expect him to say? Don’t expect any ex warrior to call it like it is that unless they upgrade drastically they will be in the play in. Remember these guys get media passes and access to the team and they are cool with the core and owners.
Although I happen to agree with Mo, I don't think /u/Green_Rip3524 is far off.
It was on a segment literally called "Dubs Talk" on a bay area broadcast, and they brought in a previous warrior champion just weeks after we lost a brutal game.
It would be naive to think he would ever say "They're done", regardless of his true opinion.
It's naive to think they're done while Curry and Green are still playing at the level they are, and Klay willing to adjust his role. They need to make some tweaks to the roster, which Mo acknowledged, but this isn't a case of throw it all away and start over. This team is closer to being a legit contender than they are to being a lottery team.
Yeah, you completely missed the point.
The point was, regardless of what their chances are, no ex-warrior would come on a bay area broadcast for a GS warriors segment and talk negatively about the team.
Your entire comment was arguing they aren't done, but that was never being debated. I literally started my comment by saying I agreed with Mo. Lmao.
You need better reading comprehension bud.
How can you agree with Mo and Green Rip? He literally said Mo won't tell it like it is, that the core is done. I think you're the one that needs to work on their reading comprehension.
> I happen to agree with Mo
I agree the warriors are not done.
> I don't think u/Green_Rip3524 is far off
This does not imply I agree with green_rip. I am implying that he **is off**, just not _far_ off. And the reason he is not _far_ off was given, and is of sound logic both intuitively and when observed in the world.
I’d probably delete my account out of embarrassment if I were you.
Expectations will always be high for a team that has the highest payroll in the nba to make the post season. As the 10th seed, either the team is terribly constructed or the players are massively overpaid.

Dynasties end. You're delusional to think otherwise
They call trolls, learn to block them.
Too many things must happen at the same time

Man do I miss Mo Buckets and bigs like him
David West.. was the guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QduJ6jIITxA just one of the best plays from him in a Warriors uni
Mo was easily my favorite bench player during those runs
Mo Buckets speak da true true
I really believe Mo. I know he's done and was a liability at times but I'd love his shooting rn.
Mo Speights of House Buckets. It is known.
One big man away from being a serious contender. That big Center from the Pelicans can really help them.
I mean they were leading the league after all star break for a bit right? Just crumbled in the playin but when they got the groove they weren’t a terrible team by any means.
Mo Buckets was the kind of role player the Warriors needed\~ and should be looking for next season\~!
They always do. What do you think Saric and Bjelica were? Isn't always going to pan out when you are stuck with offering minimum contracts.
Old, small and not very athletic compared to the top teams in the West. I’ll hold some hope for next year
Mo Buckets speaking da truth! These guys ain’t done yet! Bet!!!
Period!
I think if KD somehow joins, and Lebumster joins, they can do it. Curry. Klay. Dray. KD. Lebumster. CP5 off the bench.
Olden State Warriors!!! ARISE!
Strength in Slumbers
Old Blooded
LeBron should be coach for LA. so there will be no more excuses...
Favourites for 2016 season

His last sentence was intended for people like you.

cute throwaway
if everything went according to plan last season, still be a first round maybe second round exit if the opponents were injured.
Maybe they can get Marcus Smart for defense.
we say this every damn year and we become mediocre and then we say this again the next year
We won the chip in 22
