The Golden State Warriors are Finished
Yes yes I know the rumors of the Warriors demise have been largely publicized since basically last year and running all season long to this point of the NBA’s 2023 2024 League year but there is good reason for that the Warriors are straight ass and have been playing like such for the vast majority
Of now two full seasons and while the Warriors are fresh off of a dismantling of Charlotte to extend to a three-game win streak their hold on a potential playoff spot is tenuous at best and while the Warriors did slide their way into the second round of the playoffs
Last year after clearing a very hard-fought seven game series against the Sacramento Kings before ultimately bowing out at the hands of a familiar foe LeBron and his Lakers Squad in the second round four games to two behind a predictable astronomical free throw disparity the Warriors realistically weren’t going anywhere last season and
They are going even less places this one I mean sure they did address their chemistry issues this off season as they traded Away Jordan P who Draymond Green punched in the face last summer and to Green’s credit he has managed not to punch any other teammates in in the face
So far this season what he hasn’t managed to do is show any semblance of control in his oncourt actions as he continually finds a way to get himself either suspended or kicked out of a large amount of games first was the suspension for dragging Rudy gobear around the court by his neck earlier
This year then of course he was suspended indefinitely by the NBA league offices less than 24 hours following striking Yousef nurkic in the face and we haven’t seen this level of sustained thuggish behavior from one player on a consistent basis since bill lambir was roaming the league with the bad boy
Pistons nearly 40 years ago green though would ultimately be reinstated by the NBA after just a 12-game absence and doing the hard work on himself but green was recently ejected again in less than 4 minutes of the Warriors game against the magic and Steph Curry looked damn
Near on the verge of tears likely because golden state is desperate to win games right now as they stand on the cusp of falling out of the playoffs all together no no not the playoffs like the play in tournament completely and this is despite the Warriors experiencing pretty good luck in the health
Department this season as other than green due to the suspensions and Chris Paul who is predictably always hurt the Warriors core players have missed only a handful of games but it just hasn’t resulted in any semblance of cohesion or Traction in terms of putting together any kind of a sustained win streak
Golden State just isn’t good anymore and a massive change is needed in the off season an off seon which is rapidly approaching all of a sudden as they have been flirting with that 10 seed literally all season long at the end of November the warriors were just 9 and 10
And in the 10th spot at the end of December they were only 15 and 17 and in the 11th spot on the final day of January they had dropped to 20 and 24 and into the 12th Spot while the last day of February saw them finally break 500 at
31-27 but that was still just good enough for you guessed it the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings and now with one game for them remaining in the month of March which will be at and all of a sudden surging San Antonio Spurs the Warriors find themselves at 39
And 34 and yes still in that 10 spot but danger Golden State objects in the mirror are closer than they appear and that object in their rear view mirror is the hou Houston Rockets who are surging while the Warriors are just six and four in their last 10 games the Rockets are a
League best 10 and0 speaking of League bests the Houston Rockets have the best record in the entire month of March as they have posted a 13-1 mark this month with one game remaining their only blemish this month is a six-point loss against the LA Clippers all of them this
While the Golden State Warriors are just eight and seven this month and now the Rockets find themselves just one game behind Golden State and the two of them have a date in Golden State on April 4th so while it seemed almost a foregone conclusion the warriors were on a
Collision course with the Lakers in what would amount to an elimination game in the 9 V10 playin spot it seems likely now that eeme DOA is going to crash this party and likely for the best for Golden State just tear that Band-Aid off while Steph Curry is still clearly playing at
An elite high level this season it is obvious that the end is certainly upon us for this iteration of the Golden State Warriors massive and substantial turnover will now be needed this off seon for Golden State if they have any delusions of extending their Championship window with the babyfaced
Assassin and we have not seen really any elite alltime players rebuild midcareer with the same team and continue to win as really only one comes readily to mind but Curry will be tasked with doing it at the wrong end of the age of 35 next season all of this to say enjoy this
Stretch run now from Golden State over the next 2 weeks because it is without question the official end of a dynasty
The Warriors have been CLINGING on to the 10th and final spot in the playin tournament all season long. But with the Rockets SURGING behind Ime Udoka, it is becoming increasingly likely Golden State will miss the playoffs altogether…which will signal the end of an era.

Anyone else think steph is going to be done in golden state?
Watching green get tossed out a game at 6-6 in the first quarter was hilarious. Like, dude…. it's the first quarter and no team even has 10 points how are you this unhinged? Lmao
Steph somewhat mirrors Kobe's last mvp season. He grinds and play massive minutes, just to push his team in a playoff spot much like kobe in 2013. The GSW should make an adjustment and rebuild their squad.
Draymond only attacks non black players 😂
L take
Green destroyed the dynasty
Draymond is the Rodman of this era, to an extent
The Bulls had the best RUN ever. Won two 3peats and then ended their dynasty (Even if they didn't want to at that time). They ended that dynasty at the very top of the league with the very best player ever on a Cinderella championship.
While the Warriors are like the Prom king and Queen in high school 20 years later. Still trying to re-live their best years in the past til today. Someone needs to tell them its time to stop and move forward cause I feel bad for Steph as he is the only one actually who can still get things done.
I watched a playoff game last year, phoenix and Denver I think. The worst 5 minutes of basketball I've ever seen. No hustle, no defense. All I saw was 3 point shots. It resembled a light practice game, absolutely nothing like a playoff game I watched growing up in the 90s. I have zero interest in the NBA
Draymon is just a plant to guarantee the Warriors won’t win again
Curry’s two weakness, FT differential and Bias Ref
Yo Skap, I know you have seen the Diddy case going on. Can you go in on the fact that nobody is really bringing up the video of Lebron actually endorsing "Nothing like Diddy parties" comments and why majority of folks are silent about being complicit and the "King" being complicit as well. Much appreciated and keep up the good work
I don't hate Draymond I'm just surprised that no one has stood up to or at least thrown hands with him.
I’m still happy that Curry and the Golden State Warriors are the one why all of you can’t call Lebron a goat, and own this era… ❤🎉 I am ok whoever wins. Whatever it takes not to have Lebron’s 5th ring
A bit sad that Curry wasted the last of his gas on this sorry has-been team. I imagine that his decline will be steep.
Free Throw Attempts Differential 2023 & 2024:
30. GSW: -646 (Last),
2.NYK: +358
1. LAL: +1017
Maybe talk about that…
Are you high, Skap Attack? Bill Laimbeer has NEVER been ejected or hit with Ts as the classless loser known as Draymond Green. Stop hating on the wrong players, OK? And I would add that DG has gotten away with tons of fouls and non-suspensions for really dirty plays. SEE THE VIDEOS before you open your dumb mouth again.
I don’t feel Bad this Is the Team that Let KD walk,Dissed him(at a Championship Parade)Traded a Young Player Who was Assaulted(not the Striker)They Reaping what they sowed Bc Had They Kept KD they’d Won More
Draymond low-key helping LeBalco, last year when they faced in the playoffs, the Donkey committed stupid fouls that hurt the momentum of GSW. I just wish they trade him to thw Lakers so he can help LeBron in the same team, not hurting the warriors by secretly helping the Lakers whenever they face
90s had the best uniforms.
Draymond has become a cancerous distraction.
Draymond really folded Poole smh
The Warriors have to be frank. They either concentrate on rebuilding, with Curry as a mentor, or they go all in and be an underdog for the chip, with Curry as their centerpiece. I said underdog because pulling off amazing trades and signings to propel them into a favorite is impossible.
The Warriors schedule is looking pretty scary. I hope they know what they're doing.
2:12 THAT PUNCH!!! How a child thinks you throw a punch 😂🤦♂️👍.
I was so disappointed when the trade deadline came and went and both Chris Paul and Draymond Green were still on the roster. I thought for sure that the Chris Paul move was made in order to trade him away for whatever position they needed to improve at for their playoffs run, and instead they kept him even though he's barely even playing and Podziemsky has been doing great. And then Draymond hasn't been doing much for years and he still acts as if he was any good while destroying team chemistry. When you add that Klay Thompson needs to retire if he wants to safeguard whatever's left of his legacy because the way he's been playing, he looks like one of those guys who just had a good 5-year run and hopes that's all we'll remember.
Dray wants his buddy, lebron, (or either the other way around) to NOT face the warriors on the play in.
The best team of this generation is coming to an end, one of the best dynasties ever is coming to an end, and you might be asking yourself how in the hell during the time of the so called GOAT there is a dynasty going on that wasent his, how there was a Best team of this era and he was not on it?? I mean something is not adding up, and I have a lot of questions… 🤷
They been done lucky to have every superstar hurt in the west win the won their last chip
Their system is outdated, predictable, why they still use it😂 every team has variety of plays, unlike their shoot 3 all day plays😂lol
idk that 2022 chip was already a rebuild chip.
Just think of how good they'd still be if they got rid of Mr triple single after that cheap shot. I mean you didn't like Poole? Cool, but you needed to get rid of that locker room cancer known as Ms Quadruple single before Poole. Oh well I wasn't so much a Warrior fan as much any team that can beat the LABum Blames team.
Curry almost in tears because he confirmed how Draymond serves as double agent for Lebron. Lebron is scared to face Curry in the Play-In
draymond is a fake tough guy in a era of cupcakes. put him in a era with oakley mason vernon maxwell derrick coleman and shaq.. watch he becomes the perfect professional who never steps out of line
Dray is Cray. Time to go.
Green's idiotic distractions and Wiggins absences have really affected the team this year.
Donkey sold his team for his Queen Leflop
Green's foot stomp was justified though given his foot was being held. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
One of the reasons for Green acting this way is, all these other grown men allowing it, period!!!
IT IS A COMPLETE CRAP!!!
Draymond is a locker room cancer and total ass on the floor. I don't get why Warriors are sticking to him at this point.
Let go of the donkey
I would've gotten rid of Green instead of Poole in a heartbeat. They need to get rid of Chris Paul as well and possibly Clay and try to get a couple of good veteran free agents
LEBALCO JAMES AND DRAYMOND GREEN NO WONDER THEY ARE WITH KLUTCH Sports bunch of frauds
GS need to trade everyone but curry and stop wasting what’s left of his prime years
Green the epitome of feminine energy
I went and looked up the free throw disparity, not expecting much, but 80 to 160 is shocking to say the least
