While the Warriors have returned to the courts, they hope to taste the ring again at the end of this new season. However, for this leader, this team is far from being able to claim the final, or even the playoffs.
After several months of absence, the Warriors and a certain Steph Curry have finally made their return to the NBA. Blame it on injuries, Steve Kerr’s men had a nightmare season last year, and did not receive an invitation in the bubble: a very complicated thing for players to experience.
So inevitably, things may change in 2021. The Dubs have a fairly interesting workforce, and Curry is highly motivated. The playoffs? Only a step for them, since they have every intention of winning a new title at the end of this season.
Unfortunately for Golden State, not everyone shares their optimism. Some are more cruel to them, such as this leader who spoke anonymously about the potential of the California franchise. For him, no doubt: impossible to reach a place in the playoffs, especially in the West.
An NBA exec says the Warriors have almost “no shot at the playoffs”
“I think they have almost no shot at the playoffs,” the exec said. “Unless Draymond has a renaissance, Steph might be everything that he’s ever been and they still might not make the playoffs.”

I think they have almost nothing for the playoffs. Unless Draymond (Green) experiences a rebirth, Steph might be the only hope, and it might not be enough to reach the playoffs.
A rather hard observation for the Dubs, who still have a lot of assets despite the loss of Klay Thompson. The key ? The contributions of Kelly Oubre Jr and Andrew Wiggins, who will have to quickly find their bearings. Otherwise, it is true that the Warriors will struggle to win a new ring.
The Warriors far from the playoffs? It sounds crazy, even in the West. But in the event of failure, no scenario should be ruled out.
