their team is so new that barely any of their players have balled together on the court. they’re gonna have to get used to getting that camaraderie back and it’s gonna take time hence the term “rebuilding.” they have to “rebuild” a team that has fallen due to its many players leaving and new heads arriving.
The team is built though, you mean they have to practice together?
i’m also not speaking for the players on the team, but from a fans perspective. obviously if i were the coach i wouldn’t tell these guys to not try.
If you're a Warriors fan and you started this season saying "this season doesn't matter" when you had 3 all stars and 1 more all star coming back, I don't even know how to respond lol
but isn’t the point of the season to compete for a championship? isn’t that the end goal? as you mention, “of course”’ they won’t this year. no one expects them to win it all given the roster they have.
This logic would say that "the season doesn't matter" for 24 out of 30 teams. Might as well pack it up and not have a sport.
Remember when the 8th seed We Believe Dubs knocked out the 1 seed Mavericks during Dirk's MVP season? That shit mattered, especially to us long time Dubs fans who hadn't even seen them in the playoffs for 13 years before that series. That was probably my favorite sports moment in any sport at that point since the 80's and stayed my favorite moment until the Dubs won the chip 8 years later.
Even though the Dubs are 1-3 right now with Steph out for probably 2 months and Klay out for another 5 months, I'm still hyped for this season. I want to see if the Warriors will play like dogs and act like they want to be there. D-Lo led that trash Nets team last year to the playoffs, I want to see what he can do this year.
We haven't gotten to see the 2 best centers WCS and Looney actually getting to rotate at the 5 together. We haven't gotten to see what Alan Smailagic can do yet, people were comparing his Euro play to Doncic.
If everything falls together and the Dubs scrape up a low seed they could give anybody problems.
