Prediction: the return of CP3 will End the Warriors Season
Why? Because he's a bad player? No.
The real reason? You know it. I know it. We all know it.
He won't be used right. He'll play too many minutes. He'll play with 3 and 4 guard lineups. He'll play with Steph Curry. And, most importantly, he'll close.
He's undersized and he hurts your defense.
Kerr absolutely loves this guy and was playing him 30 minutes and often starting him prior to injury.
The final results when he returns will cost the Warriors and end their season.
And none of it will be CP3's fault. It all goes back to Steve Kerr and his small ball obsession.

I predict that the rotation/pecking order issues, including CP3 will cost them 5 games.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

The end of the season will be because we do not have enough reliable star power, not because Chris Paul came back and shattered the fragile lineup magic that won us a few games lately.

The good thing CP and Klay will both come off the bench. Should help limit their minutes < 30 mpg
We have to remember CP was coming off the bench and playing < 30 mpg until Dray got suspended. Dray getting suspended really caused a lot of chaos.

Or it will move Klay to PF. The Warriors also just gave two more small guards contracts in Lester & Spencer.
Not exactly the rim finishers that CP3 is used to playing with.

I have had the same worry. The crunchtime CP/Klay/Steph lineups endanger my tv.

Kerr has helped ruin this season. Its plain as the nose on your/his/my/whatever face.
Nothing wrong with people calling it out as opposed to being a blind loyalist and accepting the sucky status quo.
GO Warriors/Lester Quinones!

We only played CP a ton because Draymond was out and we needed that extra ball handler and passer. With that being said, he will play like 20 mins so he'll take those minutes from BP and the others.

CP3 / Klay second unit is gonna be lit.
Also the Warriors could use CP3's steady hand to ward off their all too frequent 4th quarter implosions.

Re: Prediction: the return of CP3 will End the Warriors Season
Geez, can everyone ctfd? Kerr has successfully navigated a motley crew of disparate parts, raw youngsters and declining vets and we've won 9 of our last 11 because of it. #lightyears and #twotimelines is for real.
to King Kerr.

I predict that the return of CP3 will make the Warriors slightly better.

Their numbers should be closer to 30 put together. He was playing 28MPG then, which still put him 5th in most MPG before Draymond got hurt.

cp was at worst our 3rd best player. His minutes should be lower though.

I agree with you, but the problem is fit. He is old, slow and a defensive liability. You pair that with Steph and you have the entire defense break down. Teams had a lot of holes to choose from closing games when those two closed, or worse off when Klay and those two closed. Teams were easily bullying the Warriors in the boards and cooking them matchup wise.
If CP played a limited role and very few minutes with Steph, it would elevate this team further. Instead I'm expecting the corpse lineup to finish a lot of games and then we just have to use Kerr's favorite tactic, hope Steph is a supernova to cover the issues.

If CP played a limited role like 20 mpg he'd be great. But yea it's a safe assumption Kerr will try to get him 30.

I agree with this.
Maybe Wiggins get benched again after some games when Warriors start to lose games with Paul back
