GSW Dynasty is Over.

[Lockdown504090]

Hyperbole is something that we are never short of here at realgm.

I hear crazier stuff on here than First take tbh.

Warriors are now 11-32 on the road

[ThunderBolt]

Why do so many posters what to be Skip Bayless? Just let the series play out and see what actually happens.

Does it mean a dynasty is over just because the core of the team gets eliminated in the playoffs? Obviously they are nearing the end of the era but not this quick i think. The team was missing its arguably the second best player this season (wiggins), best player missed bunch of games and Poole almost had a season of his rookie version. Klay, Steph and dray all had great seasons individually and have couple of more seasons to go. With right additions to the roster (just like otto potter last season) they are a championship candidate for the next 2 seasons and i think steph has a quiet good chance to win ring no 5. And lastly, Steph is one of those players who will not age until retirement. His competitiveness, durability and of course insane level of shooting will not go anywhere. As long as he is on the team you build around him.
After all, calling the series over would be underestimation and disrespect to this warriors team. They have turned the things around in much tougher situations. They have 2 games at home which will be all about giving a message. And if they take it to game 5 with 2-2, i think they will win the series with that momentum and experience which is built throughout the years.

This feels like a thread that gets bumped until June...

But yeah, if they lose in the first round to the Kings, it's pretty much over. The 2022 title was a nice cherry on top though

[OxAndFox]

trade klay thompson, draymond green and steph curry to the Nets for 10 unprotected first-rounders, 8 swaps, Cameron johnson, nic claxton and mikal bridges and start the full rebuilding.

Don't you put that evil on the Kings

That's what makes this such a great place, no?

And on top of that, it's for free...

[GusFring]

The most lucky, flukiest team in nba history.

Injuries to opponents, a player that swears at refs and nut kicks players often without consequence and the most disgraceful run of moving screens ever.

The league wanted a golden boy and simply created it out of nothing.

Curry wouldn’t get a shot off in the late 80s and early 90s and would barely be a bench spark for most teams.

30 years following this league and never seen anything so laughable as the Warriors.

You're delusional if you don't think curry is an unbelievable talent

[ItsDanger]

It's over, people can't let go. Wasn't go to last forever.

[Bandwagon1]

They played terrible in terms of valuing possessions, but they were within single digits in both games.

[cdubbz]

It's far from over baby. Warriors were awful all season and horrific on the road. Back to back Championships this late in the dynasty is difficult.

Warriors have a chance to reboot this off season with packages involving: Poole, Moody, 19th pick, Sign and trade Green etc.

[1993Playoffs]

Not sure if this core is done. But I do think they will lose this series

[kg01]

Why do so many posters what to be Skip Bayless? Just let the serious play out and see what actually happens.

Can't tell if you're joking or series.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I agree with your sentiment though.

[Mamba Mentality]

Something tells me this thread isnt gonna age well. Should have atleast waited for them to lose a home game first.

[bisme37]

Stop jinxing the beam!

They are only up 2 beams to none!

Bury the Warriors when they're dead.

[Birth of the Cool]

I don't know if their Dynasty is over, but they are low key an unlikeable team now. When they first came up I think people loved that they played differently, had a nice superstar in Curry, had home grown talent and built their roster up to a Championship team.

Now after years of winning and being in the spotlight, we see how much of a dirty player/petulant child Green is, see how much of a sore loser that Klay is, some people don't like Iggy and how he did Memphis dirty, Poole being a bit of a primadonna, Lamb rape allegations, Kerr's holier-than-thou hypocrisy shtick.

They have that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain vibe now.

Preach, Preach!

But you can't luck and fluke your way to 4 rings though, no matter how you try to argue against it. I can understand getting 1 lucky ring if you insist, but 4? That's not a fluke.

Kyrie and Love injured in the first finals against the Cavs, then signing KD to win two more and the last against the young Celtics.


Warriors winning 4 is the same as Nash being gifted 2 MVPs back to back.

[CobraCommander]

Lmao, nobody is trading Steph. Draymond likely opts out to be with his BFF LeBron and Klay or Poole might get traded. Retool, not rebuild.

Last run for the core trio being together but you can still build a team with Steph.

It’s not over - Steph too damn good- retool with Wigs, Curry and Possibly Poole- get Dray out and replace him with talent and they back in the mix

Klay also can’t be your second best scoring threat anymore

A team down 0:2 in a playoff series --> Realgm kneejerk thread.

I've seen this every year since I joined this board in 2015.

Kings have 93% chance of success. People who complain about hot takes or whatever need a statistical reality check.
