The Golden State Warriors still have four All-Star caliber players, and it’s not fair to say their dynasty is over after one injury-prone season.

Everyone is saying the Golden State Warriors are burnt toast and should just be pushed by the wayside and forgotten about. That’s just not the case as Golden State is down but far, far from out.

After being easily defeated by the Anthony Davis-less Lakers, many opinions started to surface on whether or not LeBron has finally taken down the Warriors dynasty that has spanned for about six years.

The Warriors, in the Finals, have defeated James’ Cavaliers three times while James got the better of his Western Conference foe just once. Now, after a pitiful regular-season commencement, the helpless Warriors are done? The dynasty is over?

No, it’s not, and people need to stop acting like it.

“LeBron James ends Warriors dynasty once and for all,” SB Nation’s LA Lakers’ blog titled their recap article. That is rather… interesting. Wait, that’s not all. Here’s a little more as Sports Illustrated actually asked if LeBron has won this rivalry, a rivalry not yet over.

The Warriors are 2-10 and have the league’s worst defense. It’s not surprising as the start to this season was also going to difficult with Klay Thompson out. However, with Stephen Curry out at least three months, the times have become that much more challenging.

There will be a comeback though.

Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green will all be under 33 at the start of next season. They’ll still have two years with all three in their prime with D’Angelo Russell and a lottery pick in their system as well.

There’s no denying that this season hasn’t started the way Golden State wanted it to. They were hoping that Curry could single-handedly keep them in contention until Thompson return. With that not an option, they will be one of the league’s worst teams.

But, fear not, Dub Nation. They will be back, and they’ll be ready to re-write these headlines.
