The Golden State Warriors dynasty has taken a hit but they are not finished yet.
The second half of the 2010s was dominated by the Golden State Warriors. Winning more games across five seasons than any other team in NBA history, the Dubs won three titles and became supervillains.
Everyone loved to hate the Dubs. Their flashy playstyle felt like a slap in the face to opponents who simply didn’t stand a chance against a lineup consisting of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
For years, fans waited anxiously for the Warriors dynasty to come to an end. In shocking fashion, the Warriors watched as their team collapsed in the 2019 NBA Finals. Countless injuries occurred and the franchise is still reeling from the loss of Durant over the summer.
Only a few months later, the Warriors sit at the bottom of the league standings with the worst record in the NBA through the first two months. As a result, the Warriors haters have rejoiced and celebrated the downfall of a dynasty.
However, the Warriors are far from being finished. By next season, the Dubs will be a four-headed monster with a top draft pick and a collection of new free agency pickups.
Within the next few months, the Dubs will see All-Star talents such as D’Angelo Russell, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson make their return to the team. Once these three begin to gel together, their offensive output will match that of any other championship-contending squad.
Combine this with a defensive mastermind in Draymond Green and whoever the Warriors decide to select in the 2020 NBA Draft and we have a roster that could become deadly.
The Warriors dynasty is hibernating. It is only a matter of time before this powerhouse team is woken up and begins to take control of the league once again.
