It’s that time of the season again when the doubters’ narrative makes the most noise, only to be embarrassed once again when the Larry O’Brien Trophy is placed in the Chase Center display case. The Warriors organization has become accustomed to all the noise.

The Golden State Warriors President of Basketball Operations and General Manger, Bob Myers, believes this team will silence the doubters’ narrative once again.

Bob Myers joined Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin and Festus Ezeli during Warriors Pregame Live before the team’s heartbreaking 122-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

"“Well, the thing I said last year about this group was, let’s let them try to win the whole thing until somebody proves them wrong or knocks them off, and so it’s the same thing this year, through all the ups and downs, the rollercoaster season, we have not been healthy, and let’s see someone beat those guys.” Myers went on to say, “I feel like we’ve got as good of a chance as anybody.”"

The Warriors were 18-2 in their first 20 games last season, then 42-17 before the All-Star break. The Dubs went 11-12 in the  final 23 games to finish as the West’s third-seed behind the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies. Golden State will need to duplicate that record in reverse to be seeded in the top five, with the team engrossed in repeating the unlikely championship of last season.

With Andre Iguodala making his final curtain call, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Moody continuing to develop, the veteran leadership of Donte DiVincenzo, and the contribution of Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb, the defending champions are fixated on the their coveted goal of getting their fifth championship in nine seasons.

Next. Golden State Warriors may have dodged a bullet with NBA champion. dark

The Warriors only need to qualify for the playoffs to have a shooter’s chance to keep the Larry O’Brien Trophy in San Francisco. With their immersed playoff experience, odds are they are about to do it again.
