The Golden State Warriors aren't currently in a place where they can reasonably contend for a title, and Sunday night's loss to the Trail Blazers was the latest reminder of this fact. The sooner the Warriors fan base and the front office comes to this conclusion, the better.
Against Portland, Stephen Curry scored 48 points and made 12 three-pointers, but it wasn't enough as Golden State fell 136-131. It was the first time in NBA history that a player made at least 12 three-point shots but their team still lost the game. This result should serve as a wake-up call that the Warriors don't currently have enough supporting pieces around Curry to actually go deep in the playoffs.
