A Difficult Season Awaits the Warriors

It’s a bit unfair to completely judge the Warriors at this point after their second straight blowout loss. In the short term, Golden State just dropped a pair of games against two of the best teams in the league, and their roster is bound to gain greater cohesion over time. Panicking after a pair of losses isn’t worthwhile, no matter how ugly.

The Warriors have deserved some modicum of patience after their sluggish start. Stephen Curry still has an offensive gravity relatively near his MVP peak, even if he hasn’t necessarily shot well early on. Draymond Green should return to the lineup by early January at the latest.
