The Golden State Warriors have been blown out in their first two games and people are starting to wonder if their dynasty is officially over. But for former NBA player and ex-Warrior Baron Davis, it's too early to count the Dubs out, per TMZ.
“I wouldn't count them out … it's too early. Always judge a team after the first 20 games. After 20 games, you'll know where everybody stands and where they going.”
The Warriors lost a lot of their key players from last year's roster. Kevin Durant decided to join the Brooklyn Nets, then the team decided to trade Andre Iguodala and waive Shaun Livingston. Golden State acquired a lot of young guys in the offseason, and they admit that it will take some time before the newcomers learn their system.
Stephen Curry has been doing everything he can to help the team remain competitive. He's averaging 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists through the first two games. However, he's shooting the ball poorly with a 39 percent clip from the field, including a horrendous 20% from behind the 3-point line. He's not expected to be this bad for an entire season, so expect him to find his rhythm soon.
Still, Davis has a point. People are just not used to seeing the Warriors get off to a slow start. But only time will tell if they will be able to bounce back from two blow out losses. They still have 80 games left, so there's plenty of time for them to figure things out and turn the season around.
As the old adage says, never underestimate the heart of a champion.
