Let's be honest with ourselves for a quick second: the Golden State Warriors are really bad this season. There is simply no other argument to be made for a team that lost by 50 points to the bumbling Toronto Raptors. But if nothing else, as long as Steph Curry is healthy, the Golden State Warriors are rip-roaring fun.
Take Friday's 107-110 loss against the woebegone Washington Wizards with Steph Curry on the court. Golden State might be in the middle of an absolute tailspin this season, but they sure know how to have fun in the middle of this tank job:

That's a game-winning H.O.R.S.E. shot at any level. It's also probably why the refs looked the other way when it came to calling basket interference. They were probably just as confused that the basket went in.
Even Andrew Wiggins can't get out of the way of Steph Curry's unbridled joy. This team knows its season is lost, and they're chalking it up as a development year for their young pieces like Wiseman, Oubre, and even Wiggins himself.
But in spite of the litany of speeches given out by Steve Kerr, Draymond Green, and Steph, this team just oozes joy and charisma every time they take the court. Win or lose, it seems like someone on the Warriors has a fun night every night, and in a lost season, you can't really get much better than that.
As for concrete instead of moral victories, Warriors fans hope that those come back to stay when Klay Thompson returns to the lineup. After all, it wasn't all that long ago with Steph, Klay, and Draymond took a team of solid role players to the NBA promised land. Sub out a fading Andre Iguodala for Kelly Oubre, Jr. and an old Andrew Bogut for James Wiseman, and this team could return to its former glory as soon as next season.
At least, it had better do that, if these fun times are to last beyond this year.
