The Golden State Warriors dynasty might be coming to an end. The Los Angeles Lakers have made a statement with their series win against Stephen Curry and co. Though the 2-time MVP averaged almost 30 points to keep the season alive, the supporting cast did not rise up to the occasion. Fans believe Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, who are a part of the Big 3, are at a point of decline. The Warriors’ front office, however, seems to think otherwise. 

Curry’s consistency in the postseason kept their title hopes alive, bailing out his champion teammates time and again. However, the fans doubt if the trio can win more titles together as new problems arise.

Dropping 50 points in game 7, Curry single-handedly kept the title hopes alive. Anyhow, he couldn’t do the same against the Lakers’ strong defense.

However, the Warriors organization hasn’t lost hope in the Big 3 yet. A report revealed the organization “still believes their core can compete for titles“. Although, the fans have a different perspective.

Fans predict a Warriors’ downfall

Contract extensions seem to be a huge problem for the Warriors in the coming off-season. Thompson, Steve Kerr, Green, and manager Bob Myers are all eligible for a contract extension.
