Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson. Draymond Green. Kevon Looney. Andrew Wiggins. One would expect the Golden State Warriors are ready to go for next season, considering they have had a solid couple of seasons. However, due to injuries, miscommunications and various other factors, such is not the case.
What went wrong for Golden State Warriors?
After winning the title in 2018 and finishing second in 2019, things were all hunky dory for Steve Kerr’s indomitable forces. They reached the NBA Finals for five consecutive seasons, from 2015-2019. Led by the surging duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors looked like they were never going to stop. But things eventually took a turn for the worse.

For nearly a decade, the Dubs played fearless basketball and developed an exclusive sporting culture that their franchise became famous for. They specialized in precision, mainly from outside the 3-point zone. However, a sudden heap of injuries left the Warriors in ruins. The departure of Kevin Durant did not help their cause, and left Stephen Curry fending for himself and the team. It was an abysmal couple of seasons for the California based side, who did not make it to the playoffs on either occasion.
