The Warriors have not performed as last year this season, and they may have to take part in the play-in tournament. However, what matters is that the Dubs got enough victories to secure a place in the postseason.
Because, regardless of how they performed throughout the regular season, the truth is that the playoffs are a completely different story. Especially when we talk about a team that has Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson.
Thatās why no one wants to faceGolden State, even if their record wasnāt great. However, the front office reportedly does have a major concern in regard to their roster ahead of theNBA playoffs.

āThat has been a problem for them all season, really, and theyāre worried about it,ā a Western Conference executive told Deveney. āThe players are worried about it, the coaches are worried about it, the front office was. That was why they went and got (Gary) Payton (at the trade deadline).
They have talent on the bench when you have (Donte) DiVincenzo and Jordan Poole, (Jonathan) Kuminga and JaMychal Green, plus Payton. But what they donāt have is chemistry and they donāt have their roles set up. That was so important last year, they had Otto Porter and (Nejmanja) Bjelica, and they had Poole and Payton. They knew what theyād get with each of those guys and they could throw out Moses Moody or Kuminga if they needed. Now you have guys and you just donāt know what theyāre going to give you. That is what they are worried about most there.ā
Well, itās fair to have this concern given how things went this season. But as we said before, their big three has often proven to be enough to succeed. It wonāt be easy this time, but in the playoffs, anything can happen.
