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.
Thatâs why no one wants to faceGolden State, even if their record wasnât great. However, the front office reportedly does have a major concern in regard to their roster ahead of theNBA playoffs.
Warriors fear lacking chemistry on the bench ahead ofplayoffs

âThat has been a problem for them all season, really, and theyâre worried about it,â a Western Conference executive told Deveney. âThe 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 donât have is chemistry and they donât 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 theyâd 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 donât know what theyâre going to give you. That is what they are worried about most there.â
Well, itâs 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 wonât be easy this time, but in the playoffs, anything can happen.
