Golden State Warriors 2018-19 Midterm Grades
It is halftime in the 2018-19 NBA season, and the Golden State Warriors are in a precarious position. At 29-14, the Warriors are in solid shape, that is if you are looking at the record and the standings alone.
However, it’s reasonable to conclude that the Warriors are underachieving. This squad has elevated expectations that they are not reaching-not in the regular season at least. For the Warriors, peaking and playing optimum basketball in the middle of January is fine. However, doing it in May and June is better.
Since the ‘Dubs are sacrificing the perceptions of the former for the hardware of the latter, let’s see where they are in the journey.
