Episode notes
INSIGHT

End of Warriors' Dominance

  • The Warriors' 2022 title felt like the true end of their dominance due to injuries and an uncertain future.
  • Even at full strength this year, they finished low with a 10th seed, signaling a clear decline from their dynasty days.
INSIGHT

Need a Strong No. 2 Player

  • Stephen Curry can still lead a title team but likely needs a stronger No. 2 player alongside him.
  • Clay Thompson or Andrew Wiggins can't fill that second-best player role to push the team over the top.
INSIGHT

Rim Protector and Playmaker Needed

  • The Warriors lacked a true secondary playmaker or scorer to relieve Stephen Curry's burden.
  • Adding a quality rim protector and ball-handler could shift the team's competitiveness even if it doesn't vault them past top teams.
