How can the Golden State Warriors recover from this season?

It’s hard to believe that a team that has been in the Finals consecutively for the past 5 years is dead last in the Western Conference. As of this writing, the Warriors are 9 and 26. This is largely because of injuries of key players such as Steph Curry, D’Angelo Russel, and Clay Thompson, as well as roster changes. Hardcore Warriors fans ask the question we all are thinking. How can the team recover this season? Scott Jay Abraham.

A better question is whether or not they would be able to recover. The way things are going now, it would be impossible for them to reach the playoffs, not when leadership and key pillars of the team are decommissioned because of injuries. It would take miraculous chemistry and skill from the bench to come up with a winning streak that would get the team back on track. Scott Jay Abraham.

Perhaps the team should just sit this season out and not force players into a point of breaking exhaustion. The team should just wait for those who are injured to recover and not risk any other players’ condition by forcing them to play like their playoff lives depend on it. Quite frankly, it’s not going to happen. Scott Jay Abraham.

It would also be a prime moment to scout for new talent or cultivate local talent. Before the Warriors’ historic run at the championships, Curry had already been on the team for 5 years. At the same time, Thompson’s addition to the game during their first championship run created an undeniable impact that led to several championship wins. Perhaps it would be best for the warriors to see if they can further develop their bench or scout out possible recruits for the next season. Scott Jay Abraham.
