The Golden State Warriors will be frisky this year, that much is clear. Buoyed by an infusion of youth (and counterbalanced by a ton of inexperience), the Dubs are a vastly different product on the court, in this season of sweeping change. Gone are the days of the Warriors overlooking teams entirely, so confident in their latent talent and skill. The downside? These Warriors, as presently constructed, are no longer the juggernaut they once were. Against a Clippers team that is undoubtedly among the best in the league, the Warriors put up a fight for about 2 quarters before getting run out of the gym in the second half, taking a 141-122 loss in the process.
Frisky, But… (Warriors 122, Clippers 141)
