Warriors must recover from worst franchise setback since D-Rose injury

Throughout Steve Kerr’s tenure as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, comparisons have been made with the 1990’s Michael Jordan Bulls.

But, because of what happened in their most recent run, they’re looking much more like the D-Rose Bulls and they’re going to need Steph and Draymond to step up this season to lead them back to the playoffs.

When Derrick Rose tore his ACL during the 2012 season, he was averaging 21.8 points per game (ppg) and 7.9 assists per game, per Basketball-Reference. He was the focal point of their offense on a top-rated defensive team, and he was the reigning MVP from 2011.
