The Golden State Warriors will suffer an early playoff exit

The Golden State Warriors may have struggled, sure, but this is still a team that has immense talent and one that should still be able to make the postseason. They will somewhat right the ship during the second part of the season but I still believe that this is a team that will suffer an early playoff exit.

I predict that the Warriors will lose in the first or second round of the playoffs. It will be viewed as a disappointment and it will prompt some major questions that this team will have to answer about its future during the offseason.

Even though there hasn’t been a truly consistent threat in the Western Conference this season, perhaps with the exception of the Denver Nuggets, I believe that the Warriors will enter the playoffs extremely vulnerable. And those vulnerabilities will open the door for their postseason demise.
