The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs for the past two years. With the departure of Kevin Durant and the injuries of Klay Thompson, the Warriors struggled to win games the last two seasons.

Stephen Curry had an amazing season this year averaging 32 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals on a 48/42/92 shooting split. He's one of the TOP 3 MVP candidate this season and finished third in MVP voting. Still, the Warriors didn't qualify for the playoffs as they lose their final two games in play-in tournament against the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies.

Curry didn't have much help with the Warriors roster he has now. Their second option in scoring is Andrew Wiggins, who had an amazing season with the team, offensively and defensively. After Curry and Wiggins, the Dubs doesn't have a consistent scorer that will help them win games.

Draymond Green, a three-time all star, saw his points per game dipped the past four seasons. He didn't averaged double figure-scoring since the 2017-2018 NBA season. This season, the defensive enforcer just averaged 6 field goal attempts per game. He has a season averages of 7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.7 steals. The points per game was the lowest since the 2013-2014 season.


Green was criticized by many by not taking shots when Curry needed offensive help. His answer for this is somehow true.


In an episode of The Shop: Uninterrupted, Green said people were telling him 'Draymond you should shoot, but If I can get Steph Curry the ball for a f*****g shot, why would I shoot?"

You're actually a f---ing idiot for thinking I should shoot, because I can get him the shot and if he's half open, it's better than anyone else in the world -- if he's half open!"

Here's the clip of the episode:


Draymond just kept it real. It's hard to disagree with him as Curry is arguably the best shooter the NBA have ever seen.
