Via the San Jose Mercury News:
The Warriors have treated the beginning of the regular season as if the end result is guaranteed.
It isn’t.
The Warriors are 3-6, and winless on the road. It’s too early to change expectations, but it’s clearly not too early to create some real problems.
The Dubs need to treat the next few games like something is on the line. That requires the whole team to share that mentality.
It’s time for the Warriors to swallow their pride.
Coach Steve Kerr and his staff need to shake things up. The veterans need to feel a real sense of urgency. The young players need to check themselves. The organization’s higher-ups — all the way up — need to slow their roll.
Even columnists and fans need to re-evaluate why it is they believed success would be so seamless to start the season.
The Warriors’ brass believes in a “two-timeline” plan.
Right now, the Warriors are facing a “no-timeline” reality.
