The Golden State Warriors are just not in their right state. Their glory is fading away. This underwhelming performance isn’t what made their legacy. The legendary team has not only let their fans down but the team’s outlook as well. They are just one of many teams who have lost their charm without the team legends on the roster. Klay Thompson’s injury piled up more tension on their performance. Analyst Shaquille O’Neal advices the team to put their guard down and wait for the full strength.

Golden State Warriors went head to head with the Los Angeles Clippers today. However, they fell short and lost as much as by 26 points. This is a huge margin taking into account GSW was on the losing side. Kawhi Leonard had 28 points in the game. Serge Ibaka registered double-double as well. On the other hand, it was disheartening for the Warriors fan base. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins were the top scorers with 15 pots each. The Warriors defence was crippled today. Even their offence was not very influencing. This is a glaring issue that Shaq has pointed out.

The 2019 finalists solidified their ground in terms of long regime to come. But they have utterly disappointed. Being plagued with injuries, their roster fell short of players. Shaquille O’Neal revealed, “We had this conversation a couple of years ago whether the team should or should not do it. I would tank. I would say, ‘Steph, we’re not going to make the playoffs. If we do, we’re going to lose in the first round. Get some rest, let me audition these young guys. Because Klay is coming back soon…” Shaq justified his statement that Klay Thompson’s return would be stronger and better for the Golden State Warriors.
