Oh boy, the Warriors have been in a bit of a pickle lately. It’s as if nobody wanted to be in Bob Myers’ shoes during these last few days. Can you blame them? It’s like being in the middle of a tornado, but instead of debris, you have Draymond Green causing chaos left and right.
But let’s be real, if you had to choose someone to deal with Draymond’s latest stomping incident, it’d have to be Bob Myers. Draymond wouldn’t want anyone else in his corner for this. And now that we’ve had some time to think about it, this all happened at the worst possible time – Draymond’s contract is just about up, so he’s a free agent this summer.
Talk about adding fuel to the fire. But don’t worry, Warriors fans, Myers is the best of the best when it comes to handling the repercussions of Draymond’s antics. It’s almost like they’re going to have to start paying him danger pay, given the regularity with which Draymond causes controversies.
This begs the question though – what’s going to happen to the Warriors after this season? It’s looking like the end of their dynastic run, which makes these playoffs all the more important. But the Warriors aren’t just valuable because of their history, they’re valuable because of the remarkable people in it.
Draymond is practically the Warriors’ own personal jack-in-the-box, you never know what he’s going to do next. But he’s definitely more important to the Warriors than he is to any other team. Myers, on the other hand, might get offered a lot more money elsewhere, but he would be giving up an integral part of his life if he left the Warriors.
Winning is messy, as Myers said. But Draymond’s suspension and the Warriors’ victory without him all reinforces one thing – the Warriors are better as a team than they are as anything else in the universe. And that’s why Draymond and Myers are so indispensable to this franchise – they understand the messiness of it all.
Sure, Draymond might not stay and Myers might not stay, but they’d both be giving up a lot if they decided to leave. Who wouldn’t miss Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr, and let’s not forget the standards that make the Warriors who they are.
Now let’s talk playoffs. The Warriors won without Draymond, but let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen every day. Curry was on fire, and Looney was able to pick up Draymond’s role on both sides of the court. But they can’t always rely on the non-stars to rise to the occasion.
Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond are the Warriors playoff constants, and they’re going to need them at their best for the rest of the series. Draymond is especially important for when they go back on the road, where the Kings are practically unbeatable.
But let’s not forget that the Warriors are practically unbeatable at home, so it’s currently a 50-50 series. Whoever wins Game 5 will probably win the series, and Curry is putting in more minutes than ever before. He might get tired, but the Warriors need him out there as much as possible.
The Warriors are slightly ahead in the series, thanks to their better shooting percentage from beyond the arc. The Kings have missed quite a few open threes, and the Warriors have been able to take away Sabonis’ lethal dribble-handoff game. But don’t think the Kings are going to let the Warriors keep their rhythm forever.
This series is already full of surprises, and it’s only going to get better, messier, twistier, more exciting, and more compelling. So buckle up and get ready for a rollercoaster ride. And let’s all hope that Draymond doesn’t start another storm anytime soon.
