The next couple of months will be very important to the Golden State Warriors, as they battle to return to the playoffs even after a very troubled start to the season.
Some people think the team can pull it off but others think it might be too hard.
Timothy Legler was on the latest episode of Get Up and made his opinion clear: he doesn’t believe the Warriors are going to get far.
Legler said:
“Best case scenario: a first-round loss. Worst case: a Play-In loss. I just don’t see Golden State making that kind of a run. They’re too small, they’re not good enough defensively, and they have too many guys just performing below their career norm.”
“They’ve been better of late, but when you look at the Western Conference…I just don’t see Golden State winning a series,” he added.

Over the last few weeks, the Warriors have looked a lot better and have racked up a few impressive wins.
Stephen Curry has remained incredible, Jonathan Kuminga has continued to thrive, Brandin Podziemski has done very well, and others like Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Klay Thompson have started to look even better.
For many, that is a sign of the team turning things around and getting into playoff mode.
But there are others who believe they have dug too deep a hole for themselves and there is no way to get out.
Plus, the Western Conference is tougher than ever this year and they will face some stiff competition if they reach the Play-In Tournament or the playoffs.
The Warriors have surprised people in the past and overcome the odds.
Will they do it again this year or will Legler’s prediction be correct?
