The recent Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game has sparked some interesting rumors about the Golden State Warriors, and their chances for the play-in tournament. During the Game, Steph Curry, known for his remarkable performance on the court, was left on the bench for more than 11 minutes while the Warriors lost their lead. This raised concerns among the fans and experts expecting Curry to lead the team to victory. Moreover, Klay Thompson, who is renowned for his exceptional three-point shooting skills, had a disappointing performance, scoring only 27% on his three-pointers. He was still trusted to take the Game’s final shot despite this.

After the Game that the Warriors lost 110-114, they fell to 36-34, just one Game ahead of the 11th-seed Houston Rockets in the standings, with coach Steve Kerr acknowledging that the team cannot solely rely on Steph Curry’s highlights to win Games. The team needs to work together and support each other to achieve victories. The Warriors are only one Game ahead of the Houston Rockets for the NBA play-in spot. This has raised concerns among the fans that the Warriors may miss the 2024 NBA playoffs if they don’t improve their Game soon. Fortunately, the Warriors have the sixth-easiest remaining schedule, while Houston has the 11th-hardest. However, Golden State must remain focused for the rest of the season to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention.

Warriors' schedule in the next 5 games:

  • March 26: @ Miami Heat
  • March 27: @ Orlando Magic
  • March 29: @ Charlotte Hornets
  • March 31: @ San Antonio Spurs
  • April 2: vs. Dallas Mavericks 

The Warriors’ recent performance has left fans and experts wondering about their future. Although they’ve performed like a .500 team, they’ve shown they can compete with the best. The last playoffs proved that Play-In Tournament teams can be a force to be reckoned with. Like Miami, the Warriors have a championship-caliber coach and an experienced core. They’re one of the most flawed rosters, but Curry leads the way, giving them a chance against any opponent. They’re dark-horse contenders if they make the playoffs due to Kerr, Curry, Draymond Green, and Thompson’s star power, despite his recent decline. They still have all the heavy hitters that led them to championships in 2015 and 2017.
