The Golden State Warriors are fresh off one of the toughest losses in franchise history.
Steve Kerr’s team could never keep up with the Boston Celtics, trailing by 44 at halftime and losing by 52 points.
Needless to say, that got the ball rolling online and people started talking about whether this is finally the end of their run.
Notably, that includes Shannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas, who debated on their Nightcap show about the state of the Warriors.
Arenas believes that this team is done already.
He explained that everybody still gives them a chance to win games because of Stephen Curry’s greatness, yet he cannot win on his own.
“For the most part, the team is done,” Arenas said.

Curry has been spectacular as usual, but Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins are no longer the same players they were two years ago.
The Warriors made a risky bet when they decided to stay put and not make any moves at the trade deadline.
They thought this core was ready to turn the corner and go back to it’s winning ways, especially with Chris Paul also getting back to full strength.
Needless to say, one blowout loss shouldn’t be enough for them to think otherwise; it can happen to the best of them.
But the fact of the matter is that GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Joe Lacob need to have some conversations about what to do to fix this team and give Stephen Curry the help he needs to make another championship run while he’s still in his prime.
