Are We Done Sipping The Kool Aid? The Warriors Suck and Trades Need to Be Made

After going 4-3 and being competitive in the last seven games, Warriors fans were beginning to believe that the current Warriors could be a competitive team in the future. 

Maggette was averaging 23 points and seven rebounds off the bench; Crawford had a streak of games with 28 points or more. What many Warrior fans failed to realize is that we went 4-3 against some of the worst teams in the league. 

We beat the Clips missing four of their starting five, the Pacers, the Hawks without Horford, and the lowly Wizards. We lost to the Kings, the Thunder, and the Cavs who were without two starters Delonte West and Z. In short, we barely beat teams that a good team would crush and we lost to some of the worst teams in the league. 

During this stretch we were a varsity team playing against j.v. teams and we barely went 4-3.  We should have gone 6-1, blowing out the majority of these teams. It's amazing how far the Warriors have fallen in less than a year.

Tonight against the eighth seeded Mavs, the Warriors got hammered 117-93 and completely outplayed in every facet of the game. Our defense was appalling to announcers Mark Jackson and Stan Van Gundy. Van Gundy said it best in reference to wide-open transition buckets by the Mavs. 

"It's five on five, it's not that hard, there's somebody for everyone to guard."  It wasn't as if the Warriors played a great team, we played a team that could very well be in the lottery, and my belief is that they will not make the playoffs this year, and will be overtaken by the Mavericks.

Recent trade proposals involving Corey Maggette and Jamal Crawford have been met with angst and disbelief with the recent play of Maggette and his role off the bench. 

Maggette will not average 23 points and seven rebounds for the rest of the season.  He's a career 18 to19 point, five rebound-type of player on an average team. He's been in the league nearly 10 years, highly unlikely that he suddenly becomes a superstar and continues to average 23 points and seven rebounds. 

Jamal Crawford is a shooting guard trying to play point guard. He's been trying for close to a decade in the NBA. Perhaps he should try playing some defense since th
