The Golden State Warriors are headed in the wrong direction right now. They have lost six of their last 10 games and two of their most important players, Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, are injured on top of the already season-ending torn ACL for Jimmy Butler. In the case of Curry and Porzingis, neither has a concrete timetable for when they will be back on the floor.
If the season ended today, the Warriors would be a Play-In team. Yet with the current state of the team, do they even want that? Is there a way for Golden State to tank so bad that they miss the Play-In entirely?
