Can the Warriors make the playoffs?

[The Truth]

Ellis had 22 points and Lee had 21. although, Oden and Matthews didn't play for the Blazers. does Golden State have any shot at all at the playoffs this year?

[Sun Tzu]

Hard to tell just from a pre-season game where no teams really play their stars that much and who knows whether players even try in the pre-season. I think you guys have a shot but I still think it's too early after all the Warriors players are well known for their major injuries mid-way through the season.

[Newman]

No sorry. The bench is too weak in my opinion. Monta is a fighter, but he can't play the whole game like he did at times last year.

[Clutch]

no but minnesota might sneak in if some of the other teams get hit by the injury bug

You basing this opinion on their pre-season record or their talent?

[The Lone Granger]

I think it's possible. The only way that I see them making the playoffs however, is if both Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry learn how to play together in the back-court. I think at times last year, they were both fighting to get their shots, and it really hurt the team chemistry. This year, they also have David Lee in the mix, which will help rebounding and scoring wise as well. They have so much talent, but the question is, will they all work together to achieve the common goal of making the Playoffs? That is the question. If I had to guess at ti right now though, I'd say that Golden State will miss the Playoffs.
