@chasingring5 took a slightly personal perspective, attributing the Warriors’ struggles to what they perceived as Curry’s lack of judgment. The fan claimed that the challenges were a consequence of Curry’s desire to conclude his NBA career alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
It’s his fault for wanting to finish his career with his “buddies” https://t.co/cWHLgSAd2v
