When you think of the Warriors, you think of Steph Curry. Of course, a team is bigger than just one player, but Curry is the Warriors.

"I think it is impossible without those guys, but we saw a decent chunk with them and I can't say why he went out early and lost some games those guys were finishing ... sometimes in close games they even out at the end of the year," Myers said. "We didn't play well in the clutch, I don't know what that is. In a playoff series, I would trust those guys to finish it out, there's no reason they wouldn't, but it just didn't go that way. Then you try and evaluate 'what does that mean?' and then you have injuries and it does cloud the whole thing up as far as what are you?
"In some form, what it is is what it is and you can't blame it on (anything), it's just whatever your season is telling you. That's the beauty of sports. I can sit up here and make excuses, but there's more time to figure it out, but we're not sitting here liking losing, no one does. Not the players, not me, not Joe [Lacob], certainly not Steve [Kerr]. We gotta try and get it going in the right direction."
