View the original article to see embedded media.

It’s been tough sledding for the Warriors (15–18) so far this season as the defending NBA champions have struggled mightily with chemistry and injuries through the first two months. But, while much has been has been made about the poor start, Draymond Green still believes there are plenty of reasons for opponents to worry about the team come playoff time.

To this point, one of the biggest knocks against Golden State has been a glaring 3–16 mark on the road, with the team dropping five games on a recent six-game road trip. The Warriors suffered back-to-back blowout losses to the Knicks and Nets on Dec. 20 and 21. To make matters worse, the second game of that trip, a 125–119 loss to the Pacers, saw Golden State lose Stephen Curry to a left shoulder injury that is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks.
