Warriors front office = bad

Category: Sports

I would like to officially say I hate the Warriors front office.
They have completely screwed the team once again.
The fans were finally getting excited about the team. Possibly they could have made a run at the 8th playoff spot.
Now they will not win more that 20 games and be last place again.
Good Job.
