On Sunday, the Golden State Warriors suffered a humiliating 112-110 loss to a Denver Nuggets team without Nikola Jokic, snapping their two-game winning streak. Stephen Curry and company suffered another another defeat on the road, showing exactly how difficult their title defense has become.
If you ask Kendrick Perkins, he believes that it’s all over for the Dubs. The former NBA champ turned ESPN analyst has drawn the curtain on the Warriors and their title aspirations. And Big Perk isn’t just talking about this season. In his mind, Golden State’s dynasty years are done for:
“I just don’t see the togetherness there no more,” Perkins said. “… It’s just not there. I just think — and I’ve said this time and time again — their time, their championship days, they’re over. When I look at the Golden State Warriors, I look at a lot of individuals that are not bought into (the) team anymore, just individual success.”

That’s brutally harsh, and obviously, Dub Nation isn’t going to like Perkins’ comments here one bit.
Big Perk also argued that the Warriors are in the midst of an “identity crisis” right now with a lot of new faces on the squad. Pekins also pointed out that the extended absence of Andrew Wiggins has also been integral to Golden State’s downfall. It goes without saying that at this point, Kendrick Perkins clearly isn’t betting on the Warriors going all the way this year.
