The Warriors dipped below .500 on Sunday, and Steve Kerr didn’t point fingers. He pointed at himself. After a 136-131 loss in Portland dropped Golden State to 13-14, Kerr said plainly that he hasn’t been good enough.

The only reason this brand of mediocre basketball isn’t resulting in a truly lost season is that the Western Conference has decided to be terrible at the bottom. The bar for the final play-in spot is 10-16. But the Warriors have become irrelevant. The Warriors are 14-15, stumbling over a bar that is lying on the floor.
