Familiar feeling: Short-handed Warriors limp back from All Star break

Does Finals rookie Christian Braun prove that GSW messed up the young guys? Not at all.

Christian Braun as a symbol of everything wrong with the Warriors I think everyone can agree that: In 2022-23, the Warriors did not get as much out of The Young Guys (particularly Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody and James Wiseman) as everyone was hoping.
