The Golden State Warriors know they have their work cut out for them, but they still believe they can reach the Western Conference Finals.

However, Dwight Howard doesn’t think it’s possible.

Speaking on NBA on TNT, Howard said the Warriors will not rally back in their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“[Warriors] got about the same amount of a chance as Boston do. Zero. It’s over with for both of them. I’m going with it. Golden State is out,” Howard said.

History would suggest that Howard is right.

It is incredibly hard for a team to climb out of a 3-1 hole, and that is exactly where the Warriors currently find themselves.

The big problem is that Golden State has been without Steph Curry, who injured himself during Game 1.

Game 1 happens to be the only match the Warriors won, and they have been floundering ever since.

Their plan was to hold on as long as possible and stay in the fight until Curry is able to suit up again.

There is speculation that he could be ready to play in Game 6, but the Warriors might not get that far.

They were just taken down at home and now have to play the next game on the road in Minnesota.

There is a very good chance their season ends during Game 5 in front of thousands of cheering Timberwolves fans.

But what if they can pull off a win and Curry is ready to show off in Game 6?

Could they even the series and then force a Game 7?

It’s not easy, and it hasn’t been done often, but the Warriors are trying to hold onto hope, even when others like Howard have counted them out.
