Steinmetz on Chris Townsend Show

@ 5:50 it gets REALLY interesting... "do you ever feel bad for warriors, for not being able to make it happen?" MS- "Not this ownership group, at this point. And I don't say that maliciously. It's just that, one of the things that's disappointing is over the last 2 years, is that when Joe Lacob came in year, and even Mark Jackson to a lesser extent. They walked in here and suggested, 'You know what, things aren't that bad here. That, they have the pieces here and because we're here now, this franchise is going to be better.' And I don't know if it's naive or arrogant. But it was a little bit of a slap in the face, that they thought they could bring the same team back and be better, and that's what they were counting on. They were 36-46 last year, they brought back the SAME lineup and both Joe Lacob and Mark Jackson said it was a playoff team." (It goes on, but I thought that quote needed to be written out, because Steinmetz is right.)
