Perkins said, “Warriors are finished.” Interestingly enough, he feels the Warriors are finished when it comes to fighting for the NBA title. He continued his claim by saying, “Can they compete for a championship? Are they finished when it comes down to championship? Hell yeah they are! And I have no hope.
