Joe Lacob never apologized for his comment saying the Golden State Warriors were "light-years ahead" of the competition. With the Warriors moving into Chase Center and struggling to start the season, it now appears to some as though the franchise has become just another NBA team again.

"When we won the championship, I told Bob right afterwards, 'We've got to get better,'" Lacob explained. "I always say that. That's how you keep going. People think I'm being egotistical or arrogant. I'm not. I'm really being honest.

"You have to continue to strive as an organization, both on the basketball side and the business side, to continually improve, because your competition is certainly trying to do the same thing.

"The rest of the league is going to catch us at some point."
