7. Golden State Warriors 51.5
Prediction: Under
Fresh off a 51-31 record, the Warriors are set on competing for an NBA Title this season, after getting bounced out of the first round of the playoffs by their arch-nemesis the Los Angeles Clippers.
Incoming coach Steve Kerr will have lofty expectations for a guy that has absolutely no coaching experience, as he will look to fill the shoes of former coach Mark Jackson and try to implement an entirely new offensive and defensive system.
Realistically, the only thing stopping this team from success is Kerr. He’s either going to be labeled as the scapegoat or the savior.
All I know is that getting more than 51 wins in the highly competitive Western Conference will be no easy cakewalk, so Kerr better hope his triangle offense bodes well.
