Golden State Warriors

2014-15 Record: 67-15

2015-16 Projected Wins: 55-60

I think it’s safe to say that the Golden State Warriors aren’t going to replicate the success that they enjoyed one season ago. I mean, sure, they could win the NBA Championship again — but I highly doubt they’re going to win 67 regular season games again.

That just doesn’t happen ho-hummingly. Plus, it’s probably not likely that they’ll have the same amount of good luck when it comes to injuries. Literally everyone else in the NBA had to deal with injuries — and, for most, in devastating fashion — but not the Warriors.

They were pretty healthy for the ENTIRE season — the regular season AND the playoffs. The Warriors will be good again, but not as dominant as they were last season.
