Golden State Warriors

Record Prediction: 60-22

Ah, the Golden State Warriors. Some wonder how this team will even lose one game, much less 22. But, I’m going to take a bold stance here. I believe that this team isn’t going to to try to break the 73-win mark.

I think this team will rest its players more than most people expect. I believe this team is going to struggle at times on the offensive end, with Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant both trying not to step on each other’s feet.

This team will begin peaking after the all-star break, as is often the case for most teams that only really care about the playoffs.
