Golden State Warriors

Being Light Years Ahead

The Golden State Warriors have been light years ahead of the rest of the NBA, and that’s probably the biggest reason why they’re on the verge of something very special over the course of the next few years.

They’ve compiled the best NBA roster, potentially in history, and are coming off back-to-back NBA Finals appearances. That just doesn’t seem fair. But, here we are.

With Kevin Durant on this team now, I’m not exactly sure if there’s a blueprint out there to stop this team. Sure, the Warriors are going to struggle on defense at times, but does it really matter when they absolute drop the hammer on the offensive end night in and night out?
