Golden State Warriors: 3 reasons why they’re a legit threat to win the championship

The Golden State Warriors are finally healthy and are an elite defensive team

When the Warriors have been healthy this season, they’ve been one of the best teams in the league. The problem is, they haven’t been healthy much this season. The Warriors, for the most part, are finally healthy. And that has been very much evident through their first two games against the Nuggets.

Additionally, the Warriors are an elite defense. Two things that are imperative for any team looking to make a deep playoff run are health and defensive prowess. The Warriors check both of those boxes at the moment.

Even battling through injuries to key players this season, the Warriors finished with the second-best defensive rating in the league.
