The Golden State Warriors will win the Western Conference

After winning another NBA Championship two seasons ago, many believed that they were going to go on another dominant tear. However, that didn’t exactly happen last season. They were inconsistent all regular season long and then were bested by the Los Angeles Lakers, somewhat surprisingly, in the Western Conference semifinals. When it seemed like the Warriors were finally getting right, it all fell apart in the postseason.

Heading into this season, I feel as if they’re being overlooked a bit. And I believe that will end up being a big mistake. After re-signing Draymond Green, it’s clear that the Warriors are looking to win now. Forget the future, the Warriors want to keep this dynasty going as long as they can. And they should. They deserve that.

I predict that the Warriors will win the Western Conference and make the NBA Finals. And if this team can remain healthy, this should not be that unbelievable at all.
