Predict the Warriors Record

[BatManu20]

10-0 now with tonight's win over Minnesota. Steph playing at an MVP level again. Looking even better than last year.

What will their record be after 82 games? Tbh.

[Benoit]

We will win 65 games after Stephen and Draymond are regularly rested after March. I expect to see San Antonio do damage late in the season and gain momentum, but we will crush their hopes and dreams in the playoffs.

[Reck]

They'll lose more than 10 games, but less than 15.

[Robz4000]

They're due some injuries and once Kerr comes back he'll start resting their older and/or injury prone players every now and then. I'm thinking around 64-18.

[Kawhitstorm]

The only elite team they have faced so far was the Clippers & they almost lost that game on their home court despite Pierce/Crawford putting on a horrific shooting display. Unless Klay plays like a true All-Star they aren't breaking the Bulls record b/c their offense basically hinges on Curry who is playing out of his mind at the moment but will eventually regress.

It's 2015 & Tim still hasn't lost a regular season game to the Warriors on his home court......

[apalisoc_9]

Proabaly around 62-65.

[Mitch]

Whatever number they need for #1 seed barring any injuries, they'll rest steph & crew on days they don't need to win.

[HarlemHeat37]

Only try-hard douches try to win 70+ games, tbh:lol..

[resistanze]

66-16

Weren't they 30-2 at one point or something ridiculous like that last year?

[spursistan]

Not really that impressed with 10-0.. They eked out the only measuring stick game vs the Cippers....getting an imploding Grizzlies twice, a decimated Pelicans twice , a discombobulated Houston in 2nd game of the season..Both the Pistons/Kings were playing them close late in the fourth..I think they will get first seed but will only win 62-64 games...

[lefty20]

82-0 at this pace. Especially if Curry keeps using cheat engine.

They're 10-0 with an average margin of victory of 17+ points. I don't see how you couldn't be impressed by that :lol Their schedule hasn't been incredibly hard, but I wouldn't say it's been a joke either. Definitely harder than the Spurs' schedule thus far IMO.

I mean I'm not saying everyone should be hailing them as the new '96 Bulls, but you can't deny they've been insanely dominant so far this season. I find it hard to believe how someone couldn't be impressed with how they're looking.

Its not really the entire team dominating though, Curry's been absolutely destroying teams on his own. Green, Barnes, and Etzeli have had their moments as well, but Thompson has looked like shit for the most part and their SL falls apart on offense the few times when Curry has been contained. They remind me a lot of the 2012-2013 Spurs in how reliant they are on one player. It may just work out for them in the long run like it nearly did for those Spurs teams, but we saw what happened when Parker got shut down in the postseason; Curry is much more difficult to guard than Parker, but the Spurs, Clippers, and potentially the Cavs all have players capable of doing it.

There are at least 2-3 teams that go on a long win streak almost every year. So its not like winning 10 games in a row hasn't been done ever. It's a cool thing but not so much to be impressed about.

Put up 25+ games and then I'll be impressed.

No, they were 21–2 and later 31–5 before losing a few.

:lol Based on what? He'll regress to... the best shooter in the league? That's not exactly an unsurvivable plummet for the Warriors. "Ohhh no Curry is only shooting 45% from 3 now, he's really slacked off the beginning of the year and now the Dubs are only winning by 15 instead of 40."

The Clippers were leading midway through the 4th quarter before Curry checked in nailed a couple of ridiculous shots. If Curry was on the bench in the 4th quarter like their usual home games then they would have lost the game by double digits. They can blowout the Grizz & Pelicans on the road without Curry playing in the 4th quarter but against the big boys they are going to need Curry to keep hitting ridiculous shots even at home unless Klay wakes up.

Just look at last year postseason series, he had his way against the Pelicans/Rockets & struggled against the Grizz/Cavs. It wasn't random, it had to do w/ the quality of defense he faced.

So you're saying.... if the Dubs starters don't play... they might lose.

[Kawhitstorm]

So they can blowout playoff teams (Pelicans/Grizz) on the road without Curry playing a second but they need him to bail them out at home against the Clippers. The rest of the starter were losing the game b/c Klay/Draymond couldn't hit the side of the barn w/o Curry spoon feeding them but yet you keep asserting they will beat teams by 15 when Curry regresses. Harrison Barnes all of a sudden scored 10 straight point when Curry checked in b/c the defense was so worried about #30 pulling up from 40ft. When he isn't hitting those shots at a 50% clip then defense aren't going to cheat as much as they are being forced to so now.

[DMC]

They'll lose 17 games.

Didn't the Spurs do the same when they ended the season like 20 and 0 a while back? They were also winning games by halftime. That didn't tunr out too good for them.

I'm just saying, build the streak to where it would definitely be impressive. Any team can win 10 in a row. We've seen it countless times over the years.

It turned out ok for them. They made it to the WCF and lost in 6 games. I wouldn't say that winning convincingly is a bad omen. We can find instances of lottery winners being murdered or committing suicide (Lakers notwithstanding), but that doesn't mean it's bad to win the lottery.

I'll let a few here in on what's really happening right now, under the radar: With Kerr out but still calling the shots, sort of, Luke is playing Mark Jackson ball. He's allowing Curry to be the focal point on the offense, and Curry is up to the task. The problem with that is Kerr worked hard to get a balanced scoring and assists system where Steph becomes more conscious of his shot selection, and where the team moves the ball very well. With Curry taking the offensive load on shoulders, they've regressed to pre-Kerr days where a bad night for Steph means a loss for the Warriors. I think it will balance out because Kerr might be injured but he's not dead. Still, that's what's happening, and it's cleverly disguised as amazing basketball. We've seen this before, like for a few years prior to last year.

"Despite all the blowouts Golden State has racked up during its franchise-best 10-0 start—and all the glittery stats (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2587972-how-much-better-are-golden-state-warriors-than-last-seasons-championship-squad) behind those efforts—the Warriors have been about as dependent on Curry as they were Thursday night. According to NBA.com (http://stats.nba.com/team/#!/1610612744/onoffcourt/?Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&PerMode=Totals), they've outscored the opposition by 153 points in Curry's 353 minutes, and by just 18 points in the 137 minutes he's spent on the pine."

Obviously that's misleading, since he spends most of the game on the floor so most of the lead is going to come during most of the game. However, he's scoring more points per game this season thus far than he ever has, and Klay Thompson has regressed to 2014 levels, almost a 9 point drop in PPG. Also, Steph is about 2 or so APG lower than last season.

Yeah a win is a win, but we all know the difference between being damn good and being unstoppable.

if they lose more than 2 , they will probably deflate more and Kerr will start to think bigger picture by resting more guys..(they still have 4 games with OKC, 3 Spurs, 2 Clippers..that's easily 3-4 more losses at least)..

They could possibly lose back-to-back: @Cavs/@Bulls. The Pistons played them tough but I can't see Draymond losing in his hometown & Curry is probably pissed off after his crucial turnover.

The Pacers have no one to punish them inside & it's at the Oracle.

The Spurs/Mavs game is a toss up.

No wonder Luke rested Draymond b/c they are going to need him for the upcoming stretch.:lol

I have a feeling the Warriors want 73 wins and will do whatever it takes to get there. They are young and cocky and want to leave their mark on history, I see them getting it done, however, I also see them wearing themselves down and getting beat in the playoffs.

The league is the weakest it's been 1999-2000, so the Warriors will get their wins and make their jump shots. Their shots aren't falling like they used to though. They may get a 69-13 type of season but won't get or surpass 72. They'll be out in the WCF's. Sorry Warriors.

they have 7-game road trip coming after which they will mostly be at home for rest of season... tricky stops at Portland/Clippers/Thunder..If they sweep or go 6-1 in it, the Bulls record will tumble, IMO..

We will win 65 games after Stephen and Draymond are regularly rested after March. I expect to see San Antonio do damage late in the season and gain momentum, but we will crush their hopes and dreams in the playoffs.

At this rate they should easily surpass 72

I think they go for it if the Spurs stay on their ass. If not, Kerr is going to have a hard time playing Steph big minutes just to chase that goal, but not doing so could dampen the spirit of the team.

It's a tough call. Image Steph twists an ankle in an otherwise meaningless game and the Warriors lose in the 1st or 2nd round because of it. Kerr would need a culvert to hide in.

This loss won't change much..the only hope is that this tendency to play down to shitty teams and Kerr maybe going to rest mode may get them to rack up few other unexpected Ls..But as long as the Spurs are on their heels they will keep going for it..Pretty easy and home-heavy schedule other than their 3 meetings with us..
