Golden State Warriors in ‘09-’10 Season
The Golden State Warriors peaked when they defeated the 67 win Dallas Mavericks in the 07′ playoffs – since then they haven’t done much.
The warriors were young and motivated players that seemingly came out of nowhere and swiped the number eight seed in the Western Conference, they went on to miraculously defeat the Dallas Mavericks in a first round seven game series, knocking off the team with the NBA’s best record and the top seed in the Western Conference. The basketball world couldn’t believe what they had witnessed!
The Warriors are not contenders in the West by any means; they should be fun to watch with their high scoring fast pace games. Many will focus their attention on scoring sensation Stephen Curry – son of Del Curry who was a good shooter himself – and how he will fit in the NBA.
Stephen Jackson was the leading scorer on the Warriors in 08-’09′ with 20 points per game followed by Jamal Crawford – who is not on the Warriors anymore.
There’s a lot of young talent to go around for the Warriors, and they’ll look to make the most of it next season. It’s a bit of a rebuilding process for them, but they definitely have potential and are heading in the right direction.
F/C Andris Biedrins had his best season to date averaging 11 points per game, he will need to increase that average.
The Warriors might not be what the San Antonio Spurs once were defensively – but in a league with gifted athletes the Warriors can improve like the Denver Nuggets did last year.
The Gold State Warriors are a “tweener” team – meaning they could have a fairly good season maybe be around .500 or their season can be a disaster and they are looking at a 30 win season at the bottom of the West.
