The Golden State Warriors 2014 - 2015 Season
At the beginning of the young 2014 - 2015 season, Golden State has a perfect 4 - 0 record. The Warriors are just 1/2 a game off of having the best record in the Western Conference. Shooting guard Klay Thompson is averaging 27.0 points a game, while center Andrew Bogut is holding it down defensively, with 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per contest. Stephen Curry is adding 7.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 26.0 points per game and is looking like an early season MVP candidate. The Warriors are in first place in the Pacific Division, 1/2 game ahead of the talented Sacramento Kings. Head coach Steve Kerr piloted the Warriors to a 51 - 31 record in 2013, where his team lost in the first round of the playoffs to division foe Los Angeles Clippers. Golden State definitely looks like a championship contending team, and anything less than a playoff appearance in 2015 will be a huge failure.
