The Golden State warriors had a major let down season in 08′-09′ failing to win even 30 games, 29-53 overall. This was mostly due to the loss of Baron Davis.
Their defense the last two seasons has been one of the worst in the league – if not the worst. They can score when they want but don’t play any defense and let teams back in games.
Things changed for the Warriors last season. Most notably, the loss of Baron Davis to the Los Angeles Clippers had a profound impact on the team, as any team would struggle to find its way after losing its best player.
A few more cards were shuffled for the Warriors. Jamal Crawford came in, as did Corey Maggette. Still, the Golden State Warriors weren’t the same team.
F Cory Maggette is one of the better players on the team and should have another solid season. Being this is his 10th season he is the veteran that needs to keep the team focused all season long.
The Warriors play in the highly talented and strong Western Conference – in the West making the playoffs as the 8th seed will be a difficult task. If the warriors hope to play in late spring then they will need to improve on defense – no team that was last in scoring defense ever made the playoffs.
Monta Ellis is healthy, Andris Biedrins is ready for another season of basketball, and Stephen Jackson and Stephen Curry are both talented offensive players.
This is a pretty deep team that could easily make its mark. 45-37 record for the Golden State Warriors in 09-10 if you ask me.
