The Warriors won their best home game this season, beating the Phoenix Suns 124-112. But, it will take a lot more than just one great win into 28 losses already this season. Not everyone was healthy at the start off and new players were coming in not knowing how to play Nellie's way. We all know Warriors are fastbreak, three-pointed team, and last year was a great example of that. Yes they didn't made it to the playoffs, but they finished with a great winning record.
Different team, different results this season. It's kind of frustrating right now watching them lose to games that they should win. Most of the time when they lose, its by a close margin. If they get a dominate low post player-Chris Bosh, Jermaine O'Neil, or Dwight Howard- I'm certain that they can push to the playoffs next season. This team has a lot of talent offensivly, but their defense is suffering because they only have probably about 3 defensive minded players; Terioff, Andris Bedrins, and Stephen Jackson. The height advantage is really killing them since they have a lot of guards. Just one more low-post star that can run up and down the court, and were good to go. I don't know if its too late for a late entrance to the playoffs this season, but another season playing together, they will get comfortable with the new people around. If they do all of this before trade deadline, my predictions:
08-09 record: 40-42
09-10 record:51-31
