Golden State Warriors commentary & podcast: 40 years in the making there’s doubt this Dubs team is onto something

OAKLAND–The Golden State Warriors are on a roll right now their sitting at 29-5 with the best record in the entire NBA they have the most wins and the fewest loses and their destroying teams. It’s not like their playing a lot of close games their winning by double digits most of the time which is amazing. You think about the history of the Warriors they won the championship in 1975 that was 40 years ago.

Which is kind of hard to fathom this team is as good a Warriors team since that championship team there were the two teams the championship team of 1974-75 and then there’s the team the year after the 1975-76 Warriors who were great but didn’t win it all in 1976. Right now this team is on a pace to be the best team in the history of the Warriors. This 2014-15 team is certainly on pace to be at least as good as any of those teams.

The championship for this season is a wait and see proposition but in terms of the regular season records and performance this team is as good as any the Warriors have ever had. Their a fantastic team their deep, they are competitive and they are really, really good. Their 29-5 and the record speaks for itself which is hard to believe a Warriors team who couldn’t even win 20 games all season in seasons past.

The Warriors are on the verge of winning 30 games before the end of January this team night in and night out come to play and they’ve already faced a little adversity for the first couple of months with Andrew Bogut out for a month with his ankle, center Fetus Ezeli is out again, so the W’s found their way despite some hic ups and even with those guys out they’ve adjusted that’s been the best part of this.

This team was good under former head coach Mark Jackson the last couple years and you can’t discount his contribution with this team he gave Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson the confidence to become the players they are. Head coach Steve Kerr has helped them to get to the next level in terms of giving them more confidence and more responsibility. He has also given them better plays and better offense to work with to take more advantage of their skill sets.

Right now your seeing those results on the floor as these guys are all stars, Curry is going to be an All-Star starter, Thompson may or may not make the all star team. It’s tough at the guard position because it’s so deep in the Western Conference as he may or may not make it. He’s certainly deserving of making it. Then you have forward Draymond Green who is fast of becoming one of the most dangerous defensive players and is just kind of a jack of all trades.
