The Warriors might win the NBA Championship, but mark my words, they will have a worse regular season record than last year. They had probably a dozen close games last year where things fell their way... i.e. Nets game where Lopez missed a layup to win, Thunder game with terrible Durant turnover up 2 with ball under 10 seconds, Jazz game with turnover up 3 last possession, Raptors game Lowery called for horrible offensive foul call.

I say they go 67-15

Yeah, but now they have Kevin Durant bro.

They can't add just any player and get better, but adding a player with offesive effeciency Numbers of Durant, to pair with effeciaency of Curry, and Thompson, and Green all around contributions....and those guys have gotten better every year, and might again?

I don't know man. I don't know what we might see, but its going to be difficult to even get a game off of them.
