2. History is on their side

It isn’t like the Golden State Warriors just made a sharp increase to an NBA record amount of wins. They won 67 games last year and have consistently improved across the board and have gotten a lot better as a basketball team in just about every facet organizationally.

However, when a team like the Warriors hasn’t lost back-to-back games and has dominated just about every team that they have played at some point this season, it’s safe to say that history is on their side. When the 1995-’96 Chicago Bulls won 72 games, they won the NBA Championship and forever went down in history.

If teams couldn’t beat the Warriors in back-to-back games, how are they going to beat the Warriors four out of seven games. It just doesn’t seem practical. This is a special year for the Warriors in many ways. They set an NBA record for longest home winning streak and they broke just about every shooting record imaginable.

It doesn’t seem likely for any of this to come crashing to a halt when the playoffs begin, especially since they are the defending champions and are battle tested in all areas. This is the Warriors’ year and it has been since the regular season began.

It’s not going to be given to them, but if they play with a championship mindset, they should defeat everyone soundly.
