NBA Power Rankings: Cavaliers are right where they want to be

. Golden State Warriors. 8. team. 41. Speaking of not living up to expectations, next up is the Golden State Warriors. The best collection of talent on one NBA team hasn’t exactly blown away the league to start off the year. While it doesn’t look like they’ll be 9-8 through 17 games like the Miami Heat when their super team was formed, the Warriors have yet to look like the team many promised they would be. <p>But boy oh boy did Stephen Curry ever pick the right moment to go absolutely bonkers crazy from deep. In the Warriors victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, Curry broke his own record for most threes made in a single game and capped off the night shooting 13-for-17 from behind the line.</p> <p>Kevin Durant has proved that he fits in anywhere on any team on any basketball court, but the other Warriors have yet to regain their 73-9 form from last season. Stephen Curry has been average aside from a couple of big third quarters. Draymond Green has more technicals than triple-doubles. Klay “I’m not sacrificing sh**” Thompson seems to have sacrificed his ability to make open jumpers. Steve Kerr no longer looks like he came to the arena straight from a day on the beach catching waves and sun.</p> <p>However, it is early in the year and despite the high level expectations placed on their heads there are instances where you see the potential shine through for the Warriors. There are a lot of teams lower on this list that would gladly take Golden State’s problems and record off their hands in a millisecond. If this team is able to get it going then we’ll look back on these early times of trials and tribulations and laugh. Especially after seeing Steph singlehandedly make the art of shooting threes look more simple than a Dr. Seuss book.</p>.
