NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Golden State Warriors

Previous: . Golden State Warriors. 3. team. 41. Things are starting to look a lot easier for the Golden State Warriors and that should scare the rest of the league. Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are routinely putting up 30-plus points during their seven-game win streak. Klay Thompson is starting to knock down all of those wide open looks he’s getting. Draymond Green threatens to get an assists and rebounds double-double on a nightly basis. JAVALE MCGEE IS ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY. I SAID, JAVALE MCGEE IS ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY! The defense is still a work-in-progress (they rank 20th in defensive rating currently), but that hasn’t stopped Death Lineup 2.0 from annihilating teams. The Curry-Thompson-Andre Iguodala-Durant-Green five man lineup has a net rating of 27.0 (best amongst lineups that have played at least 60 minutes together). In total, the Warriors have 12 lineups that have a net rating higher than 25–this includes three lineups that have net ratings OVER 100, but those groupings have not played large enough sample sizes to truly be as dominant as they look. As Golden State continues to round into form it’s going to be amazing to see just what this team is capable of once it hits its peak.. (12-2)
