NBA Season Preview 2018-19: Every team’s best case scenario
By John Hugar
Golden State Warriors
74-8. Go for it, you cowards. You won’t. But you should.
Seriously though, we all know how good the Warriors are, so speculating about their ceiling is pretty boring unless you get outlandish. Suppose Boogie comes back with plenty of time to get back to full strength by the playoffs, and the team successfully ingratiates him into their play style. They have a Big 5. They have five of the 20 best players in the league, and two of the top-five. They have an All-Star team.
They could sweep the playoffs! They should have done that in 2017, but seriously, if they make Cousins, this is a hydra unlike anything we have ever seen.
