Predictions

At this point in their run, we know what to expect from the Dubs. They may not be in an all-out pursuit for 74 wins, but with so many weapons, they won’t even have to give 100 percent and can still dominate most of the league.

They’ll send four players to Charlotte for All-Star Weekend, maybe even their coaching staff, and will likely grab a top-two seed and win close to 60 games.

While all that stuff is nice, all the organization truly cares about is winning, which they are likely to do plenty of once again in 2019.

Others have the capability to compete with Golden State. Some may eventually take the Dubs down in the coming years. As of right now, though, nobody can come close to this team at its best, and after adding a four-time All-Star to the roster, the bar has been raised even higher.
