Warriors really do not have a weakness right now

Injuries and lack of overall depth really hurt the Golden State Warriors over the last two seasons, hence why they have not been to the playoffs since their run to the 2019 NBA Finals.

This team is still dealing with injuries to Klay Thompson and James Wiseman, but they are the deepest team in the NBA right now and even though they are young, they have shown no signs of having a weakness. 

This is very unorthodox in the NBA because normally when you have a bunch of young players, you have to anticipate mistakes being made and as a result, some bad losses. The Warriors have lost a couple of games this year, but one of these losses was by three points in overtime and the other was by four points on the road in Charlotte in the final minute. 

With a +13.6 point differential this season, Golden State has just cruised past the early portion of their schedule and there really is nothing teams can do about them. Stephen Curry is just unbelievable right now and is currently averaging the second-most points per game in the league at 28.7 points, making him a strong favorite to win his third MVP award.

Curry has made 9 three-pointers in three of his last five games and to put this in perspective of how impressive this is, Zach LaVine, Duncan Robinson, and Buddy Hield only have 3 games each in their career-making 9 or more three-pointers, via StatMuse

There is no way to stop Stephen Curry and playing 10, 11, sometimes even 12 guys deep into their rotation in games, everybody is producing in some way for this team.

Defense is their main strength, as they have held 6 of their 14 opponents under 100 points this year, but their offense is just as good and guys like Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala making their passes look effortless. 

With four guys scoring in double-figures on the season and this team ranking first in the league in points, field goal percentage, rebounds, assists, and opponent’s field goal percentage, there is just no way to stop the Golden State Warriors right now.
