First warriors dont play 66 games, they play 65 in the regular season. I think Warriors will be 25-40. Sorry, they just will have injuries, and that will be the excuse. I am a warriors faithful however. If we can get Dwight Howard by the trade deadline, we will squeeze in the play-offs. And will be dangerous. Hopefully, the warriors can get an impact player.
