     Warriors Still Undefeated In The NBA

     The Golden State Warriors are the number #1 team in the western conference. They have been unbeatable { literally} for the last 3 weeks thanks to the offensive ability of their team and their good defense that won them a championship last year. After 40 years they have won their 4th franchise championship and are on the way towards a 5th. Their record as of December 6th 2015 is 21-0, 21 well played wins and not a single loss to start the season.

     The warriors best player Stephen Curry has been nothing but excellent to start this season. Curry is averaging a total of 32.6 points per game { according to ESPN}. Stephen is also having the best field goal percentage out of the whole team next to Andre Iguodala. Statistically Draymond Green is another option they have on the floor each game. Green has the highest average of rebounds and assists compared to the rest of the team. For Klay Thompson he has been holding decent stats to start. He has 16.2 points per game and he has only missed 1 out of the last 21 games they have played.



     The Warriors have made some minor changes to their roster. First they traded David Lee to the Boston Celtics and in return got about $15,000,000 in cap. David Lee has said that even in Boston he supports the warriors on twitter and wishes the best for them to go far { according to ESPN}. The Warriors have also received Jason Thompson, a big man who is getting $6.710.000 this season and he is only getting about 6 minutes off the bench each game. The team managed to pick up a young shooting guard named Ian Clark. This guard is making a little less than 1 million dollars well playing just about 6 1/2 minutes a game well averaging 3.8 points for the  only 17 games he played. Finally they have James Michael McAdoo who is an undrafted, 22 year old rookie from North Carolina.

    

     Golden state is also known for it's new coach Steve Kerr. Mr. Kerr was one of the best 3 point shooters "way back when" some time ago. It's not much of a coincidence that he would run a fast offensive tactic that relied on good 3 point shooters like Curry and  Thompson. He has brought them to one of their best records for their Franchise {67-15 in 2014 to 2015 regular season}. Ultimately they improved all around after replacing Mark Jackson with all time veteran Steve Kerr last season.
