Now, With a 20-0 Start and Counting, Will the Golden State Warriors Repeat as NBA Champions?

Health is the key to another championship for GSW.

    All the analytics people say that, "Stats do not lie." So, if this were true, then definitely, the Warriors would once again hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy on June 2016. Their unstoppable, small ball lineup of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala is just unbeatable. Well, unless, one of them gets hurt. In fact, GSW has not been as effective since losing Harrison Barnes to an ankle injury. And we have to remember that they have been very fortunate that they have not dealt with any serious injury problems since Steve Kerr took over. And yet, they have, ironically, players with histories of having serious injuries like Shaun Livingston, Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and Steph Curry. To simply put it, when it comes to them repeating as champs, the real question to answer, is not whether they can, it is more of how long will they stay as healthy as they have been?
