The Golden State Warriors can give an almost definitive blow to the NBA. In recent years, the franchise of San Francisco Bay have dominated the competition without opposition. Only LeBron and Irving could make a bit of a front by snatching the title in 2016, but that does not take away the historical records that are signing these players and those who want to continue breaking.
After the record of victories in a season and winning three of the last four rings, the competition trembles to know that Curry could return from his injury next week and that the date of return of DeMarcus Cousins is approaching to join a template that would form , predictably, a 'Big Five' of legend.
They would arrive at a very successful time. The team is not going through its best moment. Since Curry was injured, the Warriors have followed an irregular dynamic, signing the worst record since Steph Kerr is as a coach, with a 0-4 last week. That is not the worst, but the current champions have been involved in much controversy after the discussion between Green and Durant, something that according to many reports did not stay on the field and may be affecting the stability of the locker room.
New Year New Life
The team seems to be raising its head before the tour that will begin next week in the East. Durant seems to be in a state of grace after being the architect of the 18-point comeback against Orlandao Magic, in addition to improving little by little and recovering the relationship with Draymond Green.
QUINTETO HOLDER OF THE WARRIOS
Base - Stepehn Curry (30)
Escort - Klay Thompson (11)
Alero - Kevin Durant (35)
Power forward - Draymond Green (23)
Pívot - DeMarcus Cousins (0)
Curry could return before December 7 (when the tour of the Atlantic coast would end), something that is eagerly awaited to see again an overwhelming team that only knows how to win. Before losing the last two weeks of the game, the '30' sounded for the conversations to opt for the MVP, giving the brand new start of the season he was signing.
On the other hand, the great news will have to wait a little longer, but as they say, 'palace things go slowly'. DeMarcus Cousins is close to returning and completing that dream quintet. Although some have already forgotten about him, last season, in New Orleans, playing alongside a 'superstar' such as Anthony Davis, the pivot signed 25.2 points and 10.7 rebounds on average. Records that indicate that the healthy number '0' is one of the most dominant and decisive players in the league in the indoor position.
There has not been a single problem with the recovery of that Achilles tendon and it was even rumored that it could come back this December; however, the Warriors medical services have not seen it clearly and do not want to force it. I would arrive for a decisive stretch of the season and above all, I would be in a state of optimal form for the Play-Offs, where the best players and teams give it their all.
The NBA always has surprises, and you can see in this beginning that Jazz, Timberwolves, Rockets or Spurs are out of the first eight positions in the West.
