Golden State Warriors Game Analysis
The topic has been brought up ever since June 16, 2015. A very impressive Golden State Warriors team defeated a wounded Cleveland Cavaliers team in Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals. Golden State capturing their first championship since 1975.
This season, the Warriors carried a winning streak to start the season. The winning streak came to an abrupt ending on December 12, 2015. The Milwaukee Bucks ended one of the most remarkable winning streaks in NBA history. Golden State started the season off 24-0 prior to the loss.

What we are witnessing though is a once in a lifetime phenomena. It is exhilarating, and refreshing to see such dominance in any sport.
There is still plenty of season left, but as of right now, according to the ESPN Basketball Power Index, Golden State has a 60.9 percent chance of winning 70 games, a 47.2 percent chance of winning 71 and a 33.3 percent chance of winning 72. They also have a 20.8 percent chance of winning 73 games and an 11.5 percent chance of winning
