The Golden State Warriors

               With the Golden State Warriors being unbeaten a lot of speculation is floating around weather they will remain unbeaten through Christmas. The key there is that they’re all healthy. They went from winning the championship, right into training for the regular season. I’ve never seen a team work this hard and become so successful. Going into Christmas Day, the Warriors will face the ultimate test of LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
                Looking at the team as a whole, they’ve really proven themselves as a tem who can win back to back titles. The one guy that I think everyone overlooks is Andrew Bogut. You probably think to yourself “Who the Hell is he?!” Well Bogut is a 7 foot tall and 260 pound for the Warriors. Last year Bogut was struggling to make some easy layups and even from free throws. But looking at everything now, he is looking better than ever. I think he is currently on pace to outscore his numbers from last year. I really do think he is the factor to this team.
                Now thinking about Stephen Curry, you think what more could he possibly do? Curry is currently averaging 32 ppg (Points per Game), which is pretty good because you also have Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes with both average mid-teens for points. Plus you add in Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut with a combined 15 rpg (Rebounds per Game.) With all of that taken into consideration I don’t think a team will be able to beat the Warriors this year. But a team that might come close is the Cavaliers.
                The Cavaliers have an interesting team. They are basically a band of misfits that have all come together to be a championship team. Now LeBron James is an all-around good player, but lacks maybe one guy to put the whole team together. With him averaging 26 ppg and 8 rpg. I don’t think that will amount to anything compared to the Warriors. I think the Cavaliers don’t have the experience the Warriors do, and that’s what was hurting them in the beginning of the season. Also lacking depth is a key issue with the Cavaliers. They have a healthy LeBron and a healthy Kevin Love. Other than that they don’t have anyone else. Kyrie Irving hasn’t played a game this entire year, which is making me think that he won’t be back for a while.

                After everything is said and done the Golden State Warriors will most likely beat the Cavaliers, because they have more depth on their bench and they aren’t centered on one person like the Cavaliers are. To win this game LeBron James and Kevin Love both have to step up in order to take down the mighty Golden State Warriors.
