The Golden State Warriors have tried a lot this season. Whether it’s their style of play or their lineup choices, everything is intriguing. Chris Paul is a Warrior, and Golden State’s former foes are teaming up to regain the Warriors’ lost glory.

Last season started with plenty of promise until Draymond’s punch not only shook up the rhythm, but later led to Jordan Poole’s exit.

Stephen Curry led the Warriors multiple times last season. Especially in the series against the Kings, Stephen was a one-man show. But against the Lakers, the Finals MVP needed more support, but he never got it.
