5 reasons why Golden State Warriors are still the team to beat

#1 Golden State not sitting on their laurels; primed to build a dynasty

The Warriors are not satisfied with two rings and want to keep winning

The Warriors are definitely built to last the long run, having made the NBA Finals the last three years, winning two Championships.

Their core group of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thomson, Draymond Green and Andre Igoudala has an average age of 29 and are in the perfect position to contend for titles for at least three more seasons, giving them the chance of building a dynasty.

In terms of offensive and defensive efficiency, these Dubs are among the best ever as a team to have played the game. And with the right amount of athleticism, scoring, and defensive strength, they have all the tools to win the 2017/18 NBA Championship.

It is now clear to fans and teams across the association that Warriors owner Joe Lacob was not bragging when he said the following in April 2016:

"We’re light-years ahead of probably every other team in structure, in planning, in how we’re going to go about things. We’re going to be a handful for the rest of the N.B.A. to deal with for a long time.”
