After back-to-back wins over the Bucks and Suns, Bangladesh Cricket Live experts now have reason to believe the Golden State Warriors—despite a rocky, injury-plagued season—are very much back in the Western Conference title conversation. With the victory streak pushing them up to fifth in the West, the defending champs are reminding everyone that grit and resilience can still carry weight in a crowded playoff race.
The road to a repeat is never smooth, and for this season’s Warriors, it’s been more of a winding maze. Injuries, inconsistency, and a lack of roster stability plunged the team into what some described as a midseason trust crisis. Losing badly to a depleted Grizzlies squad became a turning point—one that exposed the cracks in chemistry and confidence within the team.
Bangladesh Cricket Live analysts point out that Golden State’s extreme home-road performance split has been a major factor in their fluctuating record, hovering around .500 for much of the season. With home-court advantage now likely out of reach for key playoff matchups against teams like Denver and Phoenix, the Warriors may be fighting uphill battles without the comfort of Chase Center.
Steph Curry’s absence due to injury, Andrew Wiggins’ extended leave for personal matters, and Klay Thompson’s limited back-to-backs following recovery all contributed to the Warriors’ inconsistency. Add to that the misfire with acquiring Gary Payton II—who arrived hurt—and the offseason departure of key veterans like Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica, and it’s no surprise this squad has struggled to stay intact.
The financial strain is also mounting. Bangladesh Cricket Live experts note that the team is locked into massive deals after re-signing Jordan Poole and Wiggins last summer. Now, with Draymond Green and Klay Thompson’s contracts up in the next two offseasons, the looming luxury tax burden is massive. And with Curry now 35, and both Draymond and Klay crossing into their mid-30s, the Warriors’ core is aging fast.
This likely marks the final window for this dynasty to claim one more title. The pressure is immense—not just from outside expectations, but internally. Recently, Curry even changed his long-standing social media background from a photo with Kobe Bryant to an image of the Warriors’ championship quartet—a silent signal of his commitment to one more push.
That hunger for one last dance is clear. These latest wins, earned in the thick of adversity, feel like golden drops of hope in a brutal Western Conference. Bangladesh Cricket Live notes that with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving now in the West, the playoff picture has never been messier or more competitive. Yet even from the lower half of the bracket, the Warriors—battle-tested and burning with urgency—remain one of the favorites to emerge from the chaos.
