My revised Warriors record prediction after impressive 5-0 home stand: 44-38
I now have them going 10-8 in final 18, 4-7 on road and 6-1 at home. This is a six game swing from what I thought exactly a week ago, when my guess was 38-44 - Haha! It unusual that there can be so much uncertainty this late in a season, but here we are.
As noted, Tim Kawakami thinks 9-9 is the most realistic guess. I think you have to account for SOME improvement on the road with the defense they have displayed of late. I just don't think it all of a sudden goes away when they leave home now. You might say 4-7 doesn't seem like it accounts for anything good, but the W's road win percentage to date is .233. I'm giving them .363, so just a little boost.
Does anyone see them doing better than 9-9/10-8 over final 18? Or maybe you see them doing worse? I'm curious to know what others are making of the W's. It's really hard to quantify with how the defense have improved, and then accounting for the return of Curry, Wiggins and GP2.
