The season for the Warriors has been a very rocky road. At first, the Warriors were a little bit out of tune. Klay Thompson, since breaking out several years back, has had the worst season his entire career (and still made the All-Star team, go figure).

The responsibility to carry the team has solely fallen on Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. With hardly any depth, it took the Warriors nearly three months to finally grab hold of the top spot in the West.
Thankfully, the addition of DeMarcus Cousins gives head coach Steve Kerr more options with his rotations. The Warriors never really had a center who could dominate in the paint and stretch the floor like Cousins. He's really set a fire underneath the team, and they seemed destined for success for the rest of the season.
The Dubs are now 36-15 and sit first in the NBA's Western Conference. They will face off next against the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
