Despite his team being the heavy favorite to win the title again this season, Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers admits the competition in the Western Conference playoffs has him worried.

The playoffs start this Saturday. As it stands, the Warriors would take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.

“I’m worried about the competition,” Bob Myers told Mark Medina of The Mercury News. “We should be. They’re all good. Who we play in the first round is going to be a good team. If we get by them, we play another good team. It’s supposed to be hard. It will be hard.”

“We need to stay healthy, and I want every other team to stay healthy. Not just ours. We want to play teams at their best. We want to be at our best. Then you take whatever result you get. I want health for us and every other 15 teams in the playoffs. We should fear the competition.”

The Warriors are the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. They are looking to win their third-straight title and fourth ring in five years.

The Houston Rockets took the Warriors to Game 7 of the Conference Finals last season. Rockets star James Harden is playing even better than last year. The Oklahoma City Thunder have two of the best players in the league in Russell Westbrook and Paul George, so they will always pose a threat.
