But what about defense?
Well, recently, the NBA community discovered a recent stat about the Warriors’ defense this season. And boy, is it going to be a delight for Warriors fans to see.

Yep. They’re that good.
Now, we will admit, while Draymond Green is genuinely starting to regress as a player, he is still perhaps the biggest part of this. However, players like Juan-Toscano Anderson, Gary Payton II, Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter Jr., and even Jordan Poole deserve a massive amount of credit.
Simply put, in just a season, the Warriors have gone from a tea missing the playoffs, to one that is the favorite to make the Western Conference Finals.
Jesus Christ, this team evolves quickly.
