OAKLAND – Last summer, when the Warriors acquired all-star big man DeMarcus Cousins, many NBA observers predicted this year’s iteration of Golden State, with five all-stars in their starting lineup, would “ruin the league.”
In nearly two weeks, with Cousins in the lineup after recovering from a torn Achilles, coupled with the improved play of Draymond Green and unworldly performances from Stephen Curry, the Warriors have employed an offensive performance never seen in the league during the modern era.
Now, with a matchup with the Sixers looming Thursday night, Golden State is trying to maintain its offensive prowess.
