Do you think they break 72 wins?
My answer in short: Yes
Notable games left: 3 vs SA, 2 vs LAC, and 1 vs OKC
Even if they win half those games they have a 3 game cushion and face some pretty awful teams.
A lot of people are pointing to 3 remaining matchups vs SA, but leave out an important fact: 2 of those meetings are in the last 4 games of the season. And unless Pop breaks away from his ways (and assuming they are even in position to ruin GS's chase) he's not gonna be playing Duncan, Parker and Ginobili much, if at all.
I think they finish 2-3 games ahead of the record (74-8 or 75-7).
... Injuries
... Injuries
I mean thats always in play but based on how the seasons gone so far, I don't think injuries will deter the course much unless one of Klay, Steph, or Green get hurt.
ala 2001 Seattle Mariners lol
If they can keep the team together and stay healthy, they'll have a shot to have a real dynasty.
You know what? I'd actually be kind of cool with that.
Someone wins the title every year. No one except one team has 72+ wins in a season.
They're an all-time great team. And fun to watch too. I'm debating going to Atlanta to catch them out after the ASB.
With an upgrade in the bench, they could be a really, really good team in a few years.
After decades of being an utter laughing stock -- bottom of the barrel, really -- The Warriors are really a unique, almost serendipitous blend of competence from top to bottom. From ownership to management to scouting to coaches to player to medical staff, they're in a really enviable spot.

But my suspicion is that they'll be limited by their coaching staff and potentially their front office.

I think that's true. Walton would also be a great candidate. Hell, even Mark Jackson. It's just unfortunate that a franchise like the T'Wolves is very unlikely to make the right hire.
