The Warriors lost their winning edge in 2019 with multiple injuries and the exit of Kevin Durant. Ever since, they’re still an injury-trodden roster with no replacement for KD. So in a way, they do not seem to have a title shot this upcoming season unless the Splash Brothers bring their peak playing days back.

Speaking about the duo, Klay Thompson’s return will take some time, and hence Steph Curry will be on his own in the starting month(s). Sure, they’ll have a young squad with two first-round picks and a veteran in Andre Iguodala, but a competitive WC will put them on the test.

What are the key GSW fixtures in 2021-22?

The Warriors will get a decent warmup against the Blazers, the Lakers, and the Nuggets. This will certainly help them gain some momentum because their two opening games are against better rosters.

October 19- vs Lakers: This one’s going to be more of a revenge game from the play-in tournament earlier in the year. Steph Curry would like to make LeBron James pay for that game-winning three-pointer. However, the Lakers are the WC’s best roster on paper and chances are very high that they’ll again end up winning.

October 21- vs Clippers: This can be the Warriors’ game to start a winning course. The Clips Nation will not have Kawhi Leonard and this can be a blow for them on both ends. With Draymond Green’s elite defense and Curry’s shotmaking, the Warriors can win this one even without court advantage.

November 16-vs Nets: After 11 easier draws, the Warriors’ next big test will come as they face the EC’s most dangerous Big Three. By this time, they’ll hope for a Klay Thompson comeback, but that’s being very optimistic. All-in-all, the Warriors have a real shot at a decent regular season this time around.
