Okay, so let me tell you about how I put together my thoughts on the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors roster. Man, that team was something else, right?
First off, I started by just jotting down names I could remember. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green… the obvious ones. I was trying to recall the entire starting lineup. I was digging deep in my brain!
Then, I actually went and did a search online. I used a search engine and typed in “Golden State Warriors 2015-16 roster”. I didn’t want to miss anyone important. It’s easy to forget a player here or there, especially the role players.
Once I had the full list, I really started thinking about what made that team so special. It wasn’t just the star power, though that definitely helped. It was the way they all fit together, the ball movement, the defense… everything was clicking.
- Curry’s shooting was unreal, obviously.
- Thompson was hitting everything too.
- Draymond was doing all the dirty work, playing point forward, setting screens, and defending like a madman.
I started breaking down the roles each player had. Andre Iguodala off the bench was huge. He brought veteran leadership and could still play at a high level. Guys like Shaun Livingston and Harrison Barnes were key pieces too.
I even looked into some of the less-heralded players. Festus Ezeli, Marreese Speights… they all contributed in their own ways. It was a deep team. EVERYONE played a role.
Then, I went back and watched some highlights. I watched some full games, too. I wanted to really get a feel for the team again, the way they played together. This was super important for me to really understand and feel like I was ready to talk about the team!
After watching the games, I tried to find stats. Things like points per game, assists, rebounds, etc. Numbers don’t tell the whole story, but they can give you a better understanding of individual performances and team stats overall.
I was also looking at advanced stats, like true shooting percentage and win shares. These things can help you evaluate players beyond the basic box score numbers.
Finally, I just sat down and started writing. I organized my thoughts, trying to explain what made that Warriors team so dominant. I focused on the chemistry, the coaching, the individual talent, and how it all came together to create something special.
It was a fun trip down memory lane, revisiting that incredible season. That roster was legendary!
