So, for anyone who wants to listen/read some positives for a change, here you go..............everyone else, well go ahead and make your next "I forget how long ago we were losing (or wasnt even a fan then) and demand a championship/deep playoff run, so we need to pull this trade and that trade"
1 - I made a thread about this a few weeks ago when Monta was on 19.8, and we got there - Warriors are the first team in 17 years to have 3 players average 20ppg or more........oddly enough, the last team to do it was our very own Run TMC in 1990-91.
2 - I also made a thread about this one a week or so ago - Warriors are the first team since the 1948-49 Lakers (wont call them the Fakers as I normally do because they were in Minny then) to lead the league in both points scored and points allowed..........not a great one but we are still going down in the record books if you look at the bright side of it.
3 - Team Statistical Achievements - Warriors lead the league in forced turnovers - Warriors 8th in fewest turnovers committed - Warriors 5th in offensive rebounds per game - Warriors lead the league in both FG attempts and makes - Warriors lead the league in 3pt attempts and are 2nd in makes - Heres a big one = Warriors lead the league in MINUTES PLAYED and finally = Warriors lead the league in fast break points and point of turnovers
4 - Individual Player Statistical Achievements - Beans leads the league in FG% and is 6th in offensive rebounds - Baron is 2nd in steals, 6th in assists and 12th in scoring (oddly enough, tied with J-Rich on 21.8!!) - Monta 1st in the league among ALL GUARDS in FG% - Baron is 12th in Points/Reb/Assist totals (Im sure there are more but havnt quite collated them all yet)
5 - We finish 48-34.............6 more wins than last year, our most wins since 1993-94 and CHECK THIS OUT!!!...........only the 9th time in FRANCHISE HISTORY!!! that we have reached 48 wins or better!!!........and only the 6th time since the NBA went to 82 games in 1966-67............how about that???
Well.............those are the statistical achievements for the year (that I can see, feel free to add any you find)...........a nice collection if you ask me, especially the realisation of the record we have, given the amount of times we have reached this total of wins.
So, yes we didnt make the playoffs...........yes we fell apart at the end and shot our selves in the foot..............but I for one am extremely proud of this team AND FOR NOW!!! am still satisfied to even be within 1 to 2 games of making the playoffs (also the whole stacked conference and we are tied with 1971-72 Suns for the highest win total not to make the playoffs)...........after all these years of suffering/losing sub .500 seasons.
I say, Baron stays, Monta and Beans resigned, Azu resigned, S-Jax stays..............from there, I feel a big move coming that is going to put us back in the playoffs next year.
Peace, positivity, pride and celebration for what we have achieved to you all.
Edit - Wow..........look at all the pretty colours huh?
