Warriors Starting Five Destroying the Rest of the NBA

At 12-2 on the season, the Golden State Warriors are clearly the best team in the NBA heading into the holiday weekend. Now winners of seven in a row and with an average point differential in the double digits, the Warriors are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the top teams in the Association.

This is an absolutely stunning list of stats from Ben Golliver of SI.com. And while it was released prior to Golden State’s 17-point win over Miami on Tuesday and dominating win over Orlando on Wednesday, it just goes to show you how dominating the Warriors starting-five has been.

To make matters even more interesting, the Warriors have been without two-time All-Star David Lee for all but seven minutes this season.

Golden State’s starting-five is combining for a PER of nearly 90 through 14 games. In addition to that, this group has also combined for a +64.7 on the season.

Interestingly enough, the Warriors are also said to have one of the deepest teams in the NBA. Once Lee returns from his injury, their bench will consist of the following: Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Leandro Barbosa, Shaun Livingston, Marreese Speights and Brandon Rush.

Talk about a scary proposition for opposing NBA teams.
