The Warriors are experiencing a honeymoon phase.
After defeating the Lakers in the opener, they lost 2 of the next 4 games, finishing the first ten games with only a 6-4 record, which caused serious doubts about the team, dubbed the "Universe Warriors" by fans before the season started.
However, it was later proven to be just the usual growing pains of James' team's integration period.
After all, James is not a player like Durant who can be "a tactical supplement"; he needs the team to revolve around his strategies, testing the new team's adaptability and adjustment capabilities.
In reality, the Warriors have shown they are worthy of being a 73-win team; they seamlessly integrated into James' tactical system, creating a new Warriors team.
They have remained undefeated in December, achieving a 12-game winning streak.
The Splash Brothers have seamlessly integrated into this tactical system, and the Curry-James pick-and-roll has become a lethal weapon for the Warriors.
