The Golden State Warriors should never be counted out, but the 2025-26 season is going to throw some serious challenges their way.
The Western Conference has been steadily getting better, and the Warriors have been growing older.
Still, they have a fair chance of putting together an admirable record in the new season.
According to BetUS NBA, the Warriors are now projected to win 56 games this season.

For comparison, the Warriors went 48-34 last season, earning the seventh seed in the West.
They were able to make some noise in the playoffs, although they weren’t able to go all the way, especially because Steph Curry was injured.
The offseason was remarkably silent for the Warriors, at least for a while.
They had to figure out the Jonathan Kuminga situation, but once they did, they were able to bring in new talent such as Al Horford and Seth Curry.
Still, the roster doesn’t look that much different, which has some people questioning how their record could reach 56 wins.
But the league learned long ago to never underestimate Steph Curry and Steve Kerr.
They have a level of experience and accomplishments that cannot be matched.
Plus, there is a chance they have another trick up their sleeves around the trade deadline.
If the roster can be improved even more, the Warriors really might have a shot at climbing high in the Western Conference standings.
Of course, injuries will be an area of concern because the Warriors are now one of the oldest teams in the league, with multiple players over 35 years old.
However, that is the biggest worry about this team, and many people are expecting a vigorous season from Golden State.
