The Warriors are heading into this season with a very different vibe than they had at around this same time last season.
Last year they were fresh off a championship, but there was a lot of uncertainty about the health of Steve Kerr.
Due to complications from back surgery, Kerr was forced to miss the first 43 games last season while Luke Walton filled in as head coach.
As preseason basketball is about to begin, the circumstances surrounding the Warriors this year are certainly different.
Although they signed Kevin Durant and successfully revamped their roster after winning 73 games last year, they ended the 2015-2016 season on a bad note.
