All-Star weekend festivities have concluded, and the Golden State Warriors are ready to come back home to the Bay Area, recharged in their quest to compete for their third straight NBA championship. At 41-16, the Warriors are atop the Western Conference standings and are heavy favorites come playoffs.
A large reason they are undisputed favorites has been the return of DeMarcus Cousins, capping perhaps the greatest starting lineup in NBA history. In his 11 games of action so far, the Warriors have gone 10-1. Naturally, the rehab process for DeMarcus Cousins isn’t over just yet, and while we’ve seen flashes since his return there are also areas of improvement still needed.
