The only predictable element about the start of this NBA season has been the randomness, from the individual performances to the top of the standings. It’s critical to note, less than an eighth of the season has been played.
But a few of these surprises look sustainable, even if it won’t be at the rate they’re performing now.
It’s not as much of a shock when you consider the Warriors’ schedule has been home laden (eight of 11 at Chase Center) and the opponent list hasn’t read like a who’s who of contenders.
But the Warriors shouldn’t have to apologize for dismissing all but one opponent with such ease; all schedules wind up leveling out by the end of the season.
