"LOS ANGELES The Warriors begin the 2025-26 season in Los Angeles with the same, identical goal that every other Golden State iteration has: to win a championship. Although the ultimate goal remains unchanged, the possibilities that exist between Tuesday's regular-season opener and a hypothetical fifth title of the Steph Curry and Steve Kerr era are almost limitless. With the season beginning, here are five predictions for the Warriors' season between now and then."
"The Warriors, who revolutionized the basketball world with high-volume 3-point shooting, are not currently represented in the top three for most long bombs attempted in a season. Last year's Celtics used coach Joe Mazzula's penchant for 3s to attempt a mind-boggling 48.3 triples a night, three more than the 2019 and 2020 James Harden-led Rockets. The Warriors have led the league in volume only twice, once in 2015-16 and the other in 2022-23, when they averaged 43.2 attempts, good for fourth all-time."
The Warriors begin the 2025-26 season aiming to win a championship and pursue a potential fifth title in the Steph Curry–Steve Kerr era. Offensive strategy will emphasize historic 3-point volume, fueled by Al Horford at center, an older roster, and preseason pace that produced 45.3 attempts per game even with veterans limiting minutes. The Celtics led the league last year with 48.3 threes per game; the Warriors have previously averaged 43.2 attempts in 2022-23. Jonathan Kuminga signed a $46.5 million contract and, despite trade speculation when eligible on Jan. 15, is predicted to remain a Warrior for the full season.
