The Warriors have been residents of hoops hell the past few seasons, and last season might have been the worst. They were one of the most injury- riddled teams in the NBA, usually throwing out lineups that no opponent could look at with a straight face.
You want seriously ugly numbers? Try last in the league in field-goal percentage and 3-point accuracy and 27th in hitting free throws. Golden State also was the only team to give up more than 100 points per game. Then there was the matter of an infinitesimal victory total.

OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Dave Cowens said he hadn't formally nailed down his second backcourt starter but intimated it would be Larry Hughes.
Cowens said Sunday that Bob Sura would be one of the starting guards for the regular-season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers in Portland on Wednesday, but that he was still deciding whether Hughes or rookie Jason Richardson would start alongside Sura.
Monday, Cowens said he was still figuring it out. However, when it was suggested that it might make sense to bring Richardson off the bench and pair him in the backcourt with veteran Mookie Blaylock, a backcourt sub, Cowens smiled and said, "You should write that."

Are you ready for some football . . . whoops, basketball?
Yes, we know, we know. This is still baseball season (barely) and football season. In this crowded market, where every sport known to man seems to collide at this time of the year, it is, indeed, time for some basketball.
The Warriors, full of hope in late October, will open play with four games in the next seven days. They'll be on the road Wednesday and Saturday. The Warriors' home opener against the Suns is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the arena to-be-named-later in Oakland, and they'll be back at the same location at 6 p. m. Sunday to test the Trail Blazers.
