10-37. Previous: 29th. Golden State Warriors. 29. team. 41.

Golden State Warriors:

Offense: (103.4) 30th
Defense: (112.1) 23rd
Net: (minus -8.7) 28th

Results Week 14: (0-3) Lost vs. Blazers: 124-129 (OT), Jazz: 96-129, Pacers: 118-129
Games Week 15: (3 games) Tues at 76ers | Thurs at Celtics | Sat at Cavaliers

The tankathon continued through week 14 with the Warriors flirting with winning but more content to lose as they focus on June.

Adding to the mix was the trade of Willie Cauley-Stein to the Mavericks signaling greater intent in the tank. Just wait until June when the Warriors end up with the top pick in the draft and fans freak out over what that will mean to a club one year removed from five straight NBA Finals trips and three championships.

Looking ahead to week 15 the Dubs will face two elite clubs via the 76ers and Celtics and get a shot to add a win versus another low-level team who they are fighting with to get the top draft pick (Cavaliers)
