Warriors' Have a Playoff Roster

Many polls and reports indicate that most Warrior fans believe that the Warriors have a solid playoff roster. While this may be true, it's also what us Warrior fans have believe the past 3 years. What happened then? Exactly.

From the 2008-2012 playoffs, I've been saying the Warriors will get it right next season. That was all mindless thinking. Now, I believe the Warriors actually do have a legitimate shot to make a deep post-season run. I'm backed up with stats. Many other writers and analyzers have also predicted that the Warriors will finally make the playoffs again.
Let's look at the main fact:

- The Dubs have 5 solid starters. These starters (Curry, Thompson, Bogut, Lee, Barnes) are already one of the stronger lineups in the NBA. Now think about their bench players. Jack, Rush/Bazemore, Jefferson/Green, Landry, and Ezeli could form their own starting lineup. Other teams going to be tired and switching to their second core. The Warriors may do the same, but their second core is good enough to extend the lead, or possibly make up the difference.

The X Factor:

- Marc Jackson has to get it right this season. The Warriors have added more presence on the offensive end, and the defensive end. They have size, speed, and length. If they fail to win this season, Jackson will likely be fired. He has to coach the Warriors to a winning record. What good is a team if they don't have a good coach?
