The Golden State Warriors are off to a scorching hot start to the season thanks to the MVP-caliber performance of Stephen Curry and the brilliant offensive play-calling by new head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors are currently winners of 10 straight, with last night’s victory over the Orlando Magic featuring a soul-crushing three-pointer in transition by Curry with 2.2 seconds left to give his team a 98-97 victory.

The Warriors are 15-2, which is not only the best record in the Pacific Division, but leaves them tied with the Memphis Grizzlies for the best record in the NBA as of right now.

While one could easily make the case that this Warriors squad is one of the best teams in the NBA, and perhaps now a legitimate title contender, this is not the main reason to watch them play on a nightly basis. They have been a fun team during the last few seasons, but never one that did any true damage in the playoffs as evidenced by a second-round exit in 2013, followed by a first-round exit last season. Now, as they set their sights on a championship and their confidence is soaring through the roof, the Warriors have become hands down the most exciting team to watch in the NBA.

We already know how fearless the quick-footed and sharpshooting Curry is, especially in transition where he uses his footwork and handling to his advantage to free up just enough space to launch a three-pointer. It is not just his shooting that makes him so special, though, for his passing ability and his skill in reading defenses along with being able to find cutters to the basket is also breathtaking to watch.

His ‘Splash Brother’ Klay Thompson, who has a striking resemblance to Curry in both appearance and the way he plays, has also taken his game to another level. His shooting coupled with his length and ability to guard point guards, shooting guards and small forwards gives the Warriors so much flexibility that it is easy to see why they inked him to a long-term extension before the start of this season.

The Warriors have more than shooting, though, as seen through the athleticism of players like Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, who could sky high for a highlight dunk or alley-oop on any given play. Iguodala may be a little bit on the older side now at 30 years of age, but it is still fun to watch him on the break. It has also been riveting to watch the maturation of both Barnes and Green, who are both young and have fully embraced their chance to start under Kerr.

This is a young team that is playing exceptionally well together and has the shooting and defense that any fan would love to see from their squad.

And speaking of the fans, the Warriors’ fanbase has always been one of the best in the NBA with a noise-meter that is frequently measured by networks when their team is showcased on national TV. Even when the Warriors were a so-so team during the 2000s (with exception to the 2006-07 season when they upset the Dallas Mavericks in the first round as a No. 8 seed), their crowd has always been excellent. They are a huge reason as to why the Warriors are so difficult to beat at home, and their enthusiasm and support for their team has not gone unnoticed. Now, as the Bay Area sees their squad becoming a title contender before their very eyes, the excitement is sure to only skyrocket further.

It is a good time to be a fan of the Warriors, and diehard NBA fans should do their best to make sure they catch as many of their games as possible during this season.
