NBA: 5 Reasons Why The Golden State Warriors Could Be Dethroned

#2 Are the Warriors one key injury away from collapsing?

Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Green, Andre Iguodala.

If any of these five players were to suffer an injury, will the Warriors be able to defend their title? It's a question worth contemplating. The league, or rather the Rockets, in particular, have gotten so used to Golden State's dominance that they've gone out of their way and stacked their roster to give them the best chance possible to beat a healthy Warriors squad, let alone a team that would one key player short. For Houston, an injury is a slight crack in the wall that they can exploit.

It would be unfair to bring the Warriors' record in the season so far without when any of these players have not played. The regular season is not the litmus test, it's the Playoffs.

The Warriors still have the largest margin for error, however, they have been so sloppy and inconsistent the past couple of weeks that it's worth debating as to whether they can handle the pressure and load if, god forbid, one of their key players was to go down.
