Warriors: Andre Iguodala knows this team has yet to peak

The Golden State Warriors have had stretches of excellence this season, but even their own players know they’ve yet to peak as a team.

After both a 33-point beatdown by a top Eastern Conference threat and a double-digit defeat of the West’s second-best team, the Golden State Warriors top players know there is still work to be done.

The Dubs haven’t been the league’s best team since the All-Star break. But, throughout this entire season, they haven’t been the league’s most impressive team, leaving question marks all over following several bad losses.

They’ve lost to teams like Houston without James Harden and Toronto without Kawhi Leonard. However, at the same time, they have defeated some of the league’s better teams.

But, while these games do matter, this team excels in the postseason, and that’ll be the only time that matters. They’ve lost just six games throughout eight postseason series over the last few years. They just dominate the postseason. They take their game to the next level.

Andre Iguodala, the Warriors’ No. 1 threat off the bench, knows this team’s peak. He said that the team “still haven’t played our ‘A’ game.’

Iguodala is exactly right too.

The 15-year veteran understands the level of play this team can get to. He was on the team when they went 73-9, when they lost just one playoff game throughout an entire postseason run, and when they dominated even without Kevin Durant.

Also mentioning there’s “room for improvement,” the bulk of improvement that the Golden State Warriors could make revolves around chemistry and unselfishness. Much of it also centers around how they still get DeMarcus Cousins to his old, dominant self.

Hearing Iguodala admit that even the best team on planet earth can improve is important. There’s no amount of success that can take away his underdog mentality, and that’s one reason he’s been such a critical piece of this team’s success over the last few seasons.

Moving forward, the Dubs have an easy matchup with Phoenix. They follow that with two huge, primetime games against the Rockets and Thunder. Those, along with their recent statement win over Denver, will help this team find their rhythm with just weeks until the postseason.
