4. The finals streak is still alive
Perhaps the most quirky outcome of a canceled season is that the Warriors would enter 2020-21 as the reigning Western Conference champions, just a year after miserably producing the worst record in the league.
The Warriors would still maintain their streak of 5 straight NBA finals appearances and have a realistic chance to build on it for 6 in a row. But, the league would have to be canceled in a period where they’re seemingly more likely to push some kind of alternate ending.
There’s no denying the 2020-2021 Warriors will be a championship-caliber team, so being able to continue this streak could certainly mean that they’d be able to contend to break even more records by making six.
That would surely be an interesting stat to explain to your grandchildren many years from now. And, with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and a top pick all healthy, expectations would be high coming into the season.
