Hide from it. Run from it. You can not avoid it. The Golden State Warriors are back and playing the best basketball in the NBA.

With a 9-1 record, the Dubs hold the league’s best record by a wide margin. Their second unit is flourishing and the starters are performing at an elite level. Soon, however, this team will be put to the test.

The 2021-22 NBA season is ramping up for the Golden State Warriors who have a few tough games ahead of them on the schedule.

Golden State has had the luxury of not playing too many high-end teams to start the season. While they toppled both Los Angeles teams, a rising Charlotte Hornets squad and a worthy Atlanta Hawks team — the majority of the Warriors’ opponents have been below .500.

This is going to change as we enter the back half of November. The schedule gets a bit tougher as the Dubs embark on a road trip next week that could prove challenging. Here, we highlight three upcoming games that will work as a good litmus test for the Warriors.
