At 18-3, the start of the 2021-22 NBA season could not have gone better for the Golden State Warriors. They’ve checked all of the boxes through the first quarter of play and have the engine running smoothly as names like James Wiseman and Klay Thompson prepare to join the fight.

However, it has not been all perfect. While the Dubs are playing some of the best two-way basketball in the NBA and have quality reinforcements on the horizon, they can still clean up a few errors.

The Golden State Warriors have opened the season in a strong way but these three flaws need to be addressed sooner rather than later.

The Warriors’ flaws were exposed against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday when they collapsed in the fourth quarter despite Devin Booker being on the sideline. It was not the type of loss that causes any panic, to be fair, but it did highlight some areas the Dubs should be working on.

As we wrap up the first 21 games and look ahead to the future, here are three flaws the Warriors should address sooner rather than later.
