A new season means a new set of challenges for the Golden State Warriors to overcome.

Although the Dubs are in a much better position than they were in the last two years, the adversity is far from over.

The 2021-22 NBA season has been kind to the Golden State Warriors thus far but they have a few daunting challenges to overcome.

Golden State has clawed its way back to the top of the Western Conference after a brief hiatus in the NBA Draft Lottery. 21 wins are good for the most in the NBA so far but going 3-3 over their last six games is starting to ring some alarms.

What issues are plaguing the Warriors? Do they have the talent to overcome their weaknesses or are they doomed to enter the postseason vulnerable?

Here, we look at three challenges the Dubs have to overcome and what they need to do in order to succeed.
