It’s been a hectic season for the Golden State Warriors.

It was a year that was filled with ups and downs for the Warriors. The Dubs were short Klay Thompson for the first half of the season, yet for the first few months, they were among the best teams in the NBA.

The Warriors will start their first-round battle with the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, and if these 3 players step up, the Dubs should come out on top.

Upon getting Thompson back after the new calendar year rang, the Dubs saw four-time All-Star forward Draymond Green suffer a back injury. While it’s not quite necessary for the Big 3, Stephen Curry, Green, and Thompson have played little together and that could cause problems in the postseason.

Then, you can add in third-year guard Jordan Poole who has been on fire as of late. With Andrew Wiggins in the mix as well, the Warriors’ playoff rotation and which sets will take the court against which lineups are going to be an interesting development.

Nonetheless, the playoffs are the Warriors for the taking, and if these three players step up to the plate, they’ll be just fine in the long run.
