The 2005-06 NBA season was a challenging one for the Golden State Warriors, marked by both transitions and unmet expectations. The team, under head coach Mike Montgomery, ended the regular season with a 34-48 record. This placed them fourth in the Pacific Division and well outside the playoff picture in the highly competitive Western Conference. Their performance did not show significant improvement from the previous season, where they also failed to qualify for the playoffs.
During the season, the Warriors made a significant trade, acquiring Baron Davis from the New Orleans Hornets. Davis brought a spark to the team’s offense with his dynamic playmaking skills, but the team’s overall inconsistency and injuries hindered their ability to capitalize on his talent. Despite a promising start, including a 12-6 run in March, the Warriors struggled to maintain momentum and finished the season with a losing record.
Individually, Jason Richardson was a standout performer, leading the team in scoring with an average of 23.2 points per game. However, the lack of depth and defensive struggles were significant issues for Golden State throughout the season. The Warriors were ranked 22nd in the league for points allowed per game, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. Ultimately, the 2005-06 season was another rebuilding year for the franchise, setting the stage for future changes and improvements.
- Regular Season Record: 34-48
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
