The 2010-11 Golden State Warriors season marked a transitional period for the franchise. Under the leadership of first-year head coach Keith Smart, the team aimed to improve upon their previous 26-56 record. The Warriors finished the season with a 36-46 record, which, while not securing a playoff spot, reflected a noticeable improvement. This season was also notable for the change in ownership, with Joe Lacob and Peter Guber taking control of the team.
Key players during this season included Monta Ellis, who led the team in scoring, averaging 24.1 points per game, and Stephen Curry, who continued to develop as a promising young talent, averaging 18.6 points and 5.8 assists per game. David Lee, acquired in a trade with the New York Knicks, provided a significant boost in the frontcourt, contributing 16.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
Despite their offensive capabilities, the Warriors struggled defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency. This season highlighted the need for a stronger defensive presence and more balanced team play. The Warriors showed flashes of potential but lacked the consistency needed to compete with the top teams in the Western Conference.
Overall, the 2010-11 season was a step forward for the Warriors, laying the groundwork for future success. The development of young talent like Curry and the improved team record were positive signs for the direction of the franchise. However, it was clear that further changes were necessary to transform the Warriors into a playoff contender.
- Regular Season Record: 36-46
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
