The Golden State Warriors – then the San Francisco Warriors – were a charter member of the Western Conference in 1970 but didn’t win the conference until 2015. The 45-year conference championship drought has been followed by nearly a decade of dominance.
Now with six Western Conference championships in the last eight years, the Warriors are once again among the NBA betting favorites to make another NBA Finals appearance.
