Ranking the Worst Golden State Warriors Seasons of the Last 25 Years

The Golden State Warriors have developed a reputation of being one of the worst teams in the league and lets just say that this article will not be any different. This season marks the fifth one in a row in which the Warriors have failed to make the postseason.

However, to their credit, they have actually put together some solid seasons and had they been in the East they would have made the postseason more often then they do.

Well, that about sums up all the praise the Warriors will get in this article, let's get to the bad part.

10. 1997 Season

Winning Percentage: 37%

Let's get going with number 10.

The man in the picture to your left is Bimbo Coles. Don't worry I will forgive you for not remembering who he was. He was on the team along with Joe Smith, Latrell Sprewell and an aging Chris Mullin.

This team boasted one of the worst defenses in the league, allowing 104 points per game. Just a reminder, this is only the tenth worst team.

9. 2009 Season

Winning Percentage: 35%

Terrible team (this will be a reoccurring pattern). The Warriors were ranked second in offense, but dead last in defense allowing more than 112 points a contest.

They did not have one single All Star named that year (shock) and had a whole crew of guys who were headaches in the locker room after losses; of which there were many.

Oh, and of course, just like a very significant number of teams on this list, this one was also coached by the guy with the most coaching wins in history, Don Nelson. 

8. 2012 Season

Winning Percentage: 35%

The season we just ended is one of the worst for multiple reason.

Obviously, there is the fact that they only won about a third of their games, but also they made one of the worst trades of the season when they gave up Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut.

Don't take me wrong, Bogut is a great player, but he has not played in at least 70 games since 2009 and is one of the most injury-prone players in the league. This trade really did not impact the Warriors' record, but it will hurt them later on.

7. 1995 Season

Winning Percentage: 32%

In case the dedicated Warriors fans don't know, the man in the picture is Chris Gattling. This Warriors team also ranked 27th in defense, allowing 111 points per game.

Their offense was OK, as it ranked sixth in the league, too bad they averaged five points less than they allowed.

6. 2010 Season

Winning Percentage: 31%

In 2010, the Warriors decided to be number one in something and finished with the worst defense in the league and allowed more than 112 points a game. Their roster was filled with bench warmers and role players who unfortunately for Golden State, saw big minutes.

5. 2002 Season

Winning Percentage: 26%

If this roster played today, they could very well be competing with the Bobcats for the bottom spot in the league. No one on the team shot at or above 45 percent.

4. 1988 Season

Winning Percentage: 24%

Yikes, it's only getting worse. The Warriors allowed 115 points per contest while scoring 107 per game. They were beat by double digits on a nightly basis.

3. 2000 Season

Winning Percentage: 23%

A team filled to the top with bad players and was bad on both ends of the court.

2. 1998 Season

Winning Percentage: 23%

22 players played at some point for the Warriors that year and all of them were bad. The team was simply built terribly. Their defense was in the top 20, but their offense was horrendous.

1. 2001 Season

Winning Percentage: 21%

This season is beyond words and the only highlight is Jason Richardson winning the dunk contest. The team shot 41% from the field on the season and was ranked 29th in points allowed.

That's It!

I think this can put the video on the left in context and maybe now people will understand why the fans have no tolerance for the management.
