The Golden State Warriors had a phenomenal first week of games. They went 3-0 and are sitting on top of the Western Conference. There is a lot of talk around the Warriors being championship contenders, but it is way too early to take that seriously. Everyone is talking about the Warriors like this is the end of the season. The season just started, and these are the top five overreactions to the Warriors’ first week.

Klay Thompson had a big first week. He was a catalyst in the Warriors' 3-0 record and he signed a major contract, but Thompson will be outplayed at some point. He has always been criticized for his lack of consistency and eventually his inconsistencies will creep in.

The Warriors can proudly sit atop the Western Conference for now, but with teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets also in the mix, it’s not likely that’s where they’ll stay.

Golden State Warriors fans think Andrew Bogut is one of the best centers in the league. They are wrong and the Warriors can win without him. He isn't that great and gets injured all the time. Bogut hasn’t played a full season since his rookie year. He will miss games, and if the Warriors lose the games that he doesn’t play, Warrior fans will blame the loss on Bogut missing.

Danny Green and Tony Parker are reigning NBA champions, and Chris Paul and J.J. Redick are the backcourt that eliminated the Warriors from the playoffs last season. Thompson and Curry are a great backcourt but not the best in the NBA; even if they end up being the best it is too early to make that claim.

The Warriors have gone 3-0 under Steve Kerr, something they never did under Mark Jackson. Jackson not leading the team to 3-0 doesn’t mean that Kerr is a better coach; it means he has a better team than Jackson did. Kerr is a first time coach, and his record won’t continue to be perfect.
