The Golden State Warriors clinched their first Pacific Division title since the 1975-76 season. The Warriors are also one win away from tying the franchise record for most wins in a season at 59, and they still own the best record in the NBA at 58-13.

In this week’s Warriors Mailbag post, we will discuss the best possible first round matchup for the Warriors, if Klay Thompson is the most important Warriors player behind Stephen Curry, and if the Warriors will regret not trading David Lee.

This is the 10th edition of the Warriors Mailbag, which is a series of weekly posts that involve answering questions about the Warriors sent to me by fans over Twitter.

In last week’s Warriors Mailbag, we discussed who would step up with Thompson out due to injury, Andrew Bogut‘s minutes for the rest of the season, and how the Warriors can improve heading into the playoffs.

Thank you to the fans that submitted questions this week. Let’s get the 10th edition of the Warriors Mailbag started.
