But all of a sudden, the Warriors seem to be one of the underestimated teams after their falling short for a number of seasons.
It's not all of a sudden when the Warriors have been on the decline after KD left the team. I'm not underestimating them but I really think there are at least four more teams that's better than them in the West at the moment (even with Curry and Thompson back healthy).

Clippers are silent and just moved players once for Eric Bledsoe. I think they are building chemistry instead of rebuilding the team which is a great idea.
I was hoping they sign Marc Gasol from Lakers. He and Kahwi had a good connection back in Toronto during their title run.
Also, after KD left, it was a complete rebuild by the GSW, maintaining only their big 3, Curry, Thompson and Green. The rest of the championship team are now gone, maybe except for Andre Iguodala, who is a returning player. Curry was back last year, showing flashes and still at his prime, become the scoring champion, but was eliminated and didn't make it to the playoffs.
But with Klay Thompson back in the team, I think they can make it in this year playoff, but going to the finals will be very difficult as there are a lot of good teams in the West.
