Despite finishing the season with a 48-34 record, six more wins than the previous season, the Warriors failed to qualify for the playoffs, as all eight seed teams in the Western conference finished with a 50+ winning record. The Warriors has the second highest winning percentage (.585) of any team who failed to make the playoffs behind the 1971–72 Phoenix Suns. This had fans severely criticizing the conference system in the league as the Warriors had a better record than all eastern conference playoff teams up to the third seed. Teams such as the Atlanta Hawks had sub or .500 winning percentages but still managed to make the postseason.
