Could the 09 Lakers beat the Warriors?

[Malta]

No but that's because the era they played in was tougher. If that team played in this era, they would be considered a historically great team. Btw, that Rockets team and Nuggets team is better than any team the Warriors have faced so far including the game 1 cavs.

So, the Rockets without McGrady and Yao would beat the Cavs this year, the Nuggets would beat them too apparently? 2009 being a tougher era, this is some wild shyt.


I should make a thread off this but I wont, @Gil Scott-Heroin beloved come see the shyt in this thread.

That's 7 games out of 22, why didn't you post the -


20pt game on 6-15?
17pt game on 7-27?
19pt game on 6-20?
9pt game on 3-11?
14pt game on 5-15?
The 28pt game.....on 10-26?



He had just as many hot trash games against Iggy as he did the games you're bragging about, and in that 40pt game he was 15-34 AND they lost He damn sure wasn't going to put 30-40 on Iguodala easily, especially when Klay held him to 41% shooting in their games.

Fortunately for me, I have my eyes and watch the games and don't analyze hypothetical situations with stats. Imagine using stats as an argument at the barbershop. . Let me find out you go to first choice hair cutters.

that post when stans when confronted with stats they cant argue (after theyve been arguing stats ), deflect to barbershop talk, proceed to grab their heros dikk and tug dearly

Didn't say that. 'scust at this fake news. you really on your Trump shyt.

I said the Rockets and Nuggets were better than the game 1 Cavs. Who knows which Cavs team is gonna show up game 2 but that game 1 cavs team was not gonna beat the Nuggets or Rockets playing that way.

(1) Regular season records mean nothing. A scrub squad last year won 73 games. And were exposed in the finals as frauds. And in 2009, we saw in the playoffs that LeBron's Cavs team was all smoke and mirrors as garbage ass Dwight Howard beat them.

You honestly need to stop relying on regular season records as if they mean a thing.

(2) I never claimed the 05-06 Suns were as talented as the Warriors. I only said they played STYLISTICALLY like the current Warriors. The 2006 Lakers were able to hang with them by slowing the game and pounding them down low with Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom. And just as the present day Warriors are significantly more talented than the 2006 Suns so are the 2009 Lakers more talented than the 2006 Lakers who were able to force the Suns into a 3-1 deficit by exploiting their advantage in size and slowing down the pace.

I love how you are avoiding the actual basketball analysis of a matchup between the 2009 Lakers front court versus the 2017 Warriors like a plague. Kobe haters like yourself love reminding us every time the 2009 & 2010 Lakers championship teams are brought up that Kobe benefited from having the best frontcourt in the NBA at that time with 3 talented back to the basket 7 footers. Now you are acting like Gasol, Odom, and Bynum are a bunch of nobodies.

You gotta love the hypocrisy.

Lamar odom was good but never dominant, that frontcourt wouldn't be able to stay on the floor they'd get killed on pick and rolls time and time again that lakers squad would have no answer for kd, klay or curry they got too much fire power we've never seen a team with this type of offensive

You got some nerve talking about fake news, some of the quotes you've taken out of context could get me killed on the streets I'm giving you a pass cause you're not in mid-season form right now.


Aight, so the Rockets without Yao and McGrady are better than the Game 1 Cavs, word?


Please break down how 2009 was a "tougher" era since it was the same exact rules teams play with today

Exact same rules?

Because in 2009, guys were flopping on 3 pointers getting fts?



2009 had better players, more skilled players and better defenders.

Lebron is one of the best players in 2017. That says enough.

There were more fouls & freethrows in 2008-2009 than this year


Dwight Howard was top 5 in 2009, your case is done with breh.

Last year I saw someone argue that the warriors would get crushed by the 1996-97 hawks . This is nothing new sadly

You do realize Devin Harris made an all-star team and was top 5 in freethrows that year right?



Yes, the NBA is considerably more talented now than then, are you kidding me

Devin Harris was legit back then. Kyle Lowry is a top 5 PG in the NBA.
