Could the 2015/2016 Warriors beat the 2010-2014 Miami Heat?

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

No. Celtics would bully them. We're not seeing grown man basketball this year. Curry's leg wouldn't make it past game two.

They didn't play prison ball, and you can't play Kendrick Perkins big minutes on a good team in today's NBA. Same goes for rondo since he can't shoot.

Rondo didn't score in '08. Length bothered Warriors in the Thunder series. Celtics would outrebound them and play better defense than OKC did. And Pierce and KG can get any shot they want and Allen was still near the peak of his game. They'd have more than enough scoring to balance it out.

The intelligence of that Celtics team >>>> '15-'16 Thunder

Not playing essentially 3 on 5. Even in his prime teams would back off rondo and dare him to shoot the ball

they can even give Sam more minutes. He didn't play much in the '08 playoffs but during the regular season he had many 20-point games. Even a couple 30+ games.

They can run Allen and Posey out there for defensive purposes and Posey's J was lookin nice. Celts had all the pieces you need.

Yes. Probably the only championship team that could compete with them are the 3 peat Lakers.

Lebron had no way of knowing back then a monster was forming

They should've realized those boys were good going toe to toe with the Heat like that
