I don't see how the Warriors can beat OKC in the first round anymore

On topic, the only squads we gotta worry about is the Spurs and Memphis for sure. The Clippers are a maybe because it mostly depends on which Blake shows up....

OKC playing good, but GSW's weakness are teams that can body us and OKC ain't got nobody in the post. Ibaka out there shooting 3's and Kanter ain't no consistent low post threat. Y'all gonna try to outscore us and that's a game we can win easy.

HCA doesn't mean as much in the NBA. Health and experience >>>>

I think GS home court can be an advantage and KD,Russy have some experience but they still aint good enough to put that team over the top...they werent good enough in 2013 as the top seed in the west and arent good enough as an 8 seed....Better defensive teams in the west have been there achilles in the playoffs...

In 2013 when Russ wasn't playing? :what: Fact remains they have gone further and done more than GSW and until GSW does something about that (in the playoffs) there is no real basis to put them over them...especially past playoff performance.

Why is everybody overrating the shyt out of OKC still? KD can't stay healthy, Westbrook is still crazy, and they have Scott Brooks as head coach. Scott Brooks... the only man to get out coached by Eric Spoelstra.

All of that was true, save KDs health, over the last 4 years when they have had the second best run out west to the Spurs. There aren't a lot of teams that I can see beating a healthy KD and Russ especially with the new additions. Them actually being healthy has become a legit concern though.

PLease, they would have lost to the Grizzlies if not for bullshyt calls last season. And if Westbrook keeps playing hero ball in the playoffs, they will not win.

Two can play this game - if Brooks didn't want until Game 6 to switch up the starting lineup, then the Grizzlies would've lost in less than seven games.

NO you can't play the same game. Brooks idiocy is a controlled circumstance that is not going to change. The Thunder calls, however, dried up drastically in the WCF. And by changing the starting lineup, you are referring to Z-Bo getting suspended :JJ: ?

We can go down a long list of even more egregious calls for teams that are revered so unless you are calling ALL of those into question as well this is not a road worth going down. Only two teams you can put over them in recent history is MIA and SA, there is no case for anyone else, period.They have won with him playing hero ball in the playoffs and I just don't see GSW as the type of squad to do anything about it.
