Question: Will GSW Repeat As NBA Champs Next Season?

[MJ Truth]

How? The only unhealthy what if team is OKC. The Rockets lost in 5 games, Beverly wouldn't make that much difference.

The Cavs wouldn't be a factor until next years finals anyway. Either way they can still make it to the Finals.

The Spurs and Clippers would have given them problems in a series this year. I think, barring any huge free agent move or trade, this current team has as good of a chance as anyone of coming out of the West again. We gotta see where Alddidge and Gasol end up first though.

Everybody healthy I see a Cavs-Thunder finals though but I'd prefer a rematch of this finals.

 

[MJ Truth]

Naw, Irving was there for game 1 and Cavs lost. A healthy Cavs goes 7 games but they still probably lose to a Warriors team with HCA.

Don't forget about Love though (Varejao as well if you want). That team beats the Warriors in six.

I like their chances.


We will see next season

 

[Originalman]

The Thunder will be able to play small and matchup vs them, if healthy the Thunder should be the team to beat in the West.

Hell I think you can't even count out the Spurs. The warriors got a lot of breaks with point guard injuries. Also does Bigot stay healthy next year. Houston will make some moves as well.

Folks don't understand how hard it is to repeat in the NBA. Teams gun so hard at you during the regular season.

The Clippers have a chance if Blake continues playing at the level he did during the series against the Spurs

 

[Originalman]

Cavs were a top 5 defensive team after they traded for Mozgov.

Dudes know nothing about basketball. With Moz, Irving and Love the Cavs were playing at a historical pace.

 

[SoulController]

depends on the Thunder's health, and how LAC/SAS maneuver. they have as good as a chance as any recent champ

Cavs really the only East team i can think of that will matter, ATL bound to slip and the Bulls got some weird shyt goin on

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The Clippers have a chance if Blake continues playing at the level he did during the series against the Spurs

As long as Chris Paul is the main player on that team, they'll never win a title.

So? No one stopped to feel sorry for the Warriors when Bogut was injured for two years. Or Curry for three. The Spurs won the year the Warriors were injured and the Warriors still took them to 6 games. So the Spurs are "lucky"?

End of the day the Warriors are one of the best team in the NBA and showed that all season. Not many teams are a threat to them bottom line. If you want to pretend that the Warriors didn't win the season series against these same teams when they were healthy be my guest.

Nobody feels sorry for any of these teams. And yes the Spurs have had some luck the past few years on top of being good, generally every team that wins it has some decent luck come their way. Once again to repeat this since you apparently think I'm saying it was all luck, the Warriors are really really good. Just the amount of lucky things that went their way probably isn't happening again & therefore I don't think they are going to repeat.

OKC is the main competition to win the West.

Can't really count on the Spurs because Tony Parker is finished and Ginobili is also finished, I doubt he has another 2014 in him if he comes back. They don't have enough playmakers should he retire.

The Clippers won't have the depth and the way they choked this year shouldn't have anyone with confidence.

The Grizzlies still need shooting and Joerger needs a stretch PF and bring Randolph off the bench with Allen.

Yep. People always play the champs harder and stronger. They want to prove a point. I expect to see some reallll physical play.

 

[CM_Burns]

They didn't have to play OKC, Spurs, or Clippers, and they played the Cavs without Kyrie or Love. I don't see it next year.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Way too early, still a lot of talent out west, so they could easilybe one of the top 1-2 teams and see a 2nd round exit. We winnin right now tho

Seeding were GREATLY affected this year due to OKC and the Spurs not being 100% a big portion of the season. Not saying he's an X factor series changing talent but Conley was hurt against GS too

 

[Chris Cool]

okc is just some Goliath unstoppable team now? fukk outta herethey ain't about to do shyt.
