Refs want gsw to win so bad lmao

Shoutout to the homie LeagueCapper from covers.com where he basically ethers the reality behind golden state's streak

Here are all the defensive rankings of the teams they've faced so far.

"29th, 28th, 29th, 13th, 19th, 23rd, 30th, 13th, 18th, 20th, 19th, 23rd, 27th, 26th, 30th. Tonight they will face at #3 Utah without Harrison Barnes."

Strength of schedule for Golden State: 28

Yellow boys bodying a bunch of bums

Thing I don't like about strength of schedule is that most calculations of it usually factor in that teams own games. So by the end of the year, the good teams will all come out with the easiest SOS but the bad teams will all come out with the hardest.

'Strength of schedule' is perhaps the most misleading stat in sports.

And yet if you followed it tonight you would've known Jazz +8 was a lock Funny how "useless" stats work, huh?

No one is saying the Warriors are a bad team, but let's keep it a buck. Let them body the Spurs, Cavs, and Thunder and quit going at them wiping out the Lakers and Queens

 

[USSInsiders]

Uhhhhh, guess what the defenses of those teams all have in common, thus contributing to those bad defensive rankings?

Hurr durr they played the warriors. No, they're just shytty defensive teams fam.

 

[USSInsiders]

Can't wait for them to get exposed when they have 30 straight games against top 3 defensively ranked teams like every other team in the league does

Same here. "Can't wait!" - Bart Simpson

OP is a heinously bad poster.

Why because a stupid stat like SOS laid claim to the strong possibility of the 3rd ranked defensive team playing them close as if some of the worst defensive teams (Nets and Clippers) didn't come close to beating them? SOS is a bullshyt stat, and defensive ratings based on a handful of games don't mean shyt either, especially since teams are typically to give their best effort when playing the Warriors. This is all without mentioning they've played the Clippers, Grizzlies, Kings and Pelicans twice, and their offensive performances against these teams would affect their defensive rating more than if they were to typically play an average offensive team.

It's not a perfect science my g, but it helps provide clarity

Starting January they play a playoff team every other game so we will see how good they are then...

It is pretty strange that every time i turn on the TV they playing the Pelicans, Kings, or Lakers...

Nets have one of the worst defenses in the league, yet they were one basket away from beating them.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

So is it the refs or the schedule? Haters can't even be consistent.

I mean it's totally random man. shyt happens sometimes. Bad shooting nights help keep teams in the game. I had the Nets +12 that game

 

[N*E*R*D]

Defending champs playing the second easiest schedule in the NBA tho? Come on Silver, just admit this streak was manufactured

They've beaten the Memphis Grizzles(2x), Los Angeles Clippers (2x), Houston Rockets, and Toronto Raptors on this run. All playoff teams with stars. They are not just beating up on low-tier teams they've faced some good teams already. Plus every game is a playoff game from now until they lose because the whole league is gunning to be 1st to knock them off now. None of these teams are just laying down to get blown out either.
