Silly question but who are the biggest threats to the Warriors or who can make games interesting against them? Please don't say the Cavs..

Nah, outside of KD and Thompson there's no one on the Warriors to "fear". As long as refs start calling illegal screens on the Warriors, Steph Curry won't be as effective. Plus their defense has took a hit since their first title. They're depending on KD to be their rim protector, which he most deff can not sustain

OKC and Houston deff have the tools to beat them. I would add the Pelicans too, if they trade for a better supporting cast to Cousins and AD

Nah I don't agree. Houston or OKC can beat the Warriors in the playoffs
Carmelo is I think a career 40% shooter in the playoffs. Russ seemingly has a meltdown every time he sees their defense. The rockets want no part of that matchup. Take a look at this.
Playoff Har_en:

@Cynical Thoughts he consistently goes out like a chump in big games. The only exception I found was game 5 of the 2012 finals where the starters besides KD shot 8-35 on the game. Take a look at this right here.


Heliflopter Har_en in the 2012 finals vs Miami: 12.4 points per game on a .375/.318/.792 shooting slash.

2013 quarterfinals vs Oklahoma City: 26.4 points on a .391/.341/.803 shooting slash while averaging 4.5 turnovers per game. He went 7-22 with 4 turnovers in game 6.

2014 quarterfinals vs Portland: 26.8 points on a .376/.296/.900 shooting slash. Called to switch off the ball on the final play where Dame got open for the buzzer beater. Was supposed to be his responsibility on the play.

2015 Western conference finals vs Golden State: 2-11 with 12 turnovers in game 5 vs the warriors. Read that again. More turnovers than shot attempts. This was also the same postseason the rockets made their big rally against the clippers with him on the bench.

2016 quarterfinals vs golden state: 26.6 points on a .410/.310/.844 shooting slash with 26 turnovers for an average of 6.5 turnovers per game.

I don’t think we need to rehash game 6 this year. Dude stays going out in humiliating fashion :scust:
