kinda like the '12 - '13 heat. but the moment the streak ended they ended up resting half their roster.

Especially since the warriors are younger, they should have no problem

At the top.
Yeah, he actually plays in the 4th qtr :heh:. Steph and co. are talking about dinner reservations and what genre of p*ssy will be getting run through with 2 min left in the 3rd most nights.
You niqqas ain't shyt :laff:
But on the real they aren't tired at all. Look at the minutes played by Curry and he's sitting out end of games ..they'll be fine.

It's still "weird" that the fukking Warriors are the defending champs.

As far as the streak and being rested or mentally fatigued etc, they will be fine.

If their bench stay's focused and stems the 4th quarter onslaughts then they will be fine resting out entire quarters with the occasional difficult team to make them play a 4th.

That core; Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Draymond, even throw in Ezili and Iguodala. That's an average age of 26. They are a young team.
"Young" has nothing to do with age. They are youthful, but not inexperienced. Their young years were the years they lost to the Clippers in the first round and the Spurs in the second.

This year will be their fourth straight playoff birth and the second time as the top seed.

They are tested, in their primes and ready to go.

I consider "young" to be The Wolves, Pistons, Magic, Bucks. teams like that that are clearly on the come up. Trying to get their first playoff berth.

GSW ain't young. They're just in their primes.

No, but not facing adversity earlier on ,could hurt them, especially if they don't get challenge in the playoffs.

Pelicans have a higher average age than GSW, and I would still consider them younger.

Same with the Cavs. They are a younger TEAM, despite having a higher average age.

There's no argument for the Cavs or Pels being more experienced than the Dubs, despite being older.

I can see this being a valid thing if they weren't defending champs already. They've been to the mountain top already. They should have the benefit of the doubt...

You can look at the flip-side and say they will be the most hardened and battle-tested team by the time the playoffs come around, because they play high level basketball every night as teams try to take them down.

PLUS, the playoff schedule offers up more rest then the regular season.
