You stay hyperbolizing sub-average Warriors. Can't all of your great/good players be enough? Do you have to pretend that guys like Festus and Ekpe Udoh are legit? This dude can't rotate, he's a barely passable one on one defender, he bites on fakes, and he barely move the needle on ANY metric. Block %, Defensive plus/minus per 100, replacement value... all garbage.

With Bogut healthy, it's mostly a non issue. With him out... it gets soft in the middle. But you have enough perimeter defense and disruptors to make up for it and make it hard to work the ball in the post consistently.
Festus is a more than capable big man breh, not sure what games you've been watching. He does the job

Pick your favorite:

-Rookie coach
-Lack of experience
-Too many jumpers
-Lack of frontcourt depth
-Curry's shooting % falls every yr postseason
-'Great defense' is reliant on favorable officiating. Could change on a whim in the playoffs

Biggest one is they are soft as a team and they WILL get punked at some point.

What does this even mean. So FG% against is based on how many whistles you get. If that's the case did San Antonio, and Those recent piston squads get favorable officiating as well?

We're talking about what's the Warriors weakness right now right? Come April 17th you see a new weakness arising? 3 weeks will make all those good habits unravel?

The fukk you talmbout, b? :what:

I said the West is a beast. 3 rounds of hell. How does that equal "unraveling"? :what:

You act like G State acquired that record by playing Memphis and San Anton (in a playoff atmosphere) every night. :rudy:

OP asked about potential weaknesses. I said experience plus the fact they play in the West. You don't have to "unravel" to lose a series in the West. You're making shyt up that I didn't say and it's unfair to me that I have to respond to such foolishness. :camby:

There's a number of cats in this thread that OBVIOUSLY haven't seen the Dubs play much (read: at all) this season.

Our biggest flaw IMO is that we've been terrible for most of the past 20 years.

But that doesn't preclude us from being good this year, it only means that we have to work around some issues that other teams don't have to. And we have been. And the front office is a different place from where it was in those losing years. Kerr has a valuable pedigree of winning that goes back to Jordan's days, and followed that up with winning on other teams. And he brought in other people who have won to support...so we're doing the right things to break out of that losing mentality.

Will we win it all this year? I don't know. It seems like often, teams have to lose the big one before they can win it...so this might not be our year. With that said, we're playing out of our minds this year at both ends of the court and I am so grateful to hear the Warriors being talked about as an elite team.

I don't see Golden State having a major flaw. Doesn't mean they are going to win the championship though. If Durant come back even close to his best OKC may beat them in the first round.

Memphis played the same teams we played yet we have a better record.

They are going to get exposed, a jumpshooting team just doesn't win it all brehs.

Eventually it catches up with you. IMO Houston (with Dwight), San Antonio, and Memphis are all bad matchups for them. Hell, I think with the way Kanter is playing...if OKC had Westbrook and Durant there as well...I would take them in a first round series.

I bet the thunder take the warriors to 6 games WITHOUT Durant

So hypothetically let's say we are just a jump shooting team. You don't think we could do what the Pistons did in 04 and have our defense carry us because we have the best defense in the league? I'm pretty sure our defense is actually better than theirs was.
