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.
:whoa:
Um, yeah... you went too far.

Lot's of good defenders, but not lots of great interior defenders.

This is understandable. The Warriors' interior defense is effective, but part of that is because they have good perimeter defenders that disrupt all the way to the basket. Klay will often follow his man into the paint and block or deflect from behind. They don't have an interior anchor that can scare away a Lebron or Westbrook drive.

Bogut?

Bogut doesn't have the athletic ability to keep the best slashers in the league away. He's a cerebral player with alot of size, which is to his credit.

LOL. The numbers are what the numbers are... I mean that's whats actually HAPPENED this season. No he's not going to "scare" Westbrook. Mutumbo wouldn't scare Westbrook.

Seems popular on this forum to say they'll be "exposed" but I just don't see it. What is the weakness to expose? What is it that they lack? Barring a major choke job, it would take a Spurs team clicking on all cylinders to beat a healthy Warriors squad in a 7-game series

Another young guy suckin off the GS team because of their record :dead:

Go study some 90's films and then come back with less ignorance :camby:

This team will get blown out in R2. Heard it here first :sas1:

Just so you youngins know, we've seen this type of team many times before. They have a good record because of the weakness of the league. This team still won't make it past R2, and for sure won't be in the finals.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way guaranteeing a Dubs championship this year.

With that said, you're out of your mind. When have we seen a team that's been as good on both ends of the court as this years Warriors (Many times???!!!???)? And if the league is so watered down then why are there only 3 teams with 50+ wins so far?
