Old guy yelling at clouds.

The ultimate analytics team would have beaten GS if not for an injury to a star player.

I've been saying this for years. Analytics is for the nerds who can't play.

He’s right that you can’t beat the warriors at their own game. He’s right that yOu can’t rely solely on analytics.

However, bigs can’t play in :lol today’s nba because the league is desperate to get another Jordan, which doesn’t exist, so they create these wuss rules for the perimeter players.

The Warriors are good at this not because they chuck 3s, but because :

- they have versatile players
- they are unselfish
- they move the ball well
- they shoot in rythm
- they can shoot
- they don't take bad 3s, except for Curry but he makes them anyway lol


It's like in the 90s, some teams tried to implement the triangle offense on to fail

They're still asterisk champions, tbh.

Barkley said the Warriors would never win a title by relying on 3s, he's still trying to make excuses for his terrible prediction:lol


The Rockets are the only team that has even challenged the Warriors since Durant joined them..clearly their strategy worked, they just lost their 2nd most important player to injury..the only way to beat GS is to shoot a ton of 3s and pray..
