That was expected though. Big men shooting is a problem for this team and if Draymond can hit then we are probably screwed.
Except Thompson is now picking things up. But agree that Dray playing at an All Star level is far more dangerous.
And I don't think anyone here thinks the Warriors are overrated. But they're beatable (I should have said they're not unbeatable before people burn me at the stake - it'll be a struggle).

no they're saying things like the OP of this thread as if GSW is nothing to worry about
I don't think the Warriors have really played any teams smart enough to expose them yet. They aren't some invincible team, at this point they are so concerned with the record they aren't thinking of ever resting the players for a game such as on back to backs. Injuries will catch up to them at some point as they try to hit some meaningless win streak.
Tbh, everyone else looks like they are playing for second at this point.
^Bandwagon Cali fan having no shame. Change your sn to Warriorraider30 clown.
23-0 isn't an every season occurrence one should just gloss over.
For us to beat them In a 7 game series green would have to be on fire the whole time..... Still not sure we beat them healthy. I don't like the idea of wishing injury upon another team but at this point that's what it will take.
We'd need Green to be hot the whole time, LMA to score 20 a game, and Kawhi to average a double-double and average 2-3 steals a game, TP needs to score at least 10 a game, and Manu to be a factor off the bench in every game including the rest of the bench, none of whom can have an off night...and it would still be up in the air. The Pacers have hit 14 threes tonight at home with their superstar player scoring 32 points and are still losing by double-digits.
Glad someone has a healthy fear of this team other than me. Never seen anything like them..... They took our 2014 team basketball and took it to a new level.
Spurs are lucky to not face GSW now tbh
This. Theyre makin every other team in the league look like philly. Nasty blowouts and games over by the third quarter.
I think living 25 minutes from Oakland and having the ability to see all of their games makes it easier for me to fear them but yeah, it's beyond silly to just swat their accomplishments aside as a defending Champion, especially since our team has never successfully defended a Championship. And yes, they took our 2014 concept...except they have no Bonner, no Ayres, no Daye and have them replaced with competent players. If we win it all this season, it would be the greatest accomplishment the franchise has ever pulled off.
They're the best team in the league right now and it's not even close. Good thing is the season doesn't really start till April. We'll see what happens then.
I wouldn't say "it's not even close." They haven't faced a defense like ours this season yet. I read an article that said our defense is having one of the greatest defensive ratings (92.0) since our Spurs team did in '03-'04 or something like that. To put it in perspective, the GSW league leading defensive rating last year was something like 98.2.
Edit: Found the article... http://www.poundingtherock.com/2015/...-state-offense
Well, word is Klay sprained his ankle in the closing minutes of the game that had been a laugher until they put their foot off the gas and the Pacers started hitting shots so they had to reinsert Klay into the game. They'll have until Friday for their next game so if he doesn't play and Barnes is still out, they might finally lose a game.
Wheels starting to fall off when you have the foot on the pedal.![]()
We're 4 games back. We are still in running for numero uno tbh.![]()
I thought Indiana would actually threaten them. Nope.
Actually, they have faced a defense that's pretty damn strong in the Bulls (ranked at #4) and dropped 106 on them. They also just dropped 131 points on the road against the team with the 6th best defensive rating without Barnes. So yeah, I'd say it's not even close right NOW. We are the only team that can beat them this season but we're clearly not they're yet.
We need to face them now, earlier is better so we can adjust.
i honestly think they will break the bulls record. these games arent even close.
it sucks cause we are doing so well too but it's just these assholes literally cant lose![]()
Pop wouldn't make a real adjustment for one team until the playoffs. It's about being ready to face that challenge and they're not ready yet.
And it looks like the refs will let them get away with murder if it's going down to the wire too, as evidenced in their two games vs. the Raptors. They have everything in their favor right now. They're at the point where injuries to key players are only a mild bother that makes games a smidgen more compe ive. It's ing ridiculous. I hope we reach that point after the AS break.
Lol
