Best player in the league. Best surrounding players in the league(meaning everyone after the top guy).
The team has a bunch of great three point shooters. Their top guys rarely have awful nights so the variance is minimized. Having so many other shooters also minimizes the variance.
Their defense is also good. The only way to stand a chance is through ball movement to get easy shots. Otherwise the Warriors are always going to be more efficient at scoring.
Teams need to trap curry early not close to to yhe three line. Green is a great playmaker but if you force him to make 3 dribbles instead of 2 hes not as effective.
armchair coaches here thinking they have the solution to Curry & the Warriors.
This is the best team in the NBA as long as nobody is hurt, the gap between #1 and #2,#3 is big right now in terms of team ability.
2k Steph is worse than real-life Steph. Never has that happened, even with LeBron
Ok. I'll answer everyone's posts in one post.
What makes Golden State great is that their offense is based of other elite offenses. Small ball and stretch 4, Stan Van Gundy and D'Antoni. Ball movement and plays; San Antonio Spurs. Small ball, Phoenix Suns. Defensive principles? San Antonio Spurs.
Their also led by a coach who didn't have the elite athleticism but played in the systems two dynamic successful systems to win 5 rings as a player and 1 as a coach. He had all the mind to coach and motivate. Kerr also had general manager experience which means he knew scouting. Marc Jackson was not the proper motivator and leader for this team and didn't have the adequate experience Kerr had. Its no doubt why they excelled under Kerr because they learned what it takes to be elite.
The Warriors are composed of players who were deemed inadequate(green, bogut), diamond in the rough (livingston and iguodala), scapegoated (ezeli), and concluded to be a non franchise championship elite player (curry). All this compilation is perfect..in every way.
Specifically, their work ethic is unparalleled. They move off ball constantly. Everyone knows the plays including the rookies. They do not stop executing no matter how large the lead which prevents them from becoming careless. All their players are confident in themselves no matter. Everyone shoots in rhythm with no hitches. Their shooting overshadows that they're a top ten defense because they receive too many possessions and play at a high pace which allows more opponent scoring.
Their able to switch clutch and critical situations because of their size at and versatility at every position. With their best lineup, everyone can score one on one and they're are no liabilities on both ends.
The fact that people want them to trap Curry and have him defer to his teammates shows how he overshadows his all-star caliber teammates to an extreme extent. Everyone forgets what Barnes, Green, Iguodala, and Thompson is capable of when the time comes and they answer. Thus the Amare treatment..wouldn't work on a guy who likes to shoot 100 threes consecutively, is leading the league in attempts and makes, and is the best in the category overall. He practices all the mechanics including the footwork/ball handling leading to his shots in pregame.
The Cavs have no chance against them. Reality eludes the delusional Cleveland fan. Denial, deflection, and ignorance is their best friends. The fact they're the exact same team from 08-09 but worse and older is just wow. Their GM threw their team under the bus as they were dominated by the one of the top defenses in the nba. , they aren't even a top ten defense. They're only a top 5 offense.
They are that good. Good is an understatement.
You can't trap a player who has the excellent ball handling skills that Curry has. The fact that he shoots so many threes makes fans forget he can get to the rim whenever.
They haven't played the top 2 teams in the West. The Thunder are overrated and have no offense. They generate it from two players as it always was.
The Spurs are the only team that has a chance but can they withstand Golden State's pace, quickness, youth, versatility, etc? Golden State deserves to be over any team in the NBA including the Spurs.
The Warriors haven't lost because of skill. They're so good that when they play absolutely awful or even dreadful, they still win. Dreadful was against the Clippers in the 1st half of that game. That and the almost fluke loss against the Nets which they proved was just a beyond mean performance by the nets by obliterating them tonight. They motivated the Jazz the other day but the Jazz still lost.
Its not about luck for them..its about who worked hard enough.
All this trapping Curry nonsense. Like teams haven't tried that? Like teams didn't try that in the playoffs last year and during the regular season when he won MVP.
Its easy to talk out of the ass when you don't look up or witness the facts laid out in front of you. Facts don't care about feelings.
Backed points: Nathan89, TD21, skut, baseline bum

Damn..that's a huge wall of text.
tell us how you really feel
But I honestly read that, solid points imo
The thing with Golden State is if you ask the four other guys to beat you, they WILL beat you. That's what makes them so good, aside from them playing on both ends of the floor.
We score more points than the other team in games we play. That's why we are better.
Make them play defense for 24 seconds every possession. Force curry to work on d alot, either through screens or forcing switches and post him up. Like body blows in boxing, you won't start seeing the the damage until prob late game three or in game 4.
It's little things too...like on fast breaks, assume curry is pulling up for three everytime so overplay it, especially in game swinging moments. Concede two, not three.
Lel at anyone who thinks theyre not that good, theyre elite at everything they do
The warriors are playing like 2014 spurs the beautiful game, with a younger core, versatile support players and arguably more depth
Obviously you got steph curry playing like its a videogame, but the warriors have elite defensive centers, one of the best defensive player in the league in green, good defensive wings who shoot the three efficiently. A 2 way player at the SG position and 2 quality backup point guards. This team has everything
They play great offense, and adequate defense. Their Achilles heel right now is that their coach is out, and they might morph the game he developed into a hybrid where they have regressed a bit to their previous ways just enough to make it difficult for Steve to shift into playoff basketball. We'll see.
Great shooting, Health, and Momentum.
I hope they stay healthy all year. I hope they stay undefeated until they play the Spurs in January. Lets punch them in the mouth and see how they take it.
The only team that I saw trap Curry CONSISTENTLY was the Nets when they played in Oakland. I have yet to see team for other players to beat them in crunch time but simply try to switch & get burned every time w/ a Curry 3. I also have yet to see a coach hack Iggy despite him being a shaky 50% FT shooter. I bet you if Iggy was a 7ft center he would have been getting a hack-a-D'Andre treatment but most coaches don't think out of the box. , a video coordinator was the one that suggest to Kerr to not guard Tony Allen when it was obvious to anyone who watched basketball that Tony Allen should have been getting that treatment for the last 5 years.
Donne Nelson was the only motha a that had the balls to do the unthinkable such as hacking a small forward (Bruce Bowen). Meanwhile you got degenerate coaches in 2015 refusing to foul at the end of the game when they are up 3. Rick Carlisle & Kerr are the only current coaches that aren't stubborn when it comes to in game adjustment. Pop is always on the sideline sinking w/ the ship w/ that "pound the rock" mentality.

I don't think they're nearly as deep as the 14 Spurs were.
However, Steph Curry is far more devastating than anyone on the Spurs that year. , he's a once a generation weapon. He warps the entire game just by playing, like a Jerry Rice or a Barry Bonds.
I will say there 3 point game is psychologically devastating. I have seen games that are close in the 4th quarter and Curry will go on stretch where he will knock down 3 3's in a minute and then the other team just suddenly quits. If its not Curry hitting the 3's some other guy will knock down a couple and boom the other team suddenly gives up. You have to be mentally strong to beat this team.
BTW Why isn't Kerr coaching? Health, family? What's the story? Nice bloke, hope he's ok.
Back surgery
OK Thanks, he'll be right then
Addition by subtraction....
I go a different way with it all. The GS dominance speaks to how weak the rest the league currently is. Way too damn many cream puff teams in this league.
Good post but I do think they have been careless with turnovers and the right team (spurs?/Cavs?) could make them pay for that ...agree with the rest though.
