I don't like Curry, but he's absolutely a true superstar, he has been arguably the best player in the NBA, this season..he's playing at a historic level..
Anyways, given the Warriors' team metrics, only 1 team that had similar numbers didn't make the NBA Finals IIRC..if they don't win the West, it will be a massive upset..
Teams with similar team metrics:
1996 Bulls: NBA championship
1994 Sonics: Heavy favorite to win the West, lost in 1st round, arguably the most memorable upset in NBA history
1991 Blazers: Lost NBA Finals
1986 Celtics: NBA championship
Green>Bowen
Kawhi>>>>Bowen defensively.
but if there's one thing that Bowen would have done that these two guys wouldn't be willing to do....
Give that light skinned a a physical beat down...A horry play against Nash or a Bowen play against carter would be nice.
Yup... The only teams with a bigger margin of victory than the Warriors all won les. They're def the favorites to come out of the West.
Very solid point. Great breakdown that really shows how they deserve the respect they should be getting. I can't tell with GSW and ATL. They are tough teams, but will they fold in the playoffs? Was hoping to see some better examples in this thread of teams that soared in the reg. season but just were too green or didn't have what it took in the bigger stage limelight. Also, we must exclude injury situations. 07 Mavs come to mind. The '10 Cavs fit this criteria? Hmm.
What I see a lot in this thread is the Warriors not being able to beat this hypothetical Spurs team in a 7 game series
My questions are
1.Where has this Spurs team been all year?
2. At what point during the season do we sub out this mediocre 2015 Spurs team for this unbeatable Spurs playoff team?
Everybody points to that 1 seed Mavs team that were favorites & got dumped
But the same people who post that wont talk about the 2011 or 2012 Spurs teams that didnt make the Finals
They also leave out all the 1 and 2 seeds that actually do make it to the Finals
Obviously the games have to be played for GSW to make it to the Finals
But at the samne time the games have to be played before get bounced from the POs
Until then all we have to go on is how there currently playing which is very very good
I'm still having a hard time seeing this team exploding onto the scene and winning a championship. They really have not been knocking on the door the last few years they have been just pretty good. We will see..
In a season plagued by injuries to every team in the West, GSW hasn't had any significant. With their talent they SHOULD be the best team in the nba regular season and best this rating and best that rating. Who gives a .
They aren't beating a healthy Spurs team in the playoffs.
Dubs aint doing shot. Trash ass team.
